Taco CI Series Pumps provide reliability and easy installation for heating, air conditioning, pressure boosting, cooling water transfer and water supply applications. CI Pumps also feature flush seal line taps, allowing the installation of a filter to protect the seal from non- condensable particles present in open systems. In addition, pressure tappings on suction and discharge connections are provided as a standard feature. Taco CI Series of pumps are quiet dependable and are now available with SelfSensing Series with Pro-Balance.

The SelfSensing Series also features automatic alerts with optional shutdown for no-flow, dry-run, and end of-curve operation. That means the seal is safe should someone forget to open a valve or to run the pump without water. The unit is electronically protected for overload and locked rotor conditions, so the motor is protected – a real crowd pleaser for insurance companies.

CI Series Pumps meet the latest standards for hydraulic performance and dimensional characteristics. Each is backed by Taco, Inc., a worldwide leader in heating and cooling equipment for more than eight decades. An easy-to-replace, slip-on shaft sleeve facilitates seal maintenance in the field and lowers maintenance costs. The exclusive dry shaft design protects the pump shaft by eliminating contact between the shafts and circulating fluid. Corrosion-resistant shaft materials are generally not required.

The benefit of Dry Shaft Design

Taco CI Pumps are ideally suited for a variety of applications. You can choose these Pumps according to your requirement.

Following mentioned is the Commercial Hydronic Application Information about the CI Series:

A centrifugal pump operated at constant speed delivers any capacity from zero to maximum depending on the head, design and suction conditions. Pump performance is most commonly shown by means of plotted curves which are graphical representations of a pump’s performance characteristics. For a single family residential application, considerations other than flow and head are of relatively little economic or functional importance, since the total load is small and the equipment used is relatively standardized.

For larger and more complex buildings and systems, economic and functional considerations are more critical, and performance curves must relate the hydraulic efficiency, the power required, the shaft speed, and the net positive suction head required in addition to the flow and pressure produced.

The System Curve Understanding a system curve, sometimes called a system head curve, is important because conditions in larger, more complex piping systems vary as a result of either controllable or uncontrollable changes. A pump can operate at any point of rating on its performance curve, depending on the actual total head of a particular system. Partially closing a valve in the pump discharge or changing the size or length of pipes are changes in system conditions that will alter the shape of a system curve and, in turn, affect pump flow. Each pump model has a definite capacity curve for a given impeller diameter and speed. Developing a system curve provides the means to determine at what point on that curve a pump will operate when used in a particular piping system

Pipes, valves and fittings create resistance to flow or friction head. Developing the data to plot a system curve for a closed Hydronic system under pressure requires calculation of the total of these friction head losses. Friction tables are readily available that provide friction loss data for pipe, valves and fittings. These tables usually express the losses in terms of the equivalent length of straight pipe of the same size as the valve or fitting.
