Grundfos launches efficient, intelligent pumping systems

by Brianna Crandall — February 20, 2015—Global advanced pump solutions provider Grundfos has expanded its Commercial Buildings line with the introduction of PACOpaQ, customized heating/ventilation/air-conditioning (HVAC) packaged systems that were showcased at the 2015 AHR Expo in Chicago.

PACOpaQ

PACOpaQ combines the reliability of PACO-brand centrifugal pumps with the intelligence and efficiency of the Grundfos MLE motor and integrated variable frequency drive. The systems also feature a dedicated HVAC control, which automatically determines the most efficient speed and optimum number of pumps needed to meet desired flow and pressure.

Heat exchangers are included in the PACOpaq as well as expansion tanks, hydraulic separators, and tangential air separators—also available separately. These components work together to provide lower initial cost, longer pump life, reduced maintenance, maximum efficiency and quieter operation for the end user.

The Hydro Multi-B is an all variable speed controlled pump system utilizing two to three GrundfosCME pumps with integrated variable frequency drive.

Hydro Multi-B and Hydro MPC BoosterpaQ

Grundfos’ booth also highlighted the Hydro Multi-B and Hydro MPC BoosterpaQ.

The Hydro Multi-B is an all variable speed controlled pump system utilizing two to three GrundfosCME pumps with integrated variable frequency drive. The Hydro Multi-B boasts two key features: an easy-to-use CU323 controller for efficient, optimized pump control in constant-pressure applications, and simplicity of installation and operation, the key design concept for the system. The Hydro Multi-B will be available for immediate delivery in March.

Based on the highly efficient Grundfos CR pump range, the sturdy, compact Hydro MPC BoosterpaQ is a fully integrated pressure-boosting system with the intelligent CU 352 controller optimizing pump operation based on demand. Hydro MPC BoosterpQ is an energy-efficient solution for varying flow needs, now available for immediate delivery with no lead times.
