Pressure Boosting System Franklin Electric VR SpecPAK

Description

Engineered with high-performance VR Series pumps and premium efficiency TEFC motors, the VR SpecPAK™ Pressure Boosting System can be easily sized and selected to comply with water pressure boosting system needs in most commercial, industrial or multi-residential applications for constant-pressure operation.

Features

Flexible Design With Your Needs in Mind

Configure the VR SpecPAK system with several available options according to flow needs, control enclosures (NEMA 1, NEMA 4X), interfaces (Touchscreen HMI/PLC) and additional communication ports.

• Vertical Multi-Stage Pumps (VR Series): Constructed with all 316 stainless steel wetted components for superior durability, efficiency and performance over a wide variety of applications (except 30VR).
• Available in 2 or 3 pump system configurations.
• Operation range up to 650 gpm & 350 PSI of boost pressure.
• Motor mounting with oversized thrust bearing ensures long operating life; a special heavy-duty motor bearing is not required for easier maintenance and repair.
• NEMA Standard 3-phase Motors: Premium efficiency TEFC enclosures and inverter duty rating allow for local repairs and serviceability.
• Electrical Panel: Includes main and individual drive disconnect switches that streamline product inspections by allowing remaining pumps to stay operational; NEMA 4, UL508A listed.
• Manifolds: 304 stainless steel groved-end suction and discharge manifolds reduce stress of external piping connections, providing easier installation and improved longevity.

Added Protection

The VR SpecPAK is ASHRAE 90.1-2010 compliant and is designed with the following components for added protection:

• NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 certified isolation valves
• Silent check valves
• Pressure transducers
• Pump thermal relief valves
• 316 stainless steel internals, glycerine-filled pressure gauges (2.5″ dial)
• Individual suction-side low pressure switches
• Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
• Designed for pump operation and protection; in the event of a failure or loss of power to the master VFD, all of the remaining drives in the system can continue to operate.
• Pipe-fill and burst pipe detection functions allow safe, controlled pump startup by ensuring consistent filling of piping and reduction in water hammer.

Simple Startup, Seamless Integration

All systems ship pre-programmed and fully tested for easy startup on site. The default parameters are loaded into a mini-USB for quick reset to factory settings.

• User Interface: Provides an intuitive experience with minimal programming needed for adapting or changing application requirements.
• Optional HMI/PLC with add-on ports: Serial/Ethernet or Profibus/CANbus; offers seamless integration into Build Management Systems (BMS) through multiple protocols.
• Color touchscreen: 4.3″ high-quality HMI with integrated PLC functionality (10 Digital, 2 D/A Inputs and 6 Relay Outputs).
