Variable-speed technology and controls improve pump efficiency, ease of installation

In hydronic heating and cooling systems, circulator pumps move water or refrigerant throughout a closed-loop system in order to transfer energy from the source to the point of need. While older circulator pumps utilized single-speed motors and were largely inefficient, advances in motor technology, controls, and pump design have transformed the market and ushered in a new era of highly efficient products that feature variable-speed motors, easy installation and setup, remote connectivity, and more.

Armstrong Fluid Technology has announced two new enhancements to its Astro wet-rotor circulators that include a larger wiring box for easier access and faster wiring on the 220, 225, 230 and 250 Series circulators.

This larger 3” x 4.25” box includes a threaded connection to accept commercially available ½” NPT electrical connectors directly. The identical wiring box is also used on larger capacity Astro models.

The new COMPASS circulator helps contractors and wholesalers with easy selection, fast installation, and extremely broad performance capabilities for application to a wide variety of installations, the company said. The circulator features Design Envelope technology. The circulator also helps homeowners reduce energy consumption and operating costs. In “Auto” mode — one of eight operating modes available for selection — the circulator adjusts its operating speed to match HVAC demand at any given moment. Over time, the circulator
learns a system’s patterns of demand and appropriately adjusts output to reduce energy usage even more. According to the manufacturer, the circulators are suited to applications requiring up to 20 gpm and 20 feet of pressure.
