    Hot Water Recirculation Pumps. Recirculation pumps help solve the problem of waiting for hot water by continuously circulating hot water from the water heater back to the faucets. They work by using an impeller to move water through a closed loop system from the faucets to the water heater. Recirculation pumps have advanced in technology over time, now using electronically commutated motors that are more efficient than standard induction motors. The latest pumps can be set to variable speed or temperature control to further reduce energy usage.

    How a recirculation Pump works.
    History of recirculation Pumps.

    Scenario.

    We get up in the morning and we turn on the


    hot water to take a shower.
    we put our hand into the stream of water to
    check the temperature, and it is cold.
    We may wait for a full 60 seconds, or longer,
    before we can step in and take our
    shower.
    Why??
    We dont have a recirculation pump!

    Scenario.
    Residence is three bedroom with four occupants and two baths.
    Water heater is approximately 60 from master bedroom
    Hot water supply line from water heater is un-insulated copper
    pipe
    Assume the following volume of hot water wasted per day:
    Master lavatory 1.5 gal fixture 2.625 gal wasted/day
    Second bathroom lavatory 1.5 gal fixture 7.5 gal wasted/day
    Master Shower 2.5 gal fixture 15 gal wasted/day
    Second bathroom shower 2.5 gal fixture 2.625 gal wasted/day
    Kitchen Sink 2.5 gal fixture 12.5 gal wasted/day
    Water consumption is based on the system operating 350 days per year
    Total water wasted in a year is 14,087 gallons based on total water
    wasted of 40.25 gallons per day

    How a pump works
    SYSTEM CURVE
    Recirculation pump with ECM technology
    Standard Induction Motors
    ECM ( Electrically Commutated Motor) Technology
    Induction Vs Permanent Magnet
    Induction Motor Permanent Magnet Motor
    No magnet on rotor Permanent magnet on rotor
    Stator coils create magnetic Eliminates the requirement for input
    field which induces current
    into rotor power to magnetize rotor
    The rotor currents interact Stator coils generate a rotating field
    with the rotating magnetic to induce the permanent magnet to
    field which causes a rotate
    rotational motion on the
    rotor. Motor is microprocessor controlled

    Because the magnetic and to keep the stator current in phase


    electric fields are out of with the magnets of the rotor.
    phase (slip), there are
    greater current The lower current requirement

    requirements and current and no slip result in greater


    losses. efficiency.
    Comparison: Spherical Motor vs. Canned Motor

    Key Advantages

    Simplicity just one high precision part

    No shaft, no bearing bushings

    Self-aligning rotor

    Long term quiet and trouble free operation

    No start-up problems

    One Switch - Two Options
    Every ECM circulator has a switch installed- you
    have the choice
    A.Variable Speed Control
    B.Variable Temperature Control(68 to 158 Deg.F.)

    Options
    Most pumps come standard with constant speed.
    Power cords are sometimes optional.

    Temperature control.

    What if I dont have a return line?
    Autocirc 14 watts
    But I have a Tankless water heater
    Sizing a pump for Tankless water heaters is the
    same as a tank type. However, a larger pump
    will be needed as the Tankless units have a heat
    exchanger inside that produces a higher pressure
    drop.
