DESCRIPTION

North Ridge Bespoke High Flow Booster Set

Flow Rate	Up to 140m³/hr
Head (Pressure)	Up to 160m
Drive Options	Electric Motor

Our bespoke cold-water booster sets increase and supply constant pressure for cold water installations where pressure provided by the mains supply or feed tank is insufficient. These sets can be fitted with up to six pumps and come complete with a variable speed control panel for full automation. Example installations include; domestic properties, commercial buildings, hotels, hostels, hospitals, agriculture, district heating, nursing homes, laboratories, leisure parks and marine vessels.

The pumps can be constructed from either stainless steel 304 or 316 and are fully WRAS approved. They can be supplied in either horizontal or vertical configuration, either option is compact. Our booster sets come complete with pumps, powder coated baseplate, manifolds, valves, fittings, gauges, inverter drives and pressure vessels. There is also the option for our booster sets to be fitted with a WRAS approved break tank of various sizes.

All control panels have MODBUS front of house protocol software with BACNET as an optional extra. As standard, our control panels are password protected, have soft start function for safety, anti-seize protection and the option for running the pumps in manual fixed speed mode.

The variable speed drive allows for full control of flow rate and pressure. It varies the motor speed depending on system requirements at any given time, while still maintaining a constant system pressure. By reducing or increasing the motor speed to match the system requirements, significant power and cost can be saved. This is since the pump only produces the required flow rate and pressure at that point in time, rather than constantly running at full capacity.

The pumps can be operated in duty, assist or standby modes, they are programmed to run in staged cascade mode as pressure and flow rate demands increase.

FAQS

What information is required to select the correct size booster set?

In order to select the correct sized cold-water booster set, we need a detailed description of the installation. Ideally, we would like you to tell us the exact flow rate and pressure required from the pumps. If you don’t know this, then we need to understand the water usage in the building. For example, the number of baths, showers, sinks, dishwashers, washing machines and toilets. The static head in the building, the power supply, available space for the pump set and number of pumps required, along with the flow and pressure will help determine the size of the set required.

What accessories and control features are available with your booster sets?

Our booster sets can be supplied with a wide range of accessories and manufactured bespoke for your needs. They can be fitted with up to 6 pumps, along with WRAS approved break tank, AB Air Gap, powder coated baseplate, metal frame, manifolds, valves, fittings, gauges, press control, inverter drives, pressures vessels and control panels.

What protection features are available with your booster sets?

Our inverter drives vary the speed and performance of the pumps and can also protect the pumps. They have dry run protection; this cuts out the pump in the event no fluid is entering the pump head. They also have over current protection and over temperature protection for the motors.

What does the term WRAS mean?

The Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) is a standard set of by the water regulations board in the United Kingdom. WRAS is a mark that shows that a component used with water in a public water supply complies with this standard.
