Booster Sets (Hydrophores)

Detailed Information on Booster Sets (Hydrophores)

Booster systems are automatic pressurization solutions used to maintain water at a specific pressure, balance pressure losses in high-rise buildings, and ensure continuous water flow. Consisting of a pump, pressure tank, control panel, and pressure switch, these systems have a wide range of applications from domestic residences to industrial facilities.

Operating Principle

The booster set automatically activates and pressurizes the water when the pressure in the installation drops below a certain value. Water accumulated in the pressure tank supports the system during sudden demands and prevents the pump from frequent starting and stopping (short cycling), ensuring long life and energy savings.

Booster System Components

• • Pump: Jet, centrifugal, or multi-stage vertical pumps can be used.
• • Pressure Tank: Membrane tanks, generally between 24–5000 liters.
• • Control Panel: Provides automatic operation, protection, and pressure adjustment.
• • Pressure Switch / Sensor: Controls the operation of the system according to pressure.
• • Non-return Check Valves: Prevents backflow.

Booster Types

• • Domestic Boosters: Low flow rate – low noise levels.
• • Commercial Building Boosters: Systems for apartments, residential complexes, hotels, and malls.
• • Industrial Boosters: Multi-pump, VFD (inverter) controlled.
• • Stainless Steel Boosters: For hygienic water and food facilities.
• • Double / Triple Pump Boosters: Staged operation for high demand.

Application Areas

• • Residential and apartment installations
• • Hotels, shopping malls, and office buildings
• • Restaurants and commercial enterprises
• • Industrial production facilities
• • Garden irrigation and agricultural systems
• • Water tanks and well systems

Performance Ranges

Booster systems can generally be designed with:
• 1 – 500 m³/h flow rate
• 20 – 100 m head (lift)
• 0.75 – 75 kW motor power. High energy savings are achieved with inverter (VFD) control in large systems.
