HYDRO MULTI-B
– Pressure boosting made simple
NAMREG - Objective of Multi-B system
• Fill the gap where Hydro MPC is too large, too complicated and too expensive in
markets for constant pressure booster systems.
• Compliment the current Grundfos Booster Program
• Differentiate with BoosterpaQ Hydro MPC systems
• Advance E-solutions benefits to customers
• Open up sales to other channels
• Increase overall Grundfos booster system sales
• Competitively Priced Booster System offering (60-70% of comparable BoosterpaQ
system)

• Max Working pressure – 232 psi
Applications for Hydro Multi B pump systems
• Domestic water pressure boosting
• Pressure boosting in multistory buildings
• Apartment Buildings
• Small Hospitals
• Hotels
• Large homes
• Rural areas requiring pressure boosting
• Anywhere redundant pumping is required
SIMPLE TO USE!
Extremely simple HMI! (CU323 controller)
Same platform as CU352 controller
Automatically ensures best operation in all situations:
•
Number pumps in operation
•
Energy optimized cascade control
No need for highly specialized people to operate the system.
Less risk for improper use.
Compact!
=> Easier to retrofit into existing building.
=> Easier to retrofit existing end suction pumps
Speed controlled Pumps
The Multi-B is equipped with speed controlled pumps, which
enables the system adapt perfectly to the demand of the
system.
Operates at a constant pressure
Quiet Operation
Benefits include:
•
Energy savings.
•
Less wear of pipes due to less risk of water hammer or surges.
•
Smaller diaphragm tank needed
•
High comfort for users due to constant pressure and quite operation.
Integrated VFD – MLE
The CME Pump is equipped with integrated
VFD/motor combination – MLE
•
The motor and VFD are perfectly matched.
•
Quite operation
Some MLE motors use permanent magnet motors
•
1x230V – up to 2HP
•
3x460V – up to 3HP
MLE motors using permanent magnet motors have
combined efficiency (motor + VFD) greater than
NEMA Premium Efficient motors alone.
Energy effective
The Multi-B has several features that makes it energy efficient.
•
VFD operation ensures that the system delivers exactly what is
needed and nothing more.
•
Automatic cascade that makes sure that the optimum number of
pumps are running at all time.
•
Special software that ensures low energy consumption during low
flow.
=> Save electricity
=> Less carbon emission.
One supplier!
• Grundfos designs, manufactures and assembles all
major components of the system.

System components – Manifolds
Controller (CU323)
• Single Source Responsibility!
• System undergoes complete system test before leaving
the Factory.
Safety Features
The Multi-B monitors several parameters to ensure that the system is run in a safe way.
• Water shortage protection (3-5 psi pressure switch standard)
• Sensor fault protection
• Max. pressure exceed (Setpoint+22 psi) alarm
• High voltage, low voltage & loss of phase on input power
• Monitors if system is outside duty range
=> Protects system against costly breakdowns
Communication
• Capable to communicate through the most
common BUS protocols using CIM expansion
cards.
•

•
BACnet
LON
Modbus
GRM
• Can connect into BMS and gives the operator
full control of the system.
• Makes it possible to get alarms remotely,
ensuring fast respond to alarms.
Benefits of Grundfos manifolds
• Reduced pressure drop with smooth
transition
• No stagnant water areas in manifold
