Maintaining adequate
water pressure and flow in a multi-story building is necessary for both
fire-fighting and domestic applications. Domestic or city water pressure is
often not enough to achieve these objectives, and that’s why these buildings
require additional equipment.
The
challenge of delivering reliable water pressure is serious in high-rise structures.
For instance, hotels in New Jersey offer several guest rooms and large banquets
for special events and meetings. At any given time of day, they require ensuring
that every guest has access to the water they need when they need it. This is
where New Jersey Water Booster Pumps can
be used to…
·
Overcome
low water pressure issues
·
Maintain
constant water supply and flow
·
Decrease
operational costs and provide peace of mind
New Jersey Variable Booster Pumps for
High-rise Buildings
New Jersey Water Booster Pumps are perfect for high-rise structures because
these pumps are capable of sitting idle during low-demand periods. This means
they can easily ramp up when demand increases, saving time and extending the
life of the system.
What makes New Jersey Variable Booster Pumps different
than other pumps is that they are easy to transport and can fit into just about
any space. Also, they are available in both electric and diesel models to cater
to your unique needs.
4 Different Configurations of the New
Jersey Variable Booster Pump
Like most buildings,
water booster pumps vary in size and design. This makes it difficult to
determine which one is most efficient and effective for your building. Let’s
look at the four different system configurations to help you pick the right
pump design.
1.
Single Booster System
In this
case, a water tank is kept in front of the water booster pump. It is filled
with water from the mains, which helps the capacity of the mains to be lower
than the peak demand of the building. As a result, this ensures constant water pressure
even in peak flow situations.
However, single
booster systems can lead to unacceptably high pressure on the lower floors.
When this happens, the system will require a pressure relief valve to remove
excessive pressure.
2.
Zone-divided System
This water
pressure system is split into several zones to ensure adequate water pressure
on all floors without using pressure relief valves. There is a limit set to the
upper and lower floors in each zone.
Zone-divided
water booster pumps eliminate unnecessary water pressure and supply equal water
pressure to all floors without wasting energy. This makes them great for taller
buildings that often have to adapt to fluctuating consumption.
3.
Roof Tanks System
Roof tank
systems ensure both water pressure and supply when some power failure takes
place. This system requires pressure reduction valves on each floor, so it can
avoid unnecessary high static pressures due to the insufficient geometric
height of the roof tank.
4.
A Series-connected System
A
series-connected system enables effective usage of power. This is because the
water is only pumped to the zone. Keep in mind that when you draw water on the
upper floors, the booster system must be able to deliver the water from the
bottom of the building.
Zone-divided System: The Best Solution
for High-rise Buildings
Picking the
right water booster system depends on the height of your building and the load
profile. In most cases, zone-divided systems offer the most efficient water-boosting
solution. They ensure there is no additional water pressure to the system than
what is needed.
While single
booster systems produce excessive pressure and then remove it later, they often
lead to significant pressure differences. Not only do they require additional
components, they also require energy to remove the extra pressure. This is why
investing in zone-divided systems could be the right move for taller structures.
They offer an
intelligent way to boost water pressure on each floor – no more or less. By
dividing a high-rise building into different booster zones, it becomes easier
to define the flow and pressure needed at each zone. Make sure the size of each
booster meets your exact water demand.
