Solar pump stations

NA28237

278-279 series

Function 

Solar pump stations are used on the primary 
circuit of solar thermal water heating systems to 
control the temperature of the hot water storage. 
The pump inside the unit is activated by the signal 
from a differential temperature controller. The unit 
contains the functional and safety devices for 
optimum circuit control. They are available with 
both supply and return connection or with return 
connection only.
The iSolar

PLUS temperature differential controller 

(optional) is suitable for management and control 
of 10 pre-configured solar thermal system 
arrangements installed in an optional insulation 
jacket that mounts to the top of the pump station 
for a nice clean assembly and simplified wiring 
(code 278011).
