The Brain® Digital Mixing Centers Zone PHE

DMC Zone PHE is a fully Digital Mixing Center (DMC) specifically designed to be the primary water temperature controller in a domestic hot water zone with independent continuous recirculation reheat generated by a plate heat exchanger (PHE). The DMC features a digital recirculation valve (The Brain®).

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 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 complete pre-piped assembly inclusive of PHE, isolation valves, check valves, balancing valves, strainers, thermometers, and pressure gauges and is provided with five connection points for simplified installation.
