Booster Sets
Booster sets are designed to transfer and increase the pressure of water.
Applications:
- Hospitals
- Schools
- Public Buildings
- Industries
- Hotels
- Condominiums
- Sports Facilities
- Mains Water Systems
These booster sets are pumping stations assembled with from two up to a maximum of six vertical multistage pumps. The pumps are connected to one another by suction and delivery pipes, and fixed onto a single base. The pumps are connected to the manifolds by means of stop valves and check valves. An electric protection and control panel is installed using a bracket on the base of the set. In the case of particularly large electric panels, they are installed on the floor.
Sensors are as a standard to control pressure. For each booster set there are two transducers (one standby) where, in the event of breakdown of the first, control automatically passes to the second. The control board allows the use of other control devices such as flow, temperature or level transducers, according to the needs of the system. It is possible to set the measuring unit directly from the control board menu.
With the control board it is possible to set up to six set-points with different values, as well as the original set-point. In this way the booster set can be used for systems with a large extension and different levels. For example, different set-points can be used for an irrigation system on a hillside, or one set-point value can be used for domestic water supply during the day and a second set-point for irrigation at night. The set-points may be changed by means of a timetable, set via the clock inside the control board or with an external consent (external device).
The protection function against dry running intervenes if the water reserve to which the booster set is connected falls below the minimum level guaranteed for suction. The level may be controlled by a float, level probes or minimum pressure switch. It is also possible to manage the function directly by inputting a minimum pressure value in the control board menu, which will receive a signal from the pressure transducer.
