Max. flow

The maximum flow of a pump is the amount of liquid it can pump in a certain amount of time.

Features of choosing the optimal performance option depend primarily on the purpose of the pump (see above). For example, for DHW recirculation models, the pump performance should not exceed the performance of the water heater. If the water heater is capable of delivering 10 litres per minute to the DHW circuit, then the maximum pump performance will be 10*60=600 L/h. The basic formula for calculating the performance of a heating system takes into account the power of the heater and the temperature difference at the inlet and outlet, and for the cold water system — the number of points of water intake. More detailed information about the calculations for each application can be found in special sources, and it is better to entrust the calculations themselves to professionals.

Max. head

The head can be described as the maximum height to which a pump can lift liquid through a vertical pipe without bending or branching. This parameter is directly related to the pressure that the pump produces: 10 m of head approximately corresponds to a pressure of 1 bar (do not confuse this parameter with operating pressure — see more about it below).

The head is one of the key specs for most circulation pumps. Traditionally, it is calculated based on the difference in height between the location of the pump and the highest point of the system; however, this principle is relevant only for units that boost the pressure of cold water(see "Suitable for"). Circulation pumps for heating and DHW work with closed circuits, and the optimal pressure depends on the total hydraulic resistance of the system. Detailed calculation formulas for the first and second cases can be found in special sources.

Minimum fluid temperature

The lowest fluid temperature at which the pump is capable of operating normally.

Almost all pumps can normally transfer cool water, regardless of the purpose (see above); therefore, for normal household use, this parameter is not critical and for some models, it may not be indicated at all. But if you need the ability to work with liquids with temperatures below 15 °C, you should pay close attention to the minimum temperature. Some models that can be used with antifreeze normally tolerate even temperatures below zero.

Max. power consumption

The electrical power consumed by the pump during normal operation and maximum performance.

This indicator directly depends on performance — after all, for pumping large volumes of water, an appropriate amount of energy is needed. And the power depends on two main parameters — electricity consumption and the load on the power grid, which determines the connection rules. For example, pumps with a power of more than 5 kW cannot be connected to ordinary household sockets; more detailed rules can be found in special sources.

Motor type

The type of electric motor provided in the design of the pump.

— Asynchronous. Engines of this type have the simplicity of design and low price, combined with reliability. Their main disadvantage is the dependence of the rotational speed on the load, which leads to the fact that it is difficult to adjust this frequency accurately for such an engine. At the same time, for domestic use, it is not critical and in the professional sphere, it rarely creates difficulties. Therefore, induction motors are very popular in modern pumps.

— Synchronous. Synchronous motors are distinguished by high accuracy in speed control — it practically does not depend on the load on the rotor; this is their main advantage over asynchronous ones. On the other hand, this type is more complex and expensive, and the need for fine adjustment is quite rare. Therefore, synchronous electric motors are mainly installed in high-end pumps designed for use in specific conditions.

Port-to-port length

The installation length is the distance between the inlet and outlet of the pump, in other words, the length of the segment occupied by the pump in the circuit. This parameter allows you to estimate the amount of space required for the unit, and determine the length of the pipe section that needs to be cut.
