Applications
Product data

ALPHA1 is designed for circulating liquids in heating

systems. Pumps with stainless-steel pump housing
can also be used in domestic hot-water systems.
ALPHA1 is suitable for systems with constant or
variable flows where it is desirable to optimise the
pump duty point. You can select the appropriate pump

type for a heating system according to the following
guidelines:

in heating systems.
ALPHA1 is especially suitable for the following:
• Installation in existing systems where the differential
pressure of the pump is too high during periods of

reduced flow demand.
• Installation in new systems for fully automatic
adjustment of the performance to flow demands
without the use of bypass valves or similar
expensive components.

2. Construction Sectional drawing

Construction
ALPHA1 is designed for long and trouble-free
operation as a canned-rotor type, i.e. the pump and 1 9 11a 11 12a 12
motor form an integral unit without shaft seal, with only 19
one gasket for sealing. The bearings are lubricated by
the pumped liquid. These constructions ensure 18
maintenance-free operation.
The pump is characterised by the following:
• Permanent-magnet rotor and compact-stator motor
which contributes to high efficiency and high starting
torque. 16

• Ceramic shaft and radial bearings which contribute

to long life.
• Carbon thrust bearing which contributes to long life. 13

• Stainless-steel rotor can, bearing plate and rotor
cladding which contribute to corrosion-free long life.

Motor and control box

Construction

The motor is a 4-pole synchronous permanent-magnet

motor.
The pump controller is incorporated in the control box,
which is fitted to the stator housing and connected to
the stator via a terminal plug.
The control box has an integrated operating panel with
a push-button and a 2-digit 7-segment display. See fig.
8.
