Product Overview
Multi-level commercial office complexes and corporate business suites operate the quiet Calpeda MXHL EI 408 booster set for uninterrupted line pressure. Built with 1 x Calpeda MXHL 408 multistage pump assemblies, the package delivers a maximum volumetric flow rate of 133 L/min to overcome sudden demand spikes across commercial pipework. The hydraulic wet ends produce a maximum shut-off head of 84.8 metres to maintain constant vertical static elevation without line starvation.
The precision-machined hydraulic stages comfortably sustain continuous single pump flows up to 133 L/min. System regulation is controlled by an integrated motor-mounted I-MAT variable frequency drive. The pump dynamically adjusts its operating frequency to match instantaneous draw-off rates, eliminating mechanical water hammer and destructive line pressure surges. A factory-plumbed 18 L membrane pressure vessel dampens transient micro-fluctuations, while digital pressure transducers provide real-time line feedback to protect against dry running.
Mechanical integrity is assured through a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant chassis. Hydraulic construction utilizes premium 316L Stainless Steel impellers, stage chambers, and pump casings for superior corrosion resistance and longevity. The 8-stage hydraulic stacks connect into common manifolds featuring a 32 mm suction port and a 25 mm delivery connection. Each individual pump line incorporates dedicated nickel-plated brass shut-off ball valves and non-return check valves mounted on a vibration-dampened S235JR steel baseplate.
The three-phase electric motor is wound for standard 400V 50 Hz plant room electrical feeds. Operating with a full-load current rating of 4.8 Amps, the TEFC motor configuration incorporates IP54 ingress protection and Class F thermal winding insulation. The package is rated for continuous fluid temperatures from -15°C to +110°C and ambient plant room environments up to 40°C. Manufactured to strict European standards, the entire variable-speed booster system is backed by a comprehensive 24 Months manufacturer warranty.
