Circulation pumps
Circulation pump
Circulation pump is a device for forced circulation of liquid (heat carrier) in the heating system. It has a fairly compact design and its width is in the range of 130-180 mm. The equipment is installed directly in the pipeline, where it helps the coolant in certain areas of the system to overcome the existing resistance.
Scope and principle of operation
The water circulation device has a limited scope of use, namely:
- When installing a warm floor;
- For pumping liquids of various purposes;
- In private homes and some businesses for more efficient operation of the system during the heating season;
- In hydraulic systems to increase the pressure during water supply.
But most often pumps can be seen precisely in the heating system, due to which problems arise with a significant temperature difference in the premises. That is, the radiators installed near the boiler have an increased degree of heating, but as the distance increases, the coolant circulates poorly in the heating system, and the radiator grills can be almost cold.
A pump is installed to solve the problem. The device has a steel rotor in its housing with an impeller placed on the shaft. With the start of the electric motor, the blades located on the wheel are set in motion, the coolant enters the middle of the unit from the nozzle and forces water to continuously flow under pressure to obtain uniform heating in each room.
How much electricity does the water circulation pump consume?
Equipment of this type provides continuous supply of heat carrier in a closed heating system, and it is precisely for its high-quality operation that a high power of the device is required. At the same time, the amount of consumed electricity is usually the same as in a standard light bulb, that is, it does not exceed 70-100 W.
The pumps implemented by Titan have three modes, with the change of which the energy consumption varies with the power of the equipment. Each unit has built-in automation, which not only simplifies use, but also reduces energy costs.
How to choose a central heating circulation pump?
There are certain criteria that you should pay attention to before purchasing a unit. The main and more important of them are:
- Power. It is selected depending on the differences of a certain system. If pipes with a small diameter are installed in the pipeline, more power is required to overcome the hydraulic resistance. Circuits with a short length require pumps whose power does not exceed 100 W, and indicators from 150 W are chosen for multi-level complex systems.
- Productivity – shows what volume of coolant the unit is able to pump in a certain period of time. Circulation equipment in the Titan assortment is designed to work at a speed of 44-65 l/min.
Importantly! It is not recommended to choose more than the required performance indicator, because more powerful pumps will lead to higher consumption of electricity and will also create unnecessary noise, but the quality of work itself may remain unchanged.
- The pressure of the direction is responsible for the height to which the coolant will rise. Our company supplies a heating circulation pump that is capable of pumping liquid to a height of 4 to 8 meters, and also has more than 10 modes that allow not only to adjust the temperature indicators, but also to control the pressure and constant speed. Automatic and night mode are also supported.
