Description
This is a modern, cost-effective solution for heating systems using Low Loss Headers (also known as Hydraulic Balancers). These components help optimize the operation of multi-boiler and multi-circuit heating systems by separating boiler circulation from heating circuits, thereby enhancing efficiency and system longevity.
Key points:
-
Compatibility: All headers are tested for pressurized systems up to 10 bar.
-
Functions: They balance flows automatically and incorporate desilter and air vent functions.
-
Operation Modes: The balancer adjusts its operation based on the heat demand relative to the boiler’s output:
- When heat demand equals boiler output, it maintains a stable flow.
- If the demand is less, it signals the boiler to decrease power or switch off.
- If the demand exceeds the boiler’s output, it signals the boiler to increase power.
-
Model Example (SHE 1"):
- Max flow: 2.3 m³/h
- Max power: 40 kW
- Temperature tolerance: up to 110°C
- Pressure: 10 bar
- Capacity: 1 liter
Advantages for investors:
- Up to 30% longer boiler service life due to protection from low return water temperature
- Increased operational comfort thanks to system desilting and aeration
- Up to 30% longer pump service life due to undisturbed mutual operation
- Quicker boiler response
- Up to 50% cost savings compared to 3- or 4-way valves
Advantages for installers:
- No system regulation needed due to automatic pump operation
- Reduced claims caused by improper system operation or air locking
- Automatic operation simplifies installation and maintenance
Available variants:
-
SHE – LLH: Power ranges from 40 to 420 kW
-
SHE-OC: Insulated versions (PUR foam + leatherette coating), powers from 40 to 115 kW (models with 225 and 420 kW can be insulated with ROCKWOOL if requested)
-
SHE-SP: Balancers with stainless steel replaceable air separators, powers from 25 to 209 kW
Summary: Using Low Loss Headers (Hydraulic Balancers) provides a reliable, efficient, and economical solution for heating systems—contributing to longer system lifespan, improved comfort, and cost savings.
