The central heating pump is undoubtedly one of the most important elements of the entire heating system. Creates a pressure difference. This allows water to circulate, heating the surface. The driver is undoubtedly worth attention. Today we will tell you which model to choose and you will also learn how it works.

How does the central heating pump controller work?
Central heating pump controllers are electronic devices that optimize the operation of the heating system by controlling the temperature in the central heating system. Thanks to them, you can significantly reduce heating costs. At the same time, the central heating pump controller protects the central heating pump against freezing. The principle of operation is very simple, which is due to the fact that the controller allows you to measure the temperature of the heating medium. It also allows the pump to start operating when the temperature drops below the set temperature.
The controller turns on the central heating pump, most often when the temperature reaches e.g. 40 degrees, the pump will operate, i.e. supply heat from the boiler to the heating circuit until the temperature in the boiler drops below the set threshold. The controller can cooperate with a blower fan for the feed boiler. The method of operation is also simple.
When the temperature reaches the limit set on the boiler, the blower turns off and the temperature drops. Then the controller turns on the fan again. Boilers with a feeder are still used in many homes. Drivers can also be used for this type of devices. In this case, it is possible to operate the gearmotor, i.e. the engine assembly with the gearbox. It drives the automatic fuel dosing mechanism.
What are the most important functions of the central heating pump controller?
To improve the operation of the entire central heating installation, it is worth using a pump controller which ensures even better operation, but also protects the pump. It is worth choosing devices that have a temperature sensor that controls the temperature in the heating furnace . In this case, after collecting the data, the controller automatically manages the operation of the pump. Thanks to this, it will not turn on unnecessarily, and therefore it will not wear out faster. We also cannot forget about other functions. These include:
- function of starting and stopping the pump in a set temperature range;
- pump protection function against freezing;
- pump protection function against stagnation;
By using controllers, you can reduce heating costs, often by 20%. Additionally, you gain even more convenient heating control. The use of controllers also extends the life of heating system components. The efficiency of the boiler itself also increases.
Controllers for central heating pumps in the Onninen wholesaler
In the offer of the Onninen installation wholesaler , you can choose a high-quality controller for underfloor heating.
The AURATON Volan central heating pump controller deserves attention. It is intended for both manual and automatic activation of the circulation pump. It is compatible with a coal or gas boiler, but without a pump control system. It has a built-in processor that automatically starts the pump for 30 seconds every 2 weeks, preventing downtime. It is also worth noting that it has a guard function. The work is carried out using LED signaling. It has an increased relay life compared to its predecessor. It is also resistant to interference.
You can also choose a controller for the Salus PC11 central heating pump . It is an inexpensive device. It is intended to control the water circulation pump. It allows for energy savings of up to 60%. For greater work efficiency, it has an anti-stop and anti-freeze function. Perfect for small heating installations. The power consumption is only 2 W. As for the temperature control range, it is from 5 to 80 degrees Celsius. Thanks to the temperature sensor, it monitors the pump's switching on and off. Thanks to this, you don't have to worry that it will turn on unnecessarily.
An appropriate choice will also be the ENGO EPC11 central heating pump controller . It is designed to control the water pump in the central heating circuit. Turns on the pump effectively and quickly. This happens when the temperature exceeds the set value, and turns off the pump when the boiler cools down due to extinguishing. We must mention that the controller is really easy to install. It can be quickly configured.
