Low-carbon pump solution

The low-carbon pump skid has been designed to complete the plant room. This solution enables the
heated water from the Spirax EasiHeatTM to be accurately distributed to the various sub-circuits within the
plant using low carbon footprint pumps.
The low carbon pump skid is supplied with twin head variable speed pumps and all associated ancillary equipment installed on each circuit. The unit can be further
enhanced, for optimum performance, by selecting the optional pressurisation unit and expansion vessel to remove the requirement for a feed and expansion system.

Low-carbon pump skid features:

Shunt circuit
Constant temperature circuits (up to 3 circuits)
Variable temperature circuits (up to 3 circuits)
Low loss header design
Twin head variable speed Lowara pumps
Expansion vessels
Pressurisation unit and expansion vessel Optional extras
Binder test points
Pre-wired to isolators
