Introduction

Before delivery, all Hydro Multi-E systems are carefully

Plug-and-pump solution tested to Grundfos standard, i.e. pressure-tested and

preassembled system mounted on a base frame.
Low energy consumption
The only task left is to connect the pipes and the power
supply. The Hydro Multi-E ensures low energy consumption
through speed-controlled pumps, automatic cascade
User-friendliness control of the pumps and highly efficient low-flow
The Hydro Multi-E is a highly intelligent booster system operation. The highly efficient motors and pumps also
which is capable of controlling two to four contribute to the overall high efficiency of the Hydro
speed-controlled pumps in cascade. The Hydro Multi-E Multi-E system.
is one of our most simple booster systems to start up
and operate. It has only two buttons for complete
control of the system. Alternatively, you can use
Grundfos GO Remote for setup and control.
Perfect constant-pressure control
The speed-controlled pumps are perfectly controlled
and adjusted by the PI controller of the Hydro Multi-E
to deliver the correct pressure at the required flow.
Reliability
The Grundfos CRE, CRIE and CME pumps are known
for their reliability and long life. The PI controller is
protected inside the pump and this has proven to be a
very reliable solution.
Multi-master function (0.37 to 2.2 kW)
All pumps that have a discharge-pressure sensor
connected are capable of taking control of the entire
booster system. This means that the system will
continue to operate as a booster system even if one or
more of the pumps or sensors are unavailable.
Compared to systems with only one sensor, this makes
the Hydro Multi-E an extremely reliable solution.
Redundant sensor (0.37 to 2.2 kW)
No system is more reliable than the weakest
component. In connection with booster systems, it is
common to rely on only one pressure measurement.
However, that makes the operation extremely
dependent on one single sensor. On the Hydro Multi-E,
we do not depend on one sensor (single point of
failure) as the booster system is supplied with two
discharge-pressure sensors as standard.

4. Installation

Mechanical installation
A Hydro Multi-E booster system must be installed in a
well-ventilated room to ensure sufficient cooling of the
pumps. Hydro Multi-E is not suitable for outdoor
installation.
Place the booster system in such a way that there is
sufficient clearance around it for the operator to be
able to work freely.
Enclosure class: IP54.
Insulation class: F.
Motor cooling
To ensure adequate cooling of motor and electronics,
the following must be observed:
• Place the Hydro Multi-E in a well-ventilated room.
• The temperature of the cooling air must not exceed
40 °C.
• Motor cooling fins, holes in fan cover and fan blades
must be kept clean.
Installation
Electrical installation
The electrical connection and protection should be
carried out in accordance with local regulations.
• The Hydro Multi-E must be correctly earthed.
Note: 4.0 to 5.5 kW motors must be connected to
especially reliable/sturdy earth connections due to
an earth leakage current above 3.5 mA.
• The pumps require no external motor protection.
The motors incorporate thermal protection against
slow overloading and blocking (IEC 34-11: TP 211).
• When the pumps are switched on via the power
supply, they will start after approx. 5 seconds.
Note: The number of starts and stops via the power
supply must not exceed four times per hour.
If the system is supplied with a breaker box for wall
mounting, the cabinet must be mounted in accordance
with local regulations.

Pipework
The pipes connected to the booster system must be of
adequate size. Fit expansion joints in the suction and
discharge manifolds to avoid resonance. The pipes are
to be connected to the suction and discharge
manifolds.
The booster system should be tightened up prior to
startup.
We recommend to fit pipe supports both on the suction
and the discharge side.
The booster system should be positioned on an even
and solid surface, for example a concrete floor or
foundation. If the booster system is not fitted with
vibration dampers, it must be bolted to the floor or
foundation.

Building management system (BMS) Control modes
Control of Hydro Multi-E

Communication with the Hydro Multi-E is possible

even though the operator is not present near the Hydro
Multi-E. Communication is enabled by having
connected the Hydro Multi-E to a building
management system allowing the operator to monitor
and change control modes and setpoint settings of the
Hydro Multi-E.
The communication interface between the Hydro
Multi-E system and a central building management
system varies, depending on pump size.
Hydro Multi-E, 0.37 to 2.2 kW
These booster systems can communicate with external
systems via a Grundfos communication interface
module (CIM) that can be fitted in the pumps.
This means that no external communication interface
is required.
Constant-pressure mode
Hydro Multi-E is suitable for applications where you
want to control the pressure on the discharge side of
the booster system, irrespective of the flow.
Signals of pressure changes in the piping system are
transmitted continuously from the sensor to the Hydro
Multi-E. The pump responds to the signals by adjusting
its performance up or down to compensate for the
pressure difference between the actual and the
desired pressures. As this adjustment is a continuous
process, a constant pressure is maintained in the
piping system.
In constant-pressure mode, the Hydro Multi-E
maintains a preset pressure on the discharge side of
the booster system, irrespective of the flow.

