DISCOVER THE BENEFITS WITH THE ESBE GRC200 CIRCULATION UNIT
2024-10-22
Maria Bard is one of ESBE’s product managers, and just like ESBE she is born and raised in Reftele. After a few years of studies and travelling both in Sweden and abroad, Maria went back to her roots. She now lives in a house from the 1950s in Reftele with her husband, and their three daughters. We came to talk about the house that the Bard family lives in, and in true ESBE fashion Maria tells us about the heating system they have installed:
“We have a heat pump from IVT that is controlled by both outdoor and indoor temperature. We also have a cassette insert in our fireplace which gives a nice heat. But we mostly use the fireplace for the cosiness factor.”
When talking about the subject of living and housing, we also took the opportunity to ask Maria about her own thoughts on heating. As a product manager at ESBE, she’s pretty knowledgeable on the subject. She immediately started talking about the circulation unit series GRC200 , that’s in Maria’s eyes is a hidden ESBE gem that deserves more time in the spotlight.
“The GRC200 is an all-in-one package, ready to just plug and play. And with the quick fit connection you don’t even need tools to assemble the actuator to the valve.”, Maria says about the circulation unit series, and continues, “The series has different versions depending on what requirements your system needs. This gives you the flexibility to use this unit for most heating systems and to get all the advantages of such a system.”
GRC200 features and advantages
The GRC200 circulation unit series creates high temperature comfort indoors thanks to the smart software and ESBE’s self-adapting system. When the system doesn’t need heat, the pump is automatically switched off to save energy – hence saving you energy and money!
Like all ESBE circulation units the GRC200 consists of premium ESBE products that are put into a sleek insulation shell ready to be mounted and installed quickly and easy. And it comes with the following features and advantages:
» Outstanding flow regulation
» PWM pump control with 8 different settings
» Choose between two high-efficiency PWM circulation pumps, either Wilo or Grundfos, both using CRx pump control technology
» Everything needed is pre-assembled – ready to use straight out of the package
» Quick Fit connection between actuator and valve – no tools required
» High-quality insulating shell
» Stylish and compact design
» Quick and easy maintenance
Why should you get a combined weather/indoor compensated circulation unit?
“As a property owner I think it’s the dream to be able to achieve the highest indoor comfort at the lowest possible energy consumption.”, Maria says. “For example, with the GRC240 series you can give your system the capability to collect data from both indoor and outdoor temperature to make sure the heating system can work as efficiently as possible. That way you save both energy and money.”
By using data from both weather and indoor sensors, you can make sure that your house is heated more accurately and efficiently. For example, there’s a cold, but sunny, winter’s day and the sun shines through your window and heats up your home, and you have a system that only reads the outdoor temperature. In this scenario, the system will not be able to compensate for the heating given by the sun and your indoor temperature will most likely get unnecessarily high. Which would be very wasteful.
If we add an indoor sensor, to get a reading from both indoor and outdoor temperatures, we give the circulation units controller more data to accurately adjust the temperature in your home. This way you make sure that the system keeps a more even and comfortable temperature, and more importantly doesn’t use unnecessary energy resources.
