Residential solar circulator
www.grundfos.com
By leveraging variable speed control, the family of SOLAR circulators offers homeowners up to 80 percent energy savings over standard solar pumping systems. Ideal for residential solar thermal systems, the SOLAR PM2 is an energy-optimized, high-efficiency circulator that operates efficiently at flow rates between 0.5 – 40 gpm, with head rates up to 47 feet high, typical ranges for residential and light commercial forced circulation solar systems. SOLAR class circulators integrate seamlessly with most solar controllers via PWM interface to regulate flow and optimize heat output based on a system’s energy production (e.g., less flow at higher temperatures).

The Model 911E® Emergency Tempering System fills a critical need in the industry to economically deliver tempered water for high-flow emergency applications. The Model 911E® ETS provides both water heating and thermostatic mixing for combination emergency and eyewash equipment. The 911E® ETS incorporates patented 911E® and 911EF® thermostatic mixing valves offering positive hot water shut-off and full flow cold water bypass together with a water heating source designed to help you meet ANSI Z358.1-2004. Patented Accumulator® flattens out the temperature spike that is the natural result of suddenly bringing a large volume of hot and cold water together. Lawler.


Boiler controls

RBT-3000 low water cut-off & fuel economizer boiler control technology is designed to maximize fuel efficiency and provide valuable low water cut-off protection for hydronic heating systems. The intelligent controls built into the RBT-3000 bring advanced microprocessor technology to virtually any existing boiler, automatically adjusting water temperature based on heat load and without the need for an outdoor sensor. The energy management system used in the RBT-3000 reduces fuel/electricity consumption by 10% to 20%, reduces polluting emissions, requires no replacement of existing controls and requires no programming.
