Xylem
Inc., has been selected as the winner of the distinguished Gallery of
New Products award in the Hydronic Heating Category for its Bell &
Gossett® ecocirc auto and vario heating circulators at the recent CIPHEX West 2012 show in Vancouver, Canada.
A panel of industry experts judged specific criteria such as
sustainability, use of materials in an innovative manner, and
energy-efficient design to select category winners. Selected as a
category winner from among 56 new products, the ecocirc ‘smart’ heating
circulators were recognized for their revolutionary ECM (Electronically
Commutated Motor) technology, energy-saving features and innovative
design.
“We are delighted to be selected for this prestigious honor. The unique
technology and design we’ve incorporated into our smart pumps
demonstrates our ongoing commitment to developing eco-friendly and
energy-efficient products for HVAC and plumbing systems,” said Marc
Blais, managing director, Xylem Canada.
The ‘smart’ heating circulators’ state-of-the-art technology achieves
significant energy savings while delivering water throughout hydronic
heating systems. In fact, the ‘smart’ heating circulators use nearly 70
percent less energy than standard circulator pumps and resulting in the
perfect balance of Reliability, Efficiency and Simplicity.
Featuring ECM technology and a patented spherical motor design, the
‘smart’ heating circulators eliminate the need for a conventional shaft,
seal and bearing assembly. The rotor/impeller is the only moving part
in the entire pump and it is magnetically balanced on a stationery
ceramic bearing inside the pump housing to provide silent, long-lasting
operation.
Other features of the ecocirc auto and vario heating circulators include:
-
Control modes (auto for automatic proportional pressure control and vario for stepless speed control with a constant curve)
-
Maintenance-free, seal-list, leak-free operation
-
Resistant to scale build-up to ensure optimal flow and minimal downtime
-
Self-lubricating and automatically cooled by pump media
-
Self-realigning bearing, unique to the market
-
Step-less speed switch with LED for pump status and troubleshooting
-
Easy to install
