What Is a Hot Water Pump?
A hot water pump is a mechanical device that circulates hot water to maintain a consistent temperature, thereby optimizing energy efficiency. Common types include centrifugal and axial flow pumps, typically designed to withstand temperatures up to around 120 degrees Celsius.
These pumps are integral in forced circulation systems for heating applications like radiators and underfloor heating. Known formally as “hot water circulation pumps,” they help maintain steady indoor temperatures. Smaller-scale models are also available for domestic use.
Hot water pumps not only sustain uniform pipe temperatures but also provide immediate hot water access at faucets, reducing water wastage during the wait for temperature changes.
