Product Overview
Small sites where a duty-point review calls for reserve pump capacity rely on booster systems with no tolerance for pressure variation, and the Hydro MPC-E 3 CRNE 5-14 is engineered for exactly that duty. Quote part number 93637816 to have it arrive pre-configured and ready for the plant room.
The system supports flow rates up to 486 L/min. It can develop up to 137 metres of head for dependable pressure boosting. Control sits with the GENIECON multi-pump controller in its touch-equipped panel, adjusting each pump individually and rotating duty by load, run hours and faults.
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 3 x 400 V supply at 50 Hz with a rated current of 17.7 A. Motors are protected to IP54, while maximum system pressure is 16 bar. Liquid-temperature suitability is 5°C to 60°C.
Expect it on irrigation schemes and commercial buildings sites, plus high-rise developments duties. It provides clean-water pressure boosting for both new plant rooms and refits.
Features
- Factory assembled and wet-tested, the set arrives pre-configured for straightforward installation.
- Each main pump is rated 3 kW (P2), so per-pump draw scales down as speed follows demand.
- Inlet pressure monitoring provides dry-running protection if the suction supply is insufficient.
- The controller tracks the pressure setpoint with proportional deviation alerts before conditions become faults.
- Cascade logic brings pumps on-line and off-line against changing demand without manual intervention.
- The touch-panel GENIECON interface shows system status and allows direct setpoint changes on the door.
- Maximum operating pressure of 16 bar with motors sealed to IP54.
- Three Grundfos CRNE 5-14 pumps share the boosting work in parallel.
- Slow-speed duty and staged switching keep consumption down through low-demand hours.
- Control decisions come from real pump curves, not generic models, via the GENIECON UNIT.
- Stainless steel manifolds provide two 50 mm manifold connections ready for pipework.
- An integrated 8L diaphragm tank carries small draw-offs and limits pump cycling.
- Frequency converters on the motors pair with permanent magnet motors for efficient part-load operation.

What total water pumping volume can this packaged multi pump assembly achieve at peak system duty?
Operating across its factory curve, the Grundfos Hydro MPC-E 3 CRNE 5-14 V1 GA-A-A-AGU discharges up to 486 L/min of clean water to maintain consistent line pressure during peak demand cycles.
What variable frequency motor propulsion powers each pump wet end in this packaged booster skid?
Each centrifugal stage of the Hydro MPC-E 3 CRNE 5-14 is driven by a 3 kW variable frequency drive MGE electric motor running on 3 x 400 V power, utilizing built-in variable speed drives to adjust output dynamically.
What dynamic head pressure does this parallel booster package generate across distribution pipework?
Elevating water across multi-level pipework, the Hydro-MPC-E-3-CRNE-5-14 maintains up to 137 m total dynamic head with an overall 16 bar maximum operating limit.
How are the parallel multistage pumps plumbed into common suction and discharge manifolds?
Plumbed for rapid site installation, the Hydro MPC E 3 CRNE 5 14 includes R 2" stainless steel headers equipped with dedicated isolating valves, check valves, and pressure transmitters.
Which manufacturer warranty provisions cover the complete packaged booster set?
Grundfos provides two-year manufacturer warranty coverage on the 3 CRNE 5-14 (Hydro MPC-E), securing the complete multi-pump package, manifolds, and integrated electronics.
