Car Collector Chronicles - THE FORUM

Hello everyone! Today we will discuss an important topic - how to choose and install a circulation pump.

How to choose a pump?

The pump is selected based on several parameters:

Boiler capacity and heating system volume. For old systems with registers, the capacity is approximately 15 liters per 1 kW, for new ones - about 8 liters.

House area. This parameter helps the manager understand what kind of pump you need.

Performance and pressure. For example, the pump should pump 860 liters of water per hour with a temperature difference of 20 degrees.

Important: too powerful a pump can cause noise in the radiators. For an accurate selection, use calculations and performance graphs.

How to install a pump?

Correct installation is the key to long-term operation. Here are the basic rules:

Pump position. Install it horizontally or vertically, but strictly according to the manufacturer's instructions. The electric motor should be on top or on the side.

Direction of water movement. It is indicated by an arrow on the pump body.

Bleeding. Before starting, remove the air using the bleed screw. This is important to prevent the pump from burning out.

Connection. If you need to extend the cable or connect the pump to the controller, do it carefully.

Pay attention to the speed switch. This allows you to adjust the volume and pressure of water. But remember: it is forbidden to install the pump so that the axis is at an angle, otherwise it may become air-filled.
