Booster Project, Pump Selection and Domestic Water Calculations

We design booster groups, pump duty point, pressure control and necessary valve-equipment layout for pressurization of domestic and process water. We calculate and control the provision of sufficient flow rate and pressure at remote consumption points.

Account and System Design

Technical approach for Hydrophore and Pump Systems

The basis of booster selection is the requested system flow rate and the pressure requirement at the critical consumption point. Building height or pump label pressure alone are not sufficient data.

01 / PUMP & BOOSTER

Design flow rate

The required pump flow rate is determined by taking into account the usage profile, armature loads and simultaneity.

02 / PUMP & BOOSTER

Pressure calculation

Level difference, pipe friction, valve/armature losses and the required pressure at the end point are evaluated together.

03 / PUMP & BOOSTER

pump and control

Single/multi-pump layout, frequency-controlled operation, pressure sensor and appropriate expansion tank are designed.

04 / PUMP & BOOSTER

Suction and protection

Tank connection, cavitation risk, dry running protection, check valve and isolation valves are designed.

Engineering Process

Four stages from discovery to implementation project

After the project data and existing system conditions are determined, calculations, layout, equipment and field coordination are brought together in the same technical document.

01

Consumption scenario

Usage points, concurrency and warehouse/network conditions are determined.

02

Flow rate and pressure

System curve and booster duty range are calculated according to the critical point.

03

Pump configuration

Backup, automation, pressurization and connection equipment are selected.

04

Scheme and specification

Assembly diagram, instrumentation and equipment list are prepared.

Before Starting the Project

Information required for preliminary evaluation

Depending on the type of project, the following data may be shared:

  • Consumption points and fixture list
  • Farthest user elevation and pipe route
  • Tank water level, suction line and pump location
  • Target usage pressure and network data
  • Current booster curves and control type
Field and Operation

Things to consider in design

The maximum closed valve pressure of the booster should be compared with the allowed working pressure of the installation. In case of excessive pressure on the floors, pressure zones or reducers are also evaluated.

The regulations to be applied to the project, relevant TS/TS EN standards, equipment manufacturer requirements and employer technical specifications are evaluated together. Design assumptions are verified against the actual conditions of the facility.

Frequently Asked Technical Question

Is only 7 bar pump information sufficient for the hydrophore?

No. Flow-pressure duty point, pump curve, suction conditions and min/max pressures of the system should be determined together.

Detailed Technical Coverage

Hydrophore and Domestic Water Pump Groups

When choosing the right pump system, not only the operating pressure but also the required flow rate and critical line loss at the farthest user are taken into account.

01 / SUBSYSTEM

Booster flow rate and simultaneity

Fixture and process consumption lists, peak usage hours, concurrency and future capacity increase are converted to design flow rate.

02 / SUBSYSTEM

Pressure-zone analysis

The desired net pressure at the farthest or highest elevation usage point is converted to the total pump duty point with pipe/armature losses and elevation difference.

03 / SUBSYSTEM

Hydrophore with frequency converter

Multi-pump set, variable speed control, stepwise operation, pressure sensor, stop-start limit and pump backup scenario are evaluated.

04 / SUBSYSTEM

Hydrophore suction line

Proper connection and isolation are ensured by checking the water tank minimum level, suction line pressure loss, pump NPSH and cavitation risk.

05 / SUBSYSTEM

Pressure tank and protection

Diaphragm expansion/pressure tank, check valve, safety, dry running protection, meter and pressure indicators are selected together with the group.

06 / SUBSYSTEM

Pump room layout

Collector, inlet-outlet valve groups, maintenance distance, drainage, anti-vibration and panel access are shown in the drawings.

07 / SUBSYSTEM

Testing and operation

Low/high consumption scenario, pressure stabilization, pump sequencing, alarm/fault, power outage and backup pump testing are performed.

Equipment list

Booster pumps, frequency driver/panel, pressure sensor, expansion/pressure tank, valve, check valve, strainer, manometer and dry running protection.

Design deliverables

Flow rate and dynamic pressure table, booster selection, pump curves, suction-discharge connection diagram, panel control scenario and acceptance report.
