Taco Introduces the Solar X-Pump Block®

Taco’s new Solar X-Pump Block combines a variable speed solar differential temperature control, bronze heat source and heat sink circulators, and a stainless steel flat plate heat exchanger into one compact package.  The variable speed controls are designed to match solar collector output, a feature that increases system performance by 20%.  With just four pipe connections, the installation is complete. 

The Solar SXPB can be set up to maintain a temperature differential between the solar collector(s) and up to two primary and optional auxiliary storage tanks.  The unit can support a booster pump as part of a drain-back system, comes with a heat dump option and freeze protection.  The Solar X-Pump Block’s large LCD screen conveniently displays the amount of thermal energy harvested by the collector.  The system also comes with three strap-on sensors. 

Taco’s new products work with any solar thermal application, whether drain-back, open loop, or closed loop.  The all-in-one design means each Taco product is pre-engineered, pre-plumbed, pre-wired and easy to install.
