PROPORTIONAL PRESSURE CONTROL WITH
AUTOADAPT
Groundbreaking work by Grundfos led to the
discovery of proportional pressure control. In
pumps using this principle, the differential
pressure across the pump is automatically
adjusted to match the flow.
When the flow falls, so does the pressure
required, which results in a corresponding
reduced load on the motor − along with reduced
energy consumption.
Things get even better when you add the
AUTOADAPT function.
At start-up, the MAGNA operates with a lower
differential pressure than other comparable units
(shown by the AUTOADAPT factory setting line).
As the flow increases, the pump pressure follows
the line for the AUTOADAPT factory setting until
the pump operates on the maximum curve,
continuing downward until it reaches the
required flow.
When the flow is subsequently reduced, the
AUTOADAPT function ensures that the operating
profile doesn’t simply return to the original
curve − it actually sets a new, lower pump speed
(n=new) that results in even greater energy
savings!
COMFORT OR EFFICIENCY?
With MAGNA, you don’t have to choose. The
patented AUTOADAPT feature is unique to
Grundfos and is the crowning glory of MAGNA.
Call it the brains behind the pump’s operation:
it analyzes your heating system, learns what
works best for your application and changes the
settings accordingly.
AUTOADAPT works behind the scenes during all
stages of the pump’s life cycle. It gives you simple
and accurate specification, easy installation,
reliable operation, increased comfort, and
continued energy savings.
The AUTOADAPT function regularly adjusts the
proportional pressure and automatically sets
a more efficient performance curve whenever
possible. It never sacrifices comfort for efficiency,
and the balance is always right.
With AUTOADAPT, the MAGNA isn’t just smart, it’s
intelligent.
EVERYONE BENEFITS WITH AUTOADAPT
The AUTOADAPT function benefits everyone. It
> ensures that MAGNA pumps meet the
specifications of Consulting Engineers without
overperforming. Settings are adjusted to suit
demand but are still ready to provide necessary
flow during peak demand situations. Reduces
system stress, improving overall life cycle.
> requires no manual adjustment by Installers
in approximately 80% of installations. Works
perfectly the instant it’s switched on.
THE RIGHT BALANCE
