The Difference between Booster Pump and Circulating Pump
May 11, 2021Booster pumps and circulating pumps have different performances as the name implies. They have their own characteristics for obvious differences in terms of installation location, scope of application, operation and control.
From the perspective of installation location, the booster pump is generally installed on the inlet pipe; the circulating pump needs to be installed on the return pipe.
From the point of view of the scope of application, booster pumps are generally used in central heating systems, where the water pressure is small due to the small drop with solar energy, and the water pressure of the water heater is small, and the pressure needs to be boosted; the circulating pump is mainly for self-heating users, or the heating system of large and medium-sized households circulates, and the floor heating hot water is circulated.
From the perspective of boosting strength, booster pumps mainly solve the problem of lower water pressure, which is a type of pump with lower pressure; and the circulating pump has a higher pressure than the booster pump, which can drive the circulation of the entire heating system.
From the perspective of product operation, the booster pump is mostly automatically controlled; the circulating pump is mostly manually controlled.
