Controlling interest: Stuart Cooper, Solfex Energy Systems, discusses the importance of the correct selection and parameter set up on controls
Stuart Cooper, Solfex Energy Systems, reports on the importance of the correct selection and parameter set up of controls within solar thermal and heating systems, including the features and benefits of the Prozeda Primos, Grandis HK, Conexio 600 & Convisio controls and software
Bright idea: The Primos 250 Controller
The Prozeda Primos 600 solar thermal controller has 6 x temperature inputs ( PT 1000 sensor ), 4 x 230V outputs & 2 x additional low voltage outputs with Pulsed Width Modulation (PWM) to control high efficiency pumps. It also has a connection for Vortex Flow Sensor for yield measurement. This controller is predominantly for solar thermal applications with various hydraulic layouts including systems with two collector fields or two stores. It can also be used to control various back up energy sources and to operate diverting valves within the hydraulic circuit. For simpler solar applications with one collector field, the Primos 250 will suffice and still has the ability to data log and web view system information as standard, this control also can control HE pumps and has a relay output to control another heat source.
