Booster pumps are designed forwater, sewage and heating systems of optimum pressure. They are essential elements of these communications. Residents of country houses and cottages equipped with autonomous systems without pumps that increase pressure, can not do. But in urban flats - in the old housing stock and in new buildings - often the pressure in the pipes is not sufficient for the normal operation of household appliances, the supply of hot water to the heating communications of the upper floors or the pumping of waste in the sewage outlets.
Modern booster pumps consist of twothe main parts: the base and the head. The basic elements are united by intermediate chambers and a casing of the cylindrical form and are fastened by tightening bolts. The base is completed with a pressure and suction nozzles. The shaft is equipped with an end seal. As a rule, all structural elements are made of high-strength materials, which have anti-corrosive properties (ceramics, cast iron, stainless steel, brass). The boost pumps are equipped with a so-called "wet rotor", which can function in direct contact with the liquid, thus they perform an additional function - cooling of friction parts.
Booster pumps used in everyday life arequite compact devices for pumping liquids, which are installed directly on the pipe. Almost all specialists characterize them as the most convenient and practical device for quality water supply to buildings and coolant into the pipe. Even small pumps to raise the pressure in the systems are able to provide the optimum water supply, which can optimize the operation of modern high-powered household appliances. These devices are able to work with liquids at temperatures from -15 to +100 degrees, but according to SNiPam they can be operated at a temperature not exceeding +40.
The boost pump can be equipped with a manualor automatic control. The first are connected and disconnected at the request of the owner. Automatic - begin to function only when the source of water intake is available. This characteristic causes their use in autonomous systems for saving water and electric energy. When selecting a pump, the following parameters should be considered: power, noise level, capacity and maximum possible head. These devices can be universal use and strictly specialized: boosting pumps for water, borehole, circulating, circulating hot water, fecal, drainage and stations.
Advantages of modern boost pumps: ability to work in a wide range of temperatures, when working in manual mode, economically consume electricity, the presence of a "rest sensor" in automatic devices, low noise level, small dimensions, easy installation and operation, the ability to constantly maintain pressure in the systems.
