Maintain Water Pressure
Pressurisation units are designed to replace water that has been lost due to system leakage and therefore maintain the system design fill-pressure in sealed heating and chilled water systems.
In the event of extreme pressure, they provide a safety circuit which locks our the chiller unit or the boiler.
Our pressurisation units are specifically designed to maintain the minimum water pressure in a sealed chilled and heating system.
Pressurisation Units Explained
What is a Pressurisation Unit?
The main purpose of a pressurisation unit is to maintain system water pressure in sealed heating and chilled systems with the addition of a correctly sized expansion vessel.
They are also designed to:
- Detect drops in system pressure
- Replace water that has been lost through system leakage
- Maintain the system design fill-pressure in sealed heating and chilled water systems
- Ensure the mains water does not get contaminated
- Provide safety circuits locking out the chiller unit or boiler in the event of extreme pressures
- Lower the risk of pressure being too high or low and avoiding an impact on the day-to-day operation of premises
Cavitation
A pump is unable to operate without sufficient inlet pressure, as it will cause cavitation. Cavitation occurs when extremely low pressure is formed at the pump inlet, which creates the formation of water vapor bubbles. These bubbles can cause extensive damage to system components overtime. Cavitation sounds like gravel moving through the system.
A good pressurisation set within your pump system will improve the efficiency of the flow and maintenance of water. Pressurisation units have a much longer life span than traditional models, as they don’t suffer from internal wear and tear.
Benefits of a Pressurisation Unit
By installing a pressurisation unit, you can improve your business efficiency by:
- Improving productivity rates
- Reducing wastage costs
- Reducing time spent resolving any pressure or leakage issues
Pressurisation Unit Maintenance Plan
Having both the pressure units and expansion vessels serviced at the same time allows the system to breath maintaining the working pressure of the system.
Taking advantage of servicing expansion and pressure units for heating and chilled systems, is forward thinking in the prevention of equipment failure. Pumpforce undertakes annual or bi-annual service contract to give peace of mind, against the prevention of breakdowns which in turn preserves the life expectancy, saving money on costly breakdowns.
