Bell & Gossett PL-36 hot water circulator pump is ideal for the circulation of hot water through systems, ensuring even heating and reducing energy consumption. It prevents cold spots, optimising energy efficiency and provide users with a reliable & comfortable heating systems. It is used in hydronic heating systems, such as radiators, underfloor heating and baseboard heaters, to maintain a consistent and comfortable indoor temperature.
Working Mechanism:
- Inside the pump, there is an impeller, a rotating component with curved blades. When the pump is powered on, the impeller starts to spin.
- As the impeller spins, it creates a low-pressure area at the center (suction side) and a high-pressure area at the edges (discharge side). This pressure difference causes water to be drawn into the pump from the supply pipe (suction) and pushed out into the distribution pipes (discharge).
- The pump's action forces hot water to flow through the distribution pipes and into the heating devices (radiators, baseboards or underfloor heating) located throughout the building.
- Once the hot water has released its heat energy to warm the space, it returns to the boiler to be reheated, and the cycle repeats.
- The system typically includes controls, such as thermostats and zone valves, which regulate the flow of hot water to different areas of the building based on the desired temperature settings.
Features:
- It features cast iron construction for high strength and structural rigidity.
- This circulation pump comes with a precision-machined and balanced alloy steel rotor, elevating its efficiency and performance to superior levels.
- It is equipped with the XL-11 precision-crafted bearing system, guaranteeing smooth operation and minimising maintenance requirements.
- This circulation pump has a double-sided stainless steel neck ring that optimises efficiency and ensures consistent performance.
- It features a permanently oil-lubricated design that reduces the need for frequent lubrication, enhancing convenience and reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What are the typical maintenance and replacement parts for an oil-water separator?
A. Maintenance may include cleaning coalescer elements and inspecting control components. Replacement parts may include gaskets, seals, coalescer elements, and control components.
Q. What is the maximum operating pressure of Bell & Gossett PL-36 hot water circulator pump?
A. It has a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI.
Q. What is the operating temperature of this water circulator pump?
A. It has an operating temperature up to 225 degrees F.
Q. How long does Bell & Gossett PL-36 hot water circulator pump work?
A. The bearings within this pump are engineered for aL10 rated lifespan of 100000 hours. To put this into perspective, if the pump were to operate continuously, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while staying within its specified performance range, its bearings would last for nearly 11 and half years.