Description of functions Number of starts per hour
Functions

This function limits the number of pump starts and

Automatic cascade control
Cascade control ensures that the performance of the
Hydro Multi-E is automatically adapted to the
consumption by switching pumps on or off. The system
thus runs as energy-efficiently as possible with a
constant pressure and only the number of pumps
required.
Dry-running protection
This function is very important as dry running may
damage bearings and shaft seals.
The inlet pressure of the system or the water level in a
possible tank on the inlet side is monitored. If the inlet
pressure or the water level becomes too low, all pumps
will be stopped.
Level switches, pressure switches or analog sensors
signalling water shortage at a set level can be used.
Note: Analog sensors are only available for 0.37 to
2.2 kW systems.
Pump alternation
This function ensures that the operating hours are
distributed evenly on the pumps over time.
stops per hour.
Each time a pump starts or stops, the system will
calculate when the next pump is allowed to start or
stop in order not to exceed the permissible number of
starts per hour.
This function always allows pumps to be started to
meet the requirement, but pump stops will be delayed,
if necessary, in order not to exceed the permissible
number of starts/stops per hour.
Stop function
The stop function checks the flow regularly by reducing
the speed for a short time, thus checking the change in
pressure. If there is no or a small change in pressure,
the pump will detect a low flow.
When the pump detects a low flow, the speed will be
increased until the stop pressure
(actual setpoint + 0.5 x ΔH) is reached and the pump
stops. When the pressure has fallen to the start
pressure (actual setpoint - 0.5 x ΔH), the pump will
restart.
ΔH indicates the difference between start and stop
pressures.

Hydro Multi-E, 0.37 to 2.2 kW
All pumps that have a discharge-pressure sensor
connected can function as master pump and control
the system. As standard, the Hydro Multi-E is supplied
with two discharge-pressure sensors.
As standard, the pump with the lowest number will be
the master pump. From factory, the master pump is
marked with number 1.
If the master pump is switched off or stopped due to an
alarm, one of the other pumps will automatically take
over the control of the system. Thereby, the reliability
is increased and stop of operation is prevented.
As an option, the system can be supplied with only one
discharge-pressure sensor. In that case, the system
will stop if the pump or sensor fails.
The system can also be fitted with sensors on all
pumps for maximum reliability.

Sizing

To ensure that the system is operating as efficiently as

possible, it is important that the system is sized so that
the performance meets the requirements of the
application.
Note: Local legislation must always be taken into
account.

Flow
The total consumption and the required maximum flow
rate depend on the application in question. The
required maximum flow can be calculated by means of
the table below which is based on statistical data.

* fd: Maximum consumption factor per day.

** ft:Maximum consumption factor per hour.

Example: Hotel with 540 beds

Number of beds: n.
Total annual consumption: Qyear x n.
Consumption period: d.
Average consumption per day: (Qyear x n)/d.
Maximum consumption per day: Q(m)day = fd x Qday.
Required maximum flow per hour: Qmax = max. flow rate/hour x number of beds.
Calculation

n = 540 beds.
Qyear x n = 180 x 540 = 97,200 m3/year.
d = 365 days/year.
(Qyear x n)/d = 97,200/365 = 266.3 m3/day.
Q(m)day = fd x Qday = 1.5 x 266.3 = 399.4 m3/day.
Qmax = Max. flow rate/hour x number of beds = 0.125 x 540 = 67.5 m3/h.

Sizing
The required discharge pressure, pset, of Hydro Multi-E ptap(min) = 2 bar
can be calculated from the following formula: pf = 1.2 bar
hmax = 41.5 metres
pset = ptap(min) + pf + (hmax/10.2) + pfm
pin(min) = 2 bar
pboost = pset - pin(min)
pset = 2 + 1.2 + (41.5/10.2) = 7.3 bar
Key pboost = 7.3 - 2 = 5.3 bar

Example: How to select a system

Sizing
• A head of 45 m is required.
The pump type best meeting this specification is
found by means of the y-axis (for example CRE,
CRIE 10-6).
Draw a rightward, horizontal line from the head
required.
• A flow rate of 18 m3/h is required.
Now draw an upward, vertical line from the specified
flow. The intersection of the two lines gives the
number of pumps required for the system (two CRE,
CRIE 10-6).
Only systems whose operating ranges lie within the
hatched area of the example should be selected.

8. Performance curves and technical data

Curve conditions
The guidelines below apply to the curves on the
following pages:
• Curve tolerance: ISO 9906:1999, Annex A.
• Test liquid: airless water at a temperature of +20 °C.
• The curves apply to the following kinematic
viscosity: υ = 1 mm2/s (1 cSt).
• The QH curves apply to fixed speeds of 3480 min-1
(60 Hz).
Note: The actual speed will in most cases deviate
from the above-mentioned speeds. So for realistic
curves, please refer to WebCAPS where the pump
curves include the characteristics of the selected
motor and therefore show curves at actual speeds.
In WebCAPS, it is also possible to adjust the curves
depending on the density and viscosity.
• The conversion between head H (m) and pressure p
(kPa) applies to a water density of ρ = 1000 kg/m3.

Sizing 0 1

This section is based on different fields of application and

installation examples and gives easy step-by-step instructions in
how to size a product:
• Select the most suitable and efficient pump for your
installation.
• Carry out advanced calculations based on energy,
consumption, payback periods, load profiles, life cycle costs,
etc.
• Analyse your selected pump via the built-in life cycle cost tool.
• Determine the flow velocity in wastewater applications, etc.

Replacement

In this section you find a guide to selecting and comparing

replacement data of an installed pump in order to replace the
pump with a more efficient Grundfos pump.
The section contains replacement data of a wide range of pumps
produced by other manufacturers than Grundfos.

Based on an easy step-by-step guide, you can compare

Grundfos pumps with the one you have installed on your site.
When you have specified the installed pump, the guide will
suggest a number of Grundfos pumps which can improve both
comfort and efficiency.

CAD drawings

In this section, it is possible to download 2-dimensional (2D) and

3-dimensional (3D) CAD drawings of most Grundfos pumps.

These formats are available in WebCAPS:

2-dimensional drawings:
• .dxf, wireframe drawings
• .dwg, wireframe drawings.

3-dimensional drawings:
• .dwg, wireframe drawings (without surfaces)
• .stp, solid drawings (with surfaces)
• .eprt, E-drawings.
