Grundfos Hydro MPC

The Grundfos Hydro MPC is an integrated packaged pumping system designed to provide a more efficient, cost-effective, and easier-to-install alternative to field-built systems for both pressure boosting and HVAC applications. Pre-piped, pre-wired, and pre-tested, this system includes pumps, motors, controls, VFDs, and other components, ensuring simplified installation and commissioning with unmatched performance.

Utilizing intelligent controls and smaller pumps, the Hydro MPC leverages parallel pumping to deliver enhanced flexibility, scalability, and efficiency under varying load conditions. This approach reduces energy consumption by over 18% compared to other VFD HVAC and pressure boosting systems, resulting in significant long-term cost savings.

Features and Benefits:

• Modular design options for cost-effective packaged solutions with a smaller footprint than traditional pumping systems
• CR/CRE pumps have extremely low inertia, meaning minimal vibration and do not require alignment
• Advanced permanent magnet motor offers an additional 7–10% decrease in energy cost over NEMA Premium motors with conventional VFDs (available up to 15 hp)
• Efficiency based sequencing, CU 352 controller runs up to 6 pumps by intelligently monitoring power and pressure
• SCADA via CIM expansion card that plugs in to the CU 352 for easy BMS integration, via a variety of protocols with BACnet as standard, and utilizes single poll functionality that pings device once for over 30 communication points of data and control
• Built-in logging capability for easy trouble-shooting & energy analysis
• Secondary (fallback) sensors allows for system control if remote sensor fails
• Innovative cartridge mechanical seal can be replaced in minutes for easier maintenance and reduced downtime
• One housekeeping pad and no grouting, for easier and more cost effective installation; fits on existing housekeeping pads for retrofits
• No suction diffusers, triple duty valves or alignment necessary

Pressure Boosting Applications:

• Low flow stop control that exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 energy code for service water boosters
• Certifications/approvals include: System NSF 61/372 Certified and seismic certification by OSHPD (OSP0491-10) specifically for Hydro MPC E (CUE) systems
• 316 stainless steel manifolds are engineered to streamline flow, reduce pressure loss and protect against corrosion
