10 FLOW THINKING Alication descrition DIMENSIONING FUNCTION The water suly to a building have to be reliable and comfortable. To fulfil this requirement a ressure boosting system is very recommendable. A comlete ressure boosting system will automatically comensate for the variations in the re ressure from the water and the variations in consumtion and by varying erformance ensure that the suly ressure to the building is constant. We recommend the seed controlled Hydro 2000 ME ressure boosting systems, which can give a constant ressure to the building and at the same time ensures otimum oeration costs and suly security. If system cost is very imortant, the lower cost systems Hydro 1000 can be selected. If standby um caacity is not required, the Hydro Solo-E solution can be recommended.

11 Alication descrition DIMENSIONING DIMENSIONING Use the Consumtion Profile as the basis for selecting the otimum system. The number of ums and the size of these shall fit to rofile. Use the Grundfos um selection tool WinCAPS for selection of the right system. TANK DIMENSIONING Hydro 1000 and Hydro 2000 MS systems are oerating as on/off systems without any seed control. Therefore these systems always requires a ressure tank on the discharge side of the booster. For other systems like Hydro 2000 ME, Hydro 2000 MF and Hydro Multi-E a ressure tank is recommended if the flow can go down to, or close to zero. In these cases a small diahragm tank will give the system a much better erformance. The dimensioning of the tank can be seen from the table. The tank volume is in litre and is deending of the size of the ums going into the booster. If the booster as an examle is a Hydro 2000 ME 3xCRE8-60, the nominal flow of one of the ums are 8 m 3 /h resulting in a 24 litre tank. Hydro Solo-E and Hydro Multi-E are delivered with a tank as standard. INSTALLATION Grundfos ressure boosting systems are easy to install. Connect the unit to suly and the iing, rime the system and we are ready to go. It is recommendable to install a water shortage detection on the suction side the booster. By direct boosting systems a ressure switch can be used in case of a break tank system, a level switch in the tank will be the best solution.

12 FLOW THINKING How to select PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM Quick guide for selecting ressure boosting system Ste 1: Define the maximum flow requirement ex. 27 m 3 /h Ste 2: Define the consumtion rofile Ste 3: Define the system layout ex. direct boosting from, system slit in zones Ste 4: Define the required ressure ex bar Ste 5: Find the exact ressure boosting system ex. Hydro xCRE8-100 Ste 6: Consider accessories ex. Diahragm tank STEP 1: DEFINE THE MAXIMUM FLOW REQUIREMENT The required total consumtion and maximum flow requirement deends on the alication in question. There is a big difference in the requirement from e.g. a ressure boosting system in a block of flats comared to a system in a hotel. The table below shows an examle of dimensioning values, according to Danish Standards. Consu- Unit Q year Consum.

13 How to select PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM STEP 1: DEFINE THE MAXIMUM FLOW REQUIREMENT, CONTINUED Examle: Hotel with 540 beds. Number of beds: n Total annual consumtion: Q year x n Consumtion eriod: d Average consumtion er day: (Q year x n)/d Year maximum consumtion: Q(m) day = fd x Q day Maximum flow requirement: Q(max) = ft x Q(m) day /24 Or use the quick sizing chart below. Calculation: n = 540 beds Q year x n = 180 x 540 = m 3 /year d = 365 days/year => (Q year x n)/d = / 365 = m 3 /day fd x Q day = 1.5 x = m 3 /day Q(max) = ft x Q(m) day /24 = 1.5 x 399.4/24 = 66.6 m 3 /h Q [m³/h] Hotel School 20 Office Flats Residential home

14 FLOW THINKING How to select PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM STEP 2: DEFINE THE CONSUMPTION PROFILE The consumtion rofile is the information about the change in flow during one day or season. In a hotel the water demand will fluctuate a lot during the day. In the morning, where most of the guest are taking a shower and all the service facilities, such as cleaning, cocking and washing starts u, we will have the highest demand for water suly during the day. Also about dinner time we will see a eak in the demand. A tyical consumtion file for the hotel examle above, looks like this: Flow m 3 /h Consumtion rofile Time The consumtion rofile is imorted information in the selection rocess as the rofile has a high influence of the choice of booster system tye and the number of ums which the system consists of. See ste 5. Based on the consumtion rofile a Load Profile can be made. From this we can see how many hours er day a certain flow is required. Flow m 3 /h Load Profile Hours er day 112

