Great idea,

Rich. I will remind you that when I went to ISH in'93, the Grundfos folks were showing off the Alpha pump with remote control programming. The chief engineer said "America is too small a hydronics market to export this pump." 14 years later, Wilo started exporting a "smart" residential pump. Grundfos has exported the larger models, but not the residential-sized circs.

    Give me a circulator that will Modulate a boiler!

    ( Like the Viessmann 100, or any boiler that will take a 0V-10V signal)


    Base it on:

    Delta T

    Delta P

    Maybe put an Outdoor/ Indoor feedback on it


    PID

    Make it easy to change/service/work on

    Give the Customer/Installer a exchange Programme i.e:On a yearly annual service call the Tech exchanges the circ for a very "GREEN" factory Recycled/Rebuild/Reserviced unit Regardless if it is working or not!

    Let me have a simple windows based Interface that will not only Alarm me if something goes wrong but will also let me see all the data like: Amp draws;Supply temps; Return temps Running hr;Trending/Data logging;Power consumption and with an access code gain access to different levels of control capabilities i.e. Costumer access for programming setbacks of Occupied/Unoccupied modes; E-mails on system status.Reminders for Maintainace...

    Most "New" Circ's are taking a 0V - 10V signal !

    How about reversing this?

    Or is this not Practical? maybe some other control like "Tekmar" or "Iworx"?

    But from a annual service standpoint i think a Circulating pump can open very "Green" and beneficial service industry

    Along with the Biers and Brats just one more thing that i will hopefully see at the ISH! Richard.
