The Brain® Digital Mixing Center Zone PHE

The DMC Zone PHE is a Digital Mixing Center (DMC) designed to be the primary water temperature controller in a hot water zone in a domestic water heating system. DMC Zone PHE includes a plate heat exchange (PHE) to generate independent continuous recirculation reheat. The DMC features The Brain® Digital Recirculation Valve.

Engineered exclusively for continuously recirculated hot water systems, The Brain® improves system performance and safety by delivering a consistent pre-set temperature to the points of use.

Innovative digital technology resists “temperature creep” during periods of zero system demand, which eliminates the requirement for manual throttling valves, supplementary RTD, or a temperature-actuated switch to control the pump.

Energy efficient, low temperature loss systems can be implemented by the ability of The Brain® to operate with a system return differential of just 1°F below set point.

User safety and overall system health is maintained by a series of programmable temperature alerts, onboard operational self-diagnostics, and a thermal disinfection option.

The DMC is a pre-piped assembly with five connection points for simplified installation. DMC assemblies include isolation valves, check valves, and strainers. Complete DMC models (excluding DMC Flex) are also supplied with thermometers and pressure gauges.

SAGE® software monitors, records and documents data as a critical component of a Water Safety Management Plan. SAGE® works seamlessly with several building automation system protocols, or users can purchase a subscription to use SAGE® on a mobile device.
