MAGNA circulator Magna is the “smart” wet rotor circulator that’s amazingly adaptable. Wet rotor technology means the pump is oil-less and seal-less. It has no noisy fan because it’s cooled and lubricated by the water it pumps. Integrated variable speed drive automatically adjusts performance to meet demand, saving energy -- and Magna’s revolutionary permanent magnet rotor design saves more energy than other speed-controlled circulator pumps. Flange connections designed for easy replacements. Grundfos. |

Helio-Pak heat transfer appliance The Helio-Pak (HPAK) is an all-in-one closed loop heat-transfer appliance, specifically designed to simplify solar hot water systems, and provide maximum heat transfer. The hpak comes factory assembled, and wired with all necessary components, making installation a trouble-free experience. With its unique design, the srcc rated its performance as being 25% more efficient than conventional internal heat exchangers. A major benefit the Helio-Pak provides is that it attaches directly onto the hot water tank. As a result, under certain conditions, the hpak can be mounted onto a pre-existing water tank, thereby reducing costs. Heliodyne.
