Grundfos circulation pumps provide energy efficiency for HVAC system in a chalet in the Austrian Alps

Panorama Tenne is a 220-person ski bar in the Waidring-Steinplateau resort in Tyrol, Austria. The wooden building is accessed by a gondola lift, which, in good weather, reveals the indescribable beauty of the Alps. "In such locations, the reliability of the heating system is crucial, as temperatures are low and access is very difficult. It is for this reason that Panorama Tenne, as well as a number of other buildings in the vicinity, rely on Grundfos pumps," Grundfos told BalkanEngineer.com

The conditions in high-altitude dwellings and facilities determine specific requirements for heating systems – first of all, of course, this is reliability, and immediately after it comes energy efficiency, since heating requires huge resources. Panorama Tenne's underground service room is equipped with a gas boiler and a hot water tank, as well as Grundfos Alpha 2, Alpha 3, MAGNA3 and UPS circulation pumps. These units circulate heat for underfloor heating, radiators and domestic hot water. "As a new building, the hut is designed to provide the lowest possible energy consumption with the latest Grundfos pumping technologies," Grundfos Bulgaria said.

And here are the details of the installed models:

Alpha 2 – a circulation pump designed for HVAC systems. Thanks to the AutoAdapt function, it continuously adapts its operation to system requirements, thus ensuring optimal comfort, low energy consumption and easy commissioning. The Alpha Reader function, in turn, provides easy hydraulic balancing of radiator systems and underfloor heating.

Alpha 2 specifications:

Flood temperature: 2 °C to 110 °C;
Max. flow rate: 4 m³/h
Max. head: 8 m;
Max. pressure: 10 bar.

Alpha 3 – a circulation pump fully controlled with the Grundfos GO Remote app, allowing setup, control and monitoring remotely, as well as easy hydraulic balancing. It also has the AutoAdapt function.
