Grundfos MAGNA1 Circulator Pumps for Commercial HVAC, Hydronic Heating, Cooling, and Building Water Circulation
Grundfos MAGNA1 Circulator Pumps are high-efficiency variable-speed circulators designed for commercial HVAC, hydronic heating and cooling, and other building-service applications. Combining electronically controlled operation with a wet-rotor circulator design, MAGNA1 pumps provide a straightforward solution for systems where energy efficiency, quiet operation, simple commissioning, and dependable circulation are priorities.
The MAGNA1 is designed for circulating liquids in heating, air-conditioning, and cooling systems. It is particularly useful in variable-flow systems where adjusting the pump duty point to actual system requirements can reduce energy consumption.
A key advantage of the Grundfos MAGNA1 is its combination of variable-speed performance and simplified control. The circulator provides proportional-pressure, constant-pressure, and constant-curve or constant-speed operating modes, allowing pump performance to be matched to common hydronic system configurations without unnecessary control complexity.
For commercial buildings, MAGNA1 provides an efficient replacement option for older fixed-speed and three-speed circulators. The pump is designed for simple installation, low noise, long service life, and maintenance-free operation. Single-head models are also supplied with insulating shells for heating applications, helping support efficient system operation.
MAGNA1 single-head range with maximum flow up to 313 GPM, maximum head up to 59 feet, maximum system pressure up to 175 PSI, and liquid temperatures from 14°F to 230°F. This broad operating range makes MAGNA1 suitable for many commercial and institutional hydronic circulation applications.
