Easy-To-Operate Calgon Booster System

Calgon Variable Speed Booster Set is an advanced water supply pumping equipment which consists two or
more centrifugal pumps assembled in parallel and mounted on a common base frame. Calgon ready-to-
install system is designed to address the pressure needs of commercial and domestic water supply system.
The variable speed control function utilizing one or more frequency inverters to enable the pump system to
maintain a constant set pressure under varied water demand condition. The control system is equipped with
standard protective device on motor over-current and water shortage condition. Upon request, wireless
(GSM/GPRS) pump monitoring and reporting system can be incorporated to meet the specific requirement.

Operating Conditions

Liquid temperature : 0°C to 75°C

Ambient temperature : 0°C to 40°C

The selection of pressure transmitter range is dependent on desired

system pressure for any specific pumping application.

Construction

• The Calgon variable speed system which consists of 2 or more centrifugal pump is built on a common
base frame.

• The control panel is fixed to the base frame with a mild steel support. For bigger kW motor, the control
panel can be supplied as separate entity.

• The control unit is fitted with frequency inverter(s), contactors, ventilation fan, pressure transmitter and
other necessary components as standard supply. Hydrologic pump controller is available upon
request.

• Suction and discharge manifold is mounted on both side of the pumps complete with isolating valves.
Non-return valve is installed on either the suction or discharge side of the pump subject to suction
condition.

• The manifold material and the type of valves used can be selected to suit client’s requirement.
