GRUNDFOS HYDRO MULTI-E

Pressure boosting system

HYDRO MULTI-E
PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM

Compact, reliable and versatile booster solution

with system control redundancy
Intelligent pressure
boosting system
with built-in controls
Unique to the Hydro Multi-E is its lack of a conventional control
unit. In this intelligent solution, control of the system lies within the
pumps, which are able to communicate with each other.
Since each pump can function as the controlling unit, there is full
redundancy if a sensor or pump should fail. Together with Grundfos
GO, the Multi-E presents a highly reliable and versatile booster
solution.
Reliable and versatile with
full system redundancy
See what Hydro Multi-E offers:
High-efficiency IE5 motors
Motors used in the Hydro Multi-E
range meet IE5 efficiency standards.
Multi-Master system control
redundancy
If a sensor or master pump should
fail, the next pump with a sensor
automatically takes over as the
controlling unit. You get peace of
mind with no breakdowns, increased
uptime and smooth operation with-
out the need for external controls
– all settings are directly from the
pump.
Proportional pressure
Proportional pressure reduces friction
losses in the pipe, providing lower
operation costs, less water leakage,
greater comfort for the end-user and
reduced energy consumption.
The most common application areas for the
Hydro Multi-E are:
• Apartment buildings
• Hotels
• Hospitals
• Schools
• Irrigation
• Wash and clean
• Fire hydrants
Soft pressure build-up
The pump slowly fills the pipes on start-
up before ramping up speed to reach the
setpoint, protecting against water hammer
and damage, and reducing water leakage
and noise.
Communication interfaces
Integrate fully into existing BMS or SCADA
systems using the Grundfos CIM inter-
faces, which enable data communication
via open and interoperable networks and
ensure one solution offering complete
process monitoring and control, increasing
reliability.
Remote monitoring with
Grundfos GO
Grundfos GO is a comprehensive plat-
form for mobile pump control and pump
selection, where you can monitor duty
points, operating hours, power consump-
tion, speed and temperature of the pumps
from the Grundfos GO Remote app on your
smartphone.
Standard configuration
of all systems
When you order a Hydro Multi-E pressure boosting system,
the standard configuration consists of:
• IE5 motors
• Stainless steel (hygienic)
• Pre-defined pressure tank
• Primary sensor redundancy

Quick delivery is assured – only four days from order

placement to shipment from the factory.
