The Riotronic P pump forms part of pump sets designed as circulators for use in single-family to six-family houses. According to KSB, compared with fixed speed circulators, the Riotronic P makes it possible to save up to 90% of energy costs. The wet rotor pump can cope with a fluid temperature range of +2 °C to +110 °C. They are suitable for HVAC applications and in industrial recirculation systems. KSB’s pump is equipped with EC motors and has high starting torque and a special deblocking function.The front display shows the operating condition and also the current input power in watts and energy consumption in kilowatts. It features a vent function which prevents losses in pump performance as well as noises resulting from an accumulation of air in the pump casing. The pump will automatically remove the air from the rotor space, thus eliminating the need for manual venting. The Riotronic P wet rotor pump is equipped with heat insulation as a standard and has a compact design. The pump unit is available with two motor ratings and maximum heads of four and six metres respectively, as well as in standard overall lengths and nominal diameters. KSB plans to show the new Riotronic P pump at the ISH trade fair, which takes place in Frankfurt, Germany, from 15-19 March 2011.
