1 Hydro Multi-E
Redundant sensor (0.37 to 11 kW)

Product introduction
No system is more reliable than its weakest component.

In connection with booster systems, it is common to rely
on only one pressure measurement. However, that makes
the operation extremely dependent on one single
sensor. With Hydro Multi-E, we do not depend on one
sensor (single point of failure) as the booster system is
supplied with two outlet-pressure sensors as standard.
Dry-running protection (0.37 to 11 kW)

Pressure sensors installed on the suction manifold
provide accurate readings of the inlet
pressure and provide feedback to the pumps for dry-
running protection. The pressure sensors double up to
provide differential pressure reading for perfect constant-
pressure control.
Tested and ready to use

Before delivery, all Hydro Multi-E systems are carefully
tested to Grundfos standards, i.e. they are pressure-
tested and tested for full functionality.
Low energy consumption

Hydro Multi-E ensures low energy consumption through
speed-controlled pumps, automatic cascade control of the
pumps and highly efficient low-flow operation. The highly
efficient motors and pumps also contribute to the overall
high efficiency of the Hydro Multi-E system.

Construction
To ensure optimum operation, the tank must be
precharged with pressure.
The precharge pressure is 0.7 x setpoint.
The precharge pressure of the diaphragm tank must be
measured in a pressureless system.
We recommend that you refill the tank with nitrogen.

Pipes
The pipes connected to the booster system must be of
adequate size. Expansion joints should be fitted in the
inlet and outlet manifolds to avoid resonance.
The pipes must be connected to the manifolds of the
booster system, and the booster system must be
tightened before startup.
We recommend that you fit pipe supports for the inlet and
outlet pipes.

Sizing
7. Sizing
When sizing a booster system, take these parameters into
account:
• The performance of the booster system must meet the
highest possible demand both in terms of flow rate
and pressure.
• The booster system must not be oversized. This is
important in relation to installation and operating costs.
You can size the Grundfos Hydro Multi-E
booster systemsvia Grundfos Product Center or with the
help of this data booklet.
Sizing in Grundfos Product Center (recommended)
We recommend that you size your Hydro Multi-E
booster system in Grundfos Product Center, which is a

Inlet pressure
Sizing
If there is a positive inlet pressure, take the inlet pressure
into consideration to ensure safe operation.
The positive inlet pressure has to be added to the outlet
pressure supplied by the booster system in order to
evaluate the resulting maximum outlet pressure.
The maximum inlet pressure is related to the maximum
pressure delivered by the pump. The sum of the inlet
pressure with the maximum pressure delivered by the
pump must be less than the maximum operating pressure.
Example
A Hydro Multi-E booster system with three CRE 20-7
pumps is selected.
Maximum operating pressure: 16 bar.
Maximum inlet pressure: 10 bar.
Outlet pressure against a closed valve: 10 bar.
The selected system is allowed to start at an inlet
pressure of maximum 5.8 bar, as the maximum operating
pressure is limited to 16 bar. If the maximum inlet
pressure exceeds 5.8 bar, select a system rated PN25.
Selecting a Hydro Multi-E booster

system
Select the booster system on the basis of the following
factors:
• maximum flow requirement
• required outlet pressure
• load profile
• number of pumps required
• possible standby pumps.
Accessories for dry-running

protection
When you have selected the optimum Hydro Multi-E
booster system, consider whether you require any of the
accessories mentioned below.
Dry-running protection
Every booster system must be protected against dry
running.
The inlet conditions determine the type of dry-running
protection:
• If the system draws water from a tank or a well, select
a level switch or an electrode relay for dry-running
protection.
• If the system has an inlet pressure, select a pressure
sensor or a pressure switch for dry-running protection.
Optional equipment and accessories

Hydro Multi-E can be fitted with equipment for
communication, dry-running protection, emergency
operation, etc.
See sections Optional equipment and Accessories for
more details.

How to select a system
Sizing
Example:
• A flow rate of 18 m3/h is required.
• A head of 45 m is required.
To select a Hydro Multi-E system, do the following:
1. Draw a vertical line from the required flow rate.
2. Draw a horizontal line from the required head.
The intersection of the two lines gives the number of

pumps required for the system (two CRE, CRIE 10-6).
The pump type that best meets this specification is found
by means of the y-axis, for instance CRE, CRIE 10-6.
Select only booster systems with performance ranges
within the hatched area in the example.

Curve conditions
8. Curve conditions
How to read the curve charts
The guidelines below apply to the curves on the following
pages:
• Measurements are made with airless water at a
temperature of 20 °C.
• The curves apply to a kinematic viscosity of υ equal to
1 mm2/s (1 cSt).
• The QH curves apply to fixed speeds of 3480 min-1 at
60 Hz.
Note that in most cases, the actual speed deviates
from the above-mentioned speeds. For realistic
curves, refer to Grundfos Product Center where the
pump curves represent the characteristics of the
selected motor and therefore show the actual speeds.
In Grundfos Product Center, you can also adjust the
curves depending on the density and viscosity.
• The conversion between head H (m) and pressure p
(kPa) applies to a water density of ρ equal to 1000
kg/m3.

Wall-mounted breaker box
A breaker box for wall-mounting and five metres of flexible
cable are supplied with the booster system. With this
option, the breaker box does not necessarily have to be
installed in the same room as the booster system. The
pumps are wired with five metres of cable, but are not
wired into the breaker box. The reason for not connecting
the cables in the breaker box is to give the customers the
opportunity to adjust the cable length to their needs.

As standard, the breaker box is mounted on the right side

of the system. As an alternative, the system can be

The CIM module enables transfer of data such as:
• operating mode
• setpoint
• control mode
• warnings and alarms
• power and energy consumption.
