SICCE - Technology for Water Applications: SYNCRA SILENT Circulation Pumps

SICCE - Syncra Silent Circulation pump

At Sicce we know you care about the environment

For over decades, the industries’ best engineers have been working to make our pumps more efficient. Long before it was "popular", Sicce developed products that were environmentally friendly and consumer friendly. Our customers deserve the best value product they can purchase. In order for a product to meet that criteria, it must perform as expected, be reliable, save money in electrical consumption, and be environment friendly. Sicce is continuously investing in research and development every year to continue to develop not only new products, but to push the Power Factor and performance of our existing products.

Syncra Pumps not only are low in wattage they have power factors close to 1 and that translates into pumps that can pay for themselves compared to other choices on the market.

Touch the pumps less heat is one indication of a higher power factor. Less heat means less money for operation and more "Green".

Learn Why we say our “synchronous motor technology” SMT pays for itself. A true understanding of what Pumps cost to operate.

What is Power Factor?

Power Factor is a measure of how efficiently electrical power is consumed. In the ideal world Power Factor would be unity (or 1 like a standard light bulb). Unfortunately, in the real world Power Factor is reduced by highly inductive loads to 0.56 or less. This induction is caused by equipment such as lightly loaded electric motors, water pumps, compressors, transformers and fluorescent lighting ballasts etc.

What does it do to my electricity bill?

Already many states, basically all of Europe identify this as a charge on your electric bill for. The truth is everyone pays it because it costs the electric company money and it is passed on to you by up charges on your price per kilowatt.

kW consumed is (VOLTS x AMPS x 1.73 x Power Factor) / 1000. The Electricity Company supply you VOLTS x AMPS and they have to supply extra to make up for the loss caused by poor Power Factor. When the power factor falls below a set figure, the electricity supply companies charge a premium on the kW being consumed, or, charge for the whole supply as kVA.

How do Sicce pumps compare to other similar pumps that claim similar wattage on the box?

Our computer test have shown other pumps with Power Factors as low as 0.56 compared to our equal (comparable litres per hour) with a power factor of 0.92 . Our larger pump models can achieve power factors even closer to 1. This saves a consumer 100's of euros a year and gives us the most Green pumps in each category.
