Product Overview
Eliminating line pressure fluctuations in mission-critical facilities is achieved with the Davey Monsoon single pump variable speed booster system. Equipped with a vertical multistage pump assembly, the unit sustains line pressure stability across demanding plumbing lines. This packaged assembly supplies an integrated booster solution to prevent pressure dropouts across elevated risers.
Engineered for quiet hydraulic performance, overall pump discharge scales up to 383 L/min. Across elevated vertical distribution lines, the multistage hydraulic wet end generates up to 112 metres of maximum shut-off head to overcome static elevation losses. Internal impellers and intermediate stage diffusers are manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel to maintain fluid purity and hydraulic efficiency. A hard-faced mechanical seal and reinforced casing construction support operating system pressures up to 25 bar (2,500 kPa PN25).
The mechanical propulsion assembly utilizes an electric motor engineered for demanding duty cycles. Speed regulation is governed by an integrated variable frequency drive controller, continuously matching motor speed to instantaneous draw to stabilize pipeline pressure. The electrical package connects to a 240V supply at 50 Hz drawing a rated current of 43.9 Amps. Pre-plumbed hydraulic connections feature standardized 2" BSP ports, rated for clean liquid operating temperatures from 0°C to 40°C.
Plant room integration is streamlined via a factory-assembled structural steel baseplate. Integrated elastomeric mounts isolate pump vibrations, protecting connected distribution pipework from mechanical stress and acoustic transmission. Engineered and assembled to meet demanding Australasian commercial plumbing standards, the system benefits from comprehensive Davey technical support and readily available nationwide spare parts.
