18.9 Sizing the circulation pump
If the flow rate and pressure drop of the entire solar thermal system
are known, the pump can be selected on the basis of the pump
curve.
Viessmann supplies the Solar-Divicon and a separate solar pump
assembly to simplify the installation and the selection of pumps and
safety equipment. For construction and specification see chapter
"Installation accessories".
Note
The Solar-Divicon and the solar pump assembly are unsuitable for
direct contact with swimming pool water.
