Revolution 2 Red Dragons

[invincible569]

Pretty interesting! Quote from Klaus from other forum:

Next year, we are switched the Red Dragon Pumps to new Pumps, Red Dragon >2< Revolution... you want see pictures of development of the new pump with maximum 10.000 gallons and energy-consuption under 400 watt ?

best regards... Klaus

To think my rd12s are obsolete....LOL

[OUinLA]

10,000 gph is some serious flow.

[Detritivore]

he's got pics too, just hasnt posted them yet.

[invincible569]

All you would need is one pump and many outlets! I wonder how big the inlet/outlets are? This pump would definitely be a good investment if it works as advertised.

[Detritivore]

i wonder what the price tag will be...

@ invincible569...

exclusiv in zeovit.com, worldwide the first pictures of my new development....

thats correct... Royal-Exclusiv make a development of new diving DC Motors. This new pumps is only for very large tanks and for ponds..... Starting the first motors in stainless steel and next year, we building this motors in plastic and titanium for saltwater....

The best of the DC-technology is the lowest energy-consuption. We testing this weekend the first motor with controller and inverter. Look the pictures..... the motor is diving in a 300 Liter ( 78 gallons) sweetwater-tank.. we switched the motor on, and........ look the pictures...

1.... motor standing still in tank...



2.... the conroller, stepper and inverter in 2 lenguages...



3.... starting with 924 rpm...... ca. 8000 Liter ( 2.200 gallons )



4.... energy-consuption by 8.000 Liter/2.200 gallons = 64 watts



5.... little Water movement into the tank...

[Klaus Jansen]

6.... adjustable the speed up to 1.400 rpm....



7.... energy-consuption 123 watt, 14.000 Liter / 3.700 gallons movemant..



8.... stronger movement in the tank.....



9.... switched to maximum speed .... uper 3.300 rpm....



10.... maximum energy-consuption under 400 Watt. We based the pump on our pump test stand. Maximum water outlet is upper 10.000 gallons and the hoisting depth amounted to over 15 meters... (i dont now, how many uS-feet )...



and here.... the strong Pump..the centrifugal pump was hardly to be held... very danger test for my fingers....

11.... rpm 3.000 ....



12.... rpm 3.333 rpm....

OH MY!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS AWESOME!!! Put me on the waiting list!

If you took the pump out in the open (no water), it would shut off automatically?

[Detritivore]

shoot...thats crazy!!! good job klaus!

thanks for the pictures!

[Klaus Jansen]

we will make the development further, until the pump is series ripe. It will have a maximum output of 35.000 litres = 10,000 Gallons.....

I think, this is 30-40 % the ernergy-cost of standart Pond-pumps or centrifugal-pumps... A 10.000 gallons Pumps by 15 Meter maximumhigh in industrialstandart have a energy-consuption upper 1000 Watt. A DC motor have under 400 Watt. Over 600 Watts fewer Energy-consuption saves in Germany approx.. 800. - - 1.000.- Euro energycost in the year.

So i ask you....how much may this pump cost, which saves 50 -60 % electricity cost at year...

best regards from Germany....

( sorry for my bad english... we working with school-english and translation-software )

Yes...thats funny . waitlist ... ... you remember the wait-time for the fist Bubble-King to USA ??

and, yes, ...the pump go on standby... look the controller, the LED ... > dry run prodection< ....

This new technology change not the Red Dragon Pumps... This is a completed new DC-Motor-technology.... Red Dragon Pumps are the standart Pumps. DC motors is Highend-technology...

Hey Klaus, any idea when the 230v/50Hz pumps will be ready? Thanks

@ Majesticangelfish..
...official date is the next interzoo measures. Thus in May, beginning for the next pond season. First 100 pumps are built. Then we continue to see.. the first Beta-tester become the pumps in 1-2 months...

It all depends on the geographic area you are marketing too. You may get great sales from NY and Los Angeles (expensive electricity), but not people from Oregon (cheap electricity). You also have people from non U.S. countries that would like to save money in the long run. That is definitely an important factor, but what also helps is the consolidation of pumps/wiring. More pumps equals more heat, more holes to drill, etc.

One recommendation if you can do it.. can you have multiple pumps on one controller? Maybe 2 pumps max since you wont need that many pumps, but always good to have 2 for redundancy.
