Pro Series pumps While most pumps consume an average of 10 amps of electricity while they are running, Glentronics’ PHCC Pro Series pumps draw only 4 to 5.5 amps of power. That translates to an average savings of $55 per year for most homeowners. Pumps from Glentronics use a unique Dual Float Switch system that activates a back-up switch if, for some reason, the first switch fails. Dual Float Switches are also mounted within a protective cage to prevent debris or other wires from interfering with the operation of the float system. In addition to the extra reliability built in to the Dual Float Switch system, durable, industrial-grade pumps are designed to run continuously, 24/7. Glentronics.

Hydronic buffer tanks Used in systems operating below the design load condition, which is most of the time, or in systems having several low BTU cooling or heating loads calling at different times. This can cause the chiller or the boiler to short cycle, resulting in reduced operating efficiency and shorter equipment life. Tanks are built with four connections. Two connections can be piped to the chiller or boiler, and two connections can be piped to the distribution system. If piped correctly, the tank can serve as both a thermal buffer and a hydraulic separator. The chiller or boiler can be hydraulically decoupled from the distribution system. Tanks are stainless steel construction with R-12 insulation, and an ABS jacket. Buffer tanks are available in 40, 60, 80 and 115-gallon capacities, and are available with 11/4", 11/2" or 2" connections. Heat-Flo. |
