Port-to-port length [mm] Model type Pump heads in twin-head pumps This data booklet covers MAGNA3 from model D. The The twin-head pump housing has a flap valve on the model version is stated on the nameplate. See fig. 1. outlet side. The flap valve seals off the port of the idle pump housing to prevent the pumped liquid from running back to the inlet side.
The selection of pump size must be based on the Closed valve operation following: A MAGNA3 pump can operate at any speed against a • required maximum flow closed valve for several days without damage to the • maximum pressure loss in the system.

MAGNA3 Δt Differential temperature • Ensures a constant differential temperature drop across heating and cooling systems. • The pump will maintain a constant differential temperature between the pump and the external sensor. Constant curve • The pump can be set to operate according to a constant curve, like an uncontrolled pump.

MAGNA3 Constant temperature This control mode is suitable in heating systems with a fixed system characteristic, for example domestic hot-water systems, where the control of the pump according to a constant return-pipe temperature is relevant. Characteristics and key benefits • The temperature is kept constant.

MAGNA3 Depending on the pump model, you can set the Temperature sensor desired speed in % of the maximum speed. The span To measure the temperature difference of the flow pipe of control depends on the minimum speed, power and and the return pipe, you must use both the internal pressure limitation of the pump.
Additional control mode features limit LIMIT reduce the pump speed to ensure that the flow rate MAGNA3 offers additional features for the control never exceeds the FLOW set, no matter if the LIMIT modes to meet specific demands.
