When water pressure is insufficient, installing a pressurization system is a great alternative and the Esybox line is the best option!
(Eduardo Secco – FAMAC Training)
When the water pressure in supply networks is not sufficient, as sometimes happens in homes, buildings, hotels, condominiums, industries and irrigation systems, installing a pressurization system is an excellent alternative. As we explain how they work, we will show that the Esybox line of pressurizers is the best option.
First, let's give an explanation. A water pressurization system is a set of equipment designed to increase water pressure in a hydraulic network. First of all, we need to explain that these systems are made up of several components.
Alternative
The pump, of course, is the main component of the pressurization system, responsible for increasing the water pressure before distributing it through the hydraulic network.
Along with it, another important item is the pressure controller. Used to monitor and control water pressure in the hydraulic network, it ensures that it remains within safe limits.
Equally important is the reservoir that will store the pressurized water for later use.
In addition to these components, the water pressurization system may include other parts, such as filters, pressure gauges, safety devices, etc., depending on the specific needs of each application.
Primarily, there are two alternative pressurization systems: variable pressure on-off and those with constant pressure. Come with us to find out a little more about each of them.
On-Off Variable Pressure System
In this solution, the motor pump always works at 100% of its capacity when activated. In this sense, this system comprises:
- Pump, any type of pump can be used, but the most common are surface centrifuges (horizontal or vertical, single or multistage).
- Hydraulic connections.
- Check valve, which prevents water that has already been pumped from returning, in short, protecting the pump against reverse rotations.
- Expansion tank, which increases the elasticity of the system, protecting the pump above all against water hammer.
- Activation and shutdown device.
As an on/off device there are two alternatives:
- Mechanical pressure switch: detects the water pressure in the hydraulic network through a spring. This spring is calibrated at the factory to turn the pump on when the pressure reaches a minimum value and turn the pump off when the pressure reaches a maximum value.
- Automatic controller: also called electronic pressure switch, it activates the pump when the pressure detected by the integrated electronic sensor reaches the determined minimum value. Turns off the pump when a lack of flow is detected, protecting the pump against dry operation and turning it off in the event of a lack of water.
Constant Pressure System
Unlike the on-off in which the pump always works at maximum capacity, in a constant pressure system the pump operates proportionally to demand, regulating the engine rotations to maintain constant network pressure.
This solution is composed of the same elements as the system on-off, with the drive device being an automatic controller associated with a fundamental component: the frequency inverter.
The frequency inverter detects the water pressure in the network using a pressure transducer. In short, based on the information received, the pump speed increases or decreases according to the water consumption in the network, thus keeping the set pressure always constant, generating water and energy savings.
The integration and management of all elements of this system can be done using an external control panel or an electronic board. Unlike conventional constant pressure systems, in the most modern systems these elements are designed, developed and integrated into a single piece of equipment, in surface or submersible versions.
In figure 1 it is possible to see a conventional constant pressure system at the top and a more modern one at the bottom.
In case of high water demand, such as in condominiums, hotels and hospitals, for example, it may be necessary to use a group of two or more pumps installed together in parallel, thus guaranteeing supply. In these cases, centralized management of the various elements of the system becomes even more important, resulting in the need for communication between the multiple pumps.
Esybox Pressurizer Line
FAMAC brought to the Brazilian market the ESYBOX pressurizer line da DAB Pumps, developed especially to pressurize the water supply network of homes, buildings, hotels and condominiums, and can also be used in industries and irrigation.
The line comprises the ESYBOX, the ESYBOX Mini, the ESYBOX Max and the ESYBOX Diver. They all use high-technology and efficient components, which provides constant pressure, in addition to saving energy and water.
Above all, those who choose this equipment only find advantages. Want to see?
Differentiators of the Esybox pressurizer line
A ESYBOX pressurizer line has water potability certificates, certifying that the water that leaves the equipment has the same quality as the water that enters, that is, it is not contaminated by the equipment. Therefore, this makes it suitable for use with drinking water in any application.
All equipment in the line has the appropriate safety protections to ensure that the pump protects itself in situations such as dry operation, low temperatures (anti-freezing), voltage peaks, anti-cycle, among others.
The products of ESYBOX line They are very quiet (45dB in normal use) due to the water-cooled motor, anti-vibration feet and cutting-edge electronics. This engine cooling allows installation in closed spaces such as cabinets or boxes, which do not have much air exchange.
It has double suction input and double impulsion output allowing vertical, horizontal or wall-mounted installation, saving even more space. Therefore, thanks to its compact size, installation is possible in places with limited space.
The Wi-Fi system allows you to integrate more than one ESYBOX into the same installation, allowing the grouping of up to 4 devices installed in parallel. All operating parameters are displayed on the LCD display, which makes it easy to view and adjust different settings according to demand.
In this sense, we inform you that we already have equipment from ESYBOX pressurizer line installed in homes, condominiums, hotels, amusement parks, in industries and in different agricultural applications.
Definitely having a system that guarantees your comfort in your home, building or industry has never been easier!
