Booster pumps are designed to create optimal pressure in plumbing, sewer and heating systems. 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 even in city apartments - in the old housing stock and in new buildings - often the pressure in the pipes is insufficient 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 sewers.
Modern booster pumps consist of two main parts: the base and the head part. The basic elements are combined by intermediate chambers and a cylindrical casing and fastened with tie bolts. The base is equipped with pressure and suction nozzles. The shaft is equipped with an end seal. As a rule, all structural elements are made of high-strength materials with anti-corrosion properties (ceramics, cast iron, stainless steel, brass). Booster pumps are equipped with the so-called "wet rotor", which can function in direct contact with the liquid, so they perform an additional function - cooling of rubbing parts.
Boost pumps used in everyday life are compact enough devices for pumping liquids that are installed directly on the pipe. Almost all experts characterize them as the most convenient and practical device for high-quality water supply to buildings and coolant to the pipe. Even small pumps to increase the pressure in the systems are able to provide an optimal water supply that can optimize the operation of modern powerful household appliances. These devices are able to work with liquids at temperatures from -15 to +100 degrees, but according to SNiPs they can be operated at a temperature of no higher than +40.
The booster pump can be equipped with manual or automatic control. The first are connected and disconnected at the request of the owner. Automatic - begin to function only when a source of water intake is available. This characteristic determines their use in autonomous systems to save water and electric energy. When choosing a pump, the following parameters must be taken into account: power, noise level, performance and maximum possible head. These devices can be of universal use and strictly specialized: step-up pumps for water, borehole,
circulating, circulation hot water, fecal, drainage and stations.
Advantages of modern booster pumps: the ability to work in a wide temperature range, when operating in manual mode, consume electricity economically , the presence of a "rest sensor" in automatic devices, low noise level, small dimensions, ease of installation and operation, the ability to constantly maintain pressure in the systems.
