In a hydronic heating system, the Circulation Pump is the mechanical "heart" that moves heated water from the boiler or heat pump to the heat emitters (radiators, underfloor heating coils, or AHU heating coils). Unlike domestic water pumps that move water to a tap, these pumps operate in a closed loop, overcoming the friction of the pipes to ensure every zone in a building receives consistent warmth. EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd provides specialized technical services to ensure these systems are silent, leak-free, and highly energy-efficient.
While Malaysia is a tropical climate, hydronic heating remains critical for specific high-demand applications:
Hotel Hot Water Systems: Ensuring consistent temperatures for guest showers and laundry facilities.
Industrial Process Heating: Moving hot water for sterilization, food processing, or chemical manufacturing.
Health & Wellness Facilities: Managing water temperatures for heated pools, spas, and therapeutic baths.
Specialized HVAC Units: Providing "Reheat" functionality in AHUs for precise humidity control in data centers or hospitals.
Heating pumps face constant thermal expansion. We utilize EPDM or Viton seals that are specifically rated for high-temperature service, preventing the "weeping" leaks that can damage pump shafts and motors.
Wet Rotor: Ideal for residential or quiet zones; the water lubricates the bearings.
Dry Rotor: Designed for high-volume industrial use, featuring a separate motor and pump head for easier maintenance.
Air bubbles in a heating loop cause "gurgling" noises and significantly reduce heat transfer. We install and service Automatic Air Vents (AAVs) to keep your system air-free and silent.
| Symptom | Potential Cause | EKG Technical Fix |
| "Gurgling" Noise in Pipes | Air trapped in the loop | System purging and air vent service |
| Radiators/Coils are Cold | Seized impeller or air-lock | Pump overhaul or hydraulic balancing |
| Pump is Hot to Touch | Bearing friction or dry running | Bearing replacement and flow verification |
| Leaking at Flanges | Gasket failure due to heat | High-temp gasket replacement and alignment |
Traditional heating pumps run at a single speed, wasting massive amounts of energy. We specialize in retrofitting old pumps with ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) technology.
Proportional Pressure Control: The pump senses when zone valves close and automatically slows down.
Energy Savings: Can reduce pumping electricity costs by up to 80%.
Soft Start: Eliminates "water hammer" and protects your plumbing infrastructure.
Specialized Thermal Expertise: We understand the unique challenges of high-temperature water circulation and thermal expansion.
ISO-Certified Quality: Every repair and installation meets international engineering standards for pressurized systems.
Integrated MEP Approach: We manage the mechanical pump, the electrical controls (VFDs), and the plumbing integrity as one system.
A noisy or inefficient heating pump can lead to high fuel costs and inconsistent performance. Trust EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd for technical, reliable, and energy-efficient hydronic heating pump services. Our expert team is ready to ensure your thermal systems are powerful and silent.
