Delta-T Variable Speed, ECM High-Efficiency Circulator
DESCRIPTION:
The Viridian VT2218 circulator is a temperature sensing, self-adjusting, variable
speed wet rotor circulator with an ECM, permanent magnet motor. Operating
modes include Delta-T, constant speed, set point heat, set point cool, and boiler
protection. Its high efficiency motor reduces power consumption by up to 85%
compared to equivalent AC permanent split capacitor circulators.
APPLICATION:
• Maximum operating pressure: 125 psi (862 kPa)
• Maximum water temperature: 230°F (110ºC)
• Electrical specifications:
Voltage: 110-120V, 50/60 Hz, single phase
Maximum operating power: 58W
Maximum amp rating: 0.67
• Equipped with a cast iron casing and should be used for closed
loop systems only.
• Taco circulator pumps are for indoor use only – employer uniquement a
l’interieur.
• Acceptable for use with water or maximum of 50% water/glycol solution.
FEATURES:
• 5 operating modes:
- Delta-T; variable speed, maintains constant
∆
T, provides exact GPM flow required
- Constant Speed - 4 fixed speed options, maintains constant flow for zoning
- Set Point Heat - variable speed with boiler protection option, decreases speed on temperature rise
- Set Point Cool - variable speed, increases speed on temperature rise
- Boiler Protection - protects boiler from low return temperature and flue gas condensation
• Full LCD display showing:
- Mode, speed or temperature setting, watts, supply temperature, return temperature, and error
code diagnostics.
• Use with a Taco ZVC Zone Valve Control or SR Switching Relay for ON/OFF operation.
• Integral Flow Check (IFC) is included in carton. Simply press into discharge flange if required.
• Swivel-flanged casing provides 360° rotation mounting flexibility.
• BIO Barrier
TM
protects rotor and bearings from black iron oxide.
• Whisper quiet operation (<40dB)
INSTALLATION:
WARNING: Do not use in swimming pool or spa areas. Pump has not been investigated for these applications.
AVERTISSEMENT: Ne pas utiliser dans une piscine ou un spa. La pompe n'a pas été étudiée pour ces applications.
CAUTION: The addition of petroleum based fluids or certain chemical additives to systems using TACO equipment
voids the warranty. Consult factory for fluid compatibility.
ATTENTION: L'ajout de liquides à base de pétrole ou de certains additifs chimiques à des systèmes utilisant un
équipement TACO annule la garantie. Consultez le fabricant pour connaître la compatibilité de liquides.
CAUTION: Installations at elevations over 5000 feet must have higher fill pressure of 20 psi minimum to prevent
pump cavitation and flashing. Premature failure may result. Adjust expansion tank pressure to equal fill pressure. A
larger size expansion tank may be required.
ATTENTION: Des installations à des altitudes de plus de 1600 mètres doivent présenter une pression de remplissage
plus élevée de 20 psi au minimum afin d'éviter toute cavitation ou flashing de la pompe. Une défaillance prématurée
peut en résulter. Réglez la pression du réservoir d'expansion de façon qu'elle soit égale à la pression de remplis-
sage. Un réservoir d'expansion d'une taille supérieure peut être nécessaire.
