Prozeda controller range
Bright idea: The Primos 250 Controller
The Prozeda Primos 600 solar thermal controller has 6 x temperature inputs ( PT 1000 sensor ), 4 x 230V outputs & 2 x additional low voltage outputs with Pulsed Width Modulation (PWM) to control high efficiency pumps. It also has a connection for Vortex Flow Sensor for yield measurement. This controller is predominantly for solar thermal applications with various hydraulic layouts including systems with two collector fields or two stores. It can also be used to control various back up energy sources and to operate diverting valves within the hydraulic circuit. For simpler solar applications with one collector field, the Primos 250 will suffice and still has the ability to data log and web view system information as standard, this control also can control HE pumps and has a relay output to control another heat source.

Q: Who is your hero in renewable energy?
“I’d nominate Vincent Kirkman, my former tutor at BoltonCollege. I was an apprentice there between 1998 and 2002 and I learned a huge amount from Vinnie.
