GENERAL INFORMATION 

1.1

 

USES 

The AGE4, AGE4 Z and the AGE4D wet rotor circulator are used for the circulation of liquid medium within systems for 
hot-water heating, air-conditioning and ventilation. They are designed as single or twin variable-speed pumping 
aggregates where the speed is regulated by electronic on board controller. The pump constantly measures pressure and 
flow and adjusts the speed according to the set pump mode.

The main purpose of the twin pump is uninterrupted operation if one of the pumps fails. Common hydraulic housing is 
equipped with a change-over flap and two pump heads, separately connected to the electrical main.
