Geo-Flo Products Corporation added the Hydro-Connect™ System to their product offering. Designed specifically for geothermal water-to-water or combination heat pumps and low mass boilers, Hydro-Connect is an engineered solution to simplify hydronic design by providing easy to understand integrated controls, outdoor temperature reset, warm weather shut down and zoning with a buffer tank.
The Hydro-Connect tank is a 50 US gallon 316L stainless steel tank, enclosed in a powder-coated 14 gauge galvanised steel cabinet, insulated with 2” closed cell polyurethane foam, allowing the tank to be applied for chilled water as well as hot water applications. Connections are 1-1/2” NPT for the load and source connections; additional connections are provided for drain valve, hydronic specialties and well-type temperature sensor. The tank capacity is designed for up to 10 tons, depending upon compressor stages. Geo-Flo’s Design Calculators provide buffer tank sizing.
Three control options are currently available: up to six zones heating only; up to six zones heating/cooling; and up to five zones radiant heating/one zone fan coil cooling. Each of the control options is available with either zone valves or circulator pumps for hydronic zoning. Standard features include outdoor temperature reset, warm weather shutdown, zone indicator lights and boiler backup. All models are available for order now with standard Geo-Flo lead times.
