TacoTherm Fresh 160 - The connection-ready fresh water station for the fast and efficient supply of up to 160 l/min fresh hot water in large systems.

• The energy required for preparing the hot water is taken from the heat storage unit of the heating system and is fed through a plate heat exchanger as required
• The freely selectable dispensing temperature is controlled by means of the variable volume flow on the primary side
• The pumps are controlled by means of the controller integrated in the stations

TacoSol Load 240 - the connection-ready solar station and loading module for the efficient transfer of solar heat from the collector to the thermal storage unit, up to 240 kW.

• The solar energy is transferred to the storage unit(s) by means of a highly efficient stainless steel plate heat exchanger
• The preset, user-friendly controller uses speed regulation to control the primary and secondary pump for the optimum temperature differences for loading the storage unit(s).
• The controller regulates the three-way switching valve to operate either storage inflow 1 or 2, thereby enabling optimum stratified loading in the storage system.
• Installation position: fully preassembled, connection-ready and designed for direct mounting on the wall. Only the storage and collector sensors still need to be fitted.

A total of 3,000 TacoSetter Inline units were installed for the air-conditioning systems of the Queen Mary II. These are used to regulate the flow through the cooling circuits precisely.

The Queen Mary II has over 1,500 passenger cabins and quarters for a crew of 750, spread over ten decks. Covering such an enormous area, the ship requires nine air-conditioned zones, which have been coordinated with the fire protection zones. These areas are supplied by five cooling units with a total output of 25 MW. Overall the Queen Mary II has 122 air-conditioning systems for the living quarters and 43 more for the technical areas.

The ventilation systems deliver about 1,800 tons of filtered cooled/heated fresh air per hour, ensuring a pleasant onboard atmosphere irrespective of the weather conditions outside, the time of day, the ship's course and speed, or changes to the thermal loading inside the vessel.

Precise hydronic balancing in the Paul Wunderlich Building

Built in Barnim in 2007, the service and management center covers a site measuring over one hectare right in the middle of the historic old town center of Eberswalde left empty in the aftermath of the war. As well as housing local government offices and the seat of the seat of the district administration, including a council chamber, the building also accommodates commercial premises and a small museum containing works by artist Paul Wunderlich.
In compliance with the architectural, urban development and usage-defined general conditions, the shape of the building, glazing, sun screening, facades and storage media were designed to ensure the greatest possible comfort for users with the lowest possible energy consumption. This involves both high-quality usage of the public spaces and a sophisticated natural and artificial light concept.
Heat is provided solely through thermal pumps, the source heat coming from the soil. The high groundwater level meant that the buildings foundations were built on piles. The piles contain pipelines that transport the ground heat in an upward direction.
Around 600 TacoSetter Inline units provide the precise hydronic balance throughout the building.

The approximately 130 meter tall high-rise building is located at the south-eastern tip of the Parkstadt Schwabing area, forming the so-called Gateway to Munich together with the opposite building.
About EUR 9 million of the total investment volume was poured into facility management technology. A conventional air-conditioning system was not installed. The sun and the cool of the night are actively used to control the temperature in the new high-rise. It is precisely these two areas – solar energy and the regulation of heating systems – that form the focus of the Taconova product range.
It was crucially important that special customer requirements were also met. Taconova offers you individual advice, development and planning, the production of high-quality products, prompt delivery and reliable service readiness, including the fastest possible delivery of replacement parts. Because of the client's requirements at the Münchner Tor site, it was necessary to act quickly to produce 2,450 NovaDrive DDC actuators that would meet specific demands. 

Buchs-based AMK-Solac Systems AG is a leader in vacuum tube collector technology. In July 2011, the company moved into its new home, which has a gross collecting area of 200 m2 on the roof. Ten TacoSetter Bypass solar balancing valves ensure a precise level of flow and thus help to increase the solar yield.

The operating conditions and hydraulic status of the collector circuits of thermal solar energy systems demand reliable regulating and safety components, such as the balancing valve from Taconova, which can resist high temperatures.

The measurement unit fitted as a bypass operates according to the floating principle and water is only passed through it when the orange bar is pressed to read and set the amount of flow. The measurement body can be removed under operating pressure by means of self-closing valves integrated in the fitting.

The regulating valves were installed directly next to the collector connections. The amount of flow is set directly on the valve scale. The TacoSetter Bypass Solar 185 is designed for use in solar energy systems and for a permanent temperature of 185 degrees Celsius.
