Applications of ALPHA SOLAR Circulator Pumps
Domestic Heating
Ideal for residential heating systems, ensuring that solar-heated water circulates efficiently in radiators, underfloor heating, or hot-water storage tanks.
Solar Heating Systems
The ALPHA SOLAR circulator is tailored for thermal solar collectors. It efficiently circulates water or glycol-based fluids through collectors and heat exchangers.
Hybrid Energy Systems
Works seamlessly with hybrid solar-electric heating systems, supporting both green energy use and backup heating.
Working Principle of ALPHA SOLAR Circulator Pumps
The ALPHA SOLAR pump operates by circulating heated liquid from solar collectors through the system. Its PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control system allows the pump to adjust speed according to signals from a solar controller. This ensures:
-
Optimal efficiency.
-
Reduced energy waste.
-
Extended system lifespan.
Key Features and Benefits
High Efficiency
The Grundfos ALPHA SOLAR offers low energy consumption, making it a top choice for energy-conscious homeowners and businesses.
PWM Control
