PRESSURE BOOSTER SETS (THREE PUMPS)

\
3GP are EBARA booster units with three identical three-phase motor-driven pumps.

Specifications

The 3GP Ebara pressure booster sets, in standard versions,
can be used for residential, commercial, industrial and
agricultural applications, namely for: water lifting or
handling, cooling, heating, irrigation, washing systems.
The liquid carried can be: clean water, drinking water,
rainwater, well water, mixed water, provided it does not
contain solids or fibres in suspension and is free of aggressive
chemical substances. Units must be installed in a shelter
of some kind and protected from the elements and frost.
•Temperature of water carried in the range 0 to 50 °C
(depending on the kind of pumps installed).
• Ambient operating temperature in the range 0 to 40 °C
at an altitude of no more than 1,000 m above sea level.
• Relative humidity max. 50% at +40 °C.
NB: it is worth remembering that suction lift (installations
with liquid source lower than pump) decreases as altitude
and temperature increase. These characteristics, based on
the pump’s NPSH, must be allowed for when sizing the
system so as to avoid problems such as cavitation or
insufficient efficiency:
the NPSH available in the system must be greater than the
NPSH required of the pump. For applications with other
technical specifications, uses, climatic conditions (the kind
of liquid carried, marine environment, aggressive industrial
environment), ask our technical department for help.

Materials

Pressure booster sets come complete with:
motor-driven pumps - pressure gauge - pressure switches
- suction and discharge manifolds - isolating valves on
suction and discharge - nonreturn valve on suction - nipples
on suction with G1/2 ISO 228/1 connection for coupling
to air feed - various fittings - control panel - common base
plate - anti-vibration supports (latter not provided on all
sizes).
