Wilo’s new Wilo-Stratos GIGA, just launched in the UK, is said to be the first high efficiency glanded pump – and is targeted specifically at the building services and industry sectors.
The company said: “It’s an ideal option for consideration by the healthcare sector, offering cost and maintenance savings over a 15-year lifecycle.”
The Wilo-Stratos GIGA is said to offers building designers, specifiers, and architects, the chance to easily optimise the energy costs and environmental balance of a building or industrial complex. Wilo added: “With its hydraulic output and specification, it is ideal for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings – in essence, any new building where energy consumption and emissions need to be reduced, and any existing one where the current pumps are ageing or uncontrolled.”
Due to a combination of ‘new hydraulics with a new highly efficient drive concept’ (HED – High Efficiency Drive), Wilo says the Wilo-Stratos GIGA offers ‘major energy-saving benefits’. The company explained: “Specifying the GIGA for your projects will result in a saving of emissions amounting to approximately 8,000 kg CO2 per year, plus savings of up to £70,000 in electricity costs per pump installed over a 15-year lifecycle, compared with conventional uncontrolled pumps (based on the Blue Angel load profile). The new GIGA has a typical payback period of less than two years, which highlights the benefits and value of installing high efficiency Wilo pumps.”
Thanks to the ‘proven red-button technology’, and an easy-to-monitor display, the pump ‘guarantees user-friendly operation’. Optionally available IF-Modules enable different interfaces for Bus communication to be utilised – including PLR, LON, Modbus, BACNet, and CAN.