15 How to select PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM STEP 3: DEFINE THE SYSTEM LAYOUT The system layout have to be considered before the booster system can be selected. Direct Boosting Direct boosting or break tank The connection to the water suly can either be directly or via a break tank. If direct connection is allowed this will be recommendable. The ressure requirement to a ressure boosting system with direct connection will be be less than systems with break tank, as the system then can use the water suly ressure as a re-ressure. Deending of area the water suly ressure tyically will be in the range bar. Booster system Break tank system To building Break tanks are often required in areas where: the iing in the are weak and can t stand ressure surges caused by ums starting and stoing. local requirements where sucking from the water isn t allowed Booster To building Roof tank systems In some areas roof tank systems are required. The reason is to ensure water suly for a certain eriod also if the elctrical ower suly disaears. Roof tank The transfer um can um from a break tank or direct from suly. suly (ressure) to the building is obtained by a Booster System, boosting down to the 3-4 uer floors. The rest of the building is sulied by gravity. Transfer um 113

16 FLOW THINKING How to select PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM STEP 3: DEFINE THE SYSTEM LAYOUT, CONTINUED Zones In high rise buildings is it necessary to slit the water suly system u in zones to ensure: that the ressure from one floor to an other doesn t vary too much. Min. ressure uer floor in each zone should not be lower than bar Max. ressure in lowest floor in each zone should not be higher than bar System layout can be with : 1. All booster systems in basement. Boosting u in the building (see figure). 2. Cascade booster system layout. One booster in the basement sulies all the water u to zone 1, where a second booster will boost u to zone 2, etc. 3. In combination with roof tank. A booster on the roof to are boosting down to the 3-4 uer floors. The rest of the building is sulied by gravity. Zone 3 Zone 2 Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Zone 1 114

17 How to select PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM STEP 4: DEFINE THE REQUIRED PRESSURE The required ressure set from the ressure boosting system can be calculated from the following formulas : ta (min) set = ta(min) + f + h max /10.2 ; boost = set in(min) set ta(min) f h max in(min) boost : the required outlet ressure from the booster : the required min ressure at the highest taing oint in the zone : the total ie friction loos in the iing from booster to zone : the height from the booster outlet to the highest taing oint : the minimum inlet ressure to the booster : the required boost from the ressure boosting system in (min) boost set f h max Examle : ta(min) f h max in(min) set boost = 2 bar = 1.2 bar = 41.5 m = 2 bar = /10.2 = 7.3 bar = = 5.3 bar If the water suly system consists of more zones the calculation have to be done for each zone. 115

18 FLOW THINKING How to select PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM STEP 5: FIND THE EXACT PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM Why choose a ressure boosting system? There are three main reasons why a customer should choose a booster system instead of just a single um in his installation: 1. One um is not sufficient to cover the flow demand. 2. Reserve um caacity is required. 3. Better adatability to variations in consumtion. Which tye of booster system is referable? Grundfos offers five different main variants within the Hydro 2000 roduct family. The different systems and there main features can be seen from the below table. For most alications we will recommend the seed controlled solution based on the Grundfos CREums. ME system All ums are CRE-ums Constant ressure. Seed control available also if one um fails. MEH Z system Two ums are CRE-ums. Remaining ums are fixed seed CR-ums. Constant ressure. If one CRE-um fails the ressure control is limited. MES system One CRE-um. Remaining ums are fixed seed CR-ums. Constant ressure. If the CRE-um fails, the ressure control will be like a MS system. MF system All ums are CR-ums. One of these are seed controlled by a frequency converter. Constant ressure. If the frequency converter fails, the ressure control will be like a MS system MS system All ums fixed seed CR-ums. Pressure constant within a band. Requires a large diahragm tank. 116

19 How to select PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM STEP 5: FIND THE EXACT PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM, CONTINUED Using WinCAPS for selecting the right ressure boosting system. The um selection tool WinCAPS will be the erfect tool for finding the best solution to a booster alication. Give in the dimensioning values : Maximum flow required Required ressure Inlet ressure Load rofile and ask for dimensioning and WinCAPS will select a number of systems, sorted according to annual energy consumtion. Examle: Values described on the ervious ages are used as an dimensioning examle. 117
