Product Overview
In cafe strips and small assemblies where a dishwasher cycle drops the street pressure, the simultaneous demand of the morning peak places heavy loads on the supply; the Hydro MPC-E 2 CRIE 5-2 answers with two CRIE 5-2 pumps operating in parallel. The complete system ships factory assembled and tested under part number 93637517.
It handles flows up to 329 L/min across the system. The pumps can develop up to 19 metres of head when pressure demand increases. A Grundfos GENIECON PANEL on the common base frame provides the system control; the GENIECON UNIT within it holds the exact hydraulic and electrical data of the pumps, so staging and changeover decisions are based on the pumps' actual curves.
Factory assembled on a common base, the set combines stainless steel pipework, two 50 mm manifold connections, isolation and non-return valves, pressure sensors and a gauge, plus an 8L diaphragm tank. It connects to a 1 x 230 V supply at 50 Hz with a rated current of 6.7 A. Motors are protected to IP54, while maximum system pressure is 16 bar. Liquid-temperature suitability is 5°C to 60°C.
Its home ground covers commercial buildings, industry and irrigation schemes. The variable-speed system suits clean-water boosting duties with changing demand.
Features
- The touch-panel GENIECON interface shows system status and allows direct setpoint changes on the door.
- Inlet pressure monitoring provides dry-running protection if the suction supply is insufficient.
- The package is wet-tested and pre-configured, requiring only pipework and power on site.
- Pump staging follows demand automatically: pumps enter at low speed as pressure drops, ramp to equal speed, and exit as flow fades.
- Variable speed comes from frequency converters matched to permanent magnet motors, keeping the booster set in its efficient range.
- Maximum operating pressure of 16 bar with motors sealed to IP54.
- Stainless steel manifolds provide two 50 mm manifold connections ready for pipework.
- Both constant-pressure and proportional-pressure modes are available, so plant rooms can tune response to pipework.
- Control decisions come from real pump curves, not generic models, via the GENIECON UNIT.
- Two Grundfos CRIE 5-2 vertical multistage pumps run in parallel on one common base frame.
- The set ships with an 8L precharged diaphragm tank for low-flow stability.
- Each main pump is rated 0.55 kW (P2), so per-pump draw scales down as speed follows demand.
- Energy draw matches the actual job because speed follows demand, not a fixed curve.

How are the parallel pump stages plumbed with isolating valves and non return check valves?
Header plumbing on the Grundfos Hydro MPC-E 2 CRIE 5-2 VN GA-A-A-AG provides R 2" stainless steel suction and discharge connections accompanied by isolating valves and discharge check valves.
How is this variable speed booster system protected by factory warranty terms?
Protection on the Hydro MPC-E 2 CRIE 5-2 is provided by a comprehensive Grundfos two-year manufacturer warranty with extensive Australian technical service and spare parts support.
What peak volumetric water flow can this packaged booster assembly maintain across the network?
Under maximum network draw, the Hydro-MPC-E-2-CRIE-5-2 supplies a peak fluid flow rate of up to 329 L/min across its variable speed centrifugal stages.
Which electric motor specification and frequency converter powers this multi pump booster unit?
Propulsion across the Hydro MPC E 2 CRIE 5 2 is supplied by two variable frequency drive MGE electric motors rated at 0.55 kW each, operating on a 1 x 230 V electrical supply with integrated frequency converters for precise pressure control.
What vertical head pressure and maximum operating pressure rating does this booster unit provide?
For vertical pressure boosting, the 2 CRIE 5-2 (Hydro MPC-E) produces up to 19 m total elevation head with a 16 bar maximum working pressure envelope.
