Hydrofore Sets and Their Industrial Applications

Hydrofore sets are systems that play a critical role in water supply across a wide range of applications, from residential buildings to industrial facilities, by maintaining a fixed water pressure. The hydrofore sets offered by Ebitt Fluid Technologies are equipped with high-performance pumps and control systems, providing custom solutions for various needs.

Hydrofore systems can be operated with a single pump or, in locations with high water demand, by combining multiple pumps. Our systems can be configured as 2-pump, 3-pump, and 4-pump sets, with 5-6 pump systems being preferred for larger projects. The larger number of pumps allows the system to operate more flexibly and efficiently based on water demand. Our hydrofore sets are divided into two main categories: SDC series (star-delta starting panel hydrofore sets) and WDRIVE series (frequency converter-based hydrofore sets).

Operating Principle of Hydrofore Sets
Hydrofore sets maintain a constant pressure by operating according to water demand with control panels that manage the pump motors.

• SDC Series (Star-Delta Starting Panel Hydrofore Sets): These sets protect large capacity motors from instant high currents. They allow motors to start in star configuration with low current and then switch to delta configuration for full capacity operation. This feature increases energy efficiency and extends motor lifespan.
• WDRIVE Series (Frequency Converter Hydrophore Sets): This system automatically adjusts the motor speed based on water consumption. It optimizes energy usage, prevents pressure fluctuations, and offers a more comfortable and cost-efficient operation.

Applications of Hydrofore Sets

1. Residential and Commercial Buildings
   Hydrofore sets are used to ensure that water reaches the upper floors of multi-story buildings and large apartment complexes at sufficient pressure. Similarly, hydrophore systems play a crucial role in providing stable water pressure in large facilities such as shopping malls, hotels, and hospitals.
2. Industrial Facilities and Factories
   In industrial plants, maintaining stable water pressure during production processes is critical. Hydrofore sets are used for process water supply, cooling systems, and efficient water usage in production lines. In high-capacity systems, 3-pump, 4-pump, or even 5-6 pump hydrofore sets may be preferred.
3. Fire Fighting Systems
   Fire fighting systems, such as fire cabinets and sprinkler systems, require a constant supply of water at a specific pressure. Therefore, high-performance hydrofore sets are used to ensure reliable fire extinguishing systems.
4. Agriculture and Irrigation Systems
   Hydrofore systems are used to provide pressurized water for irrigation on large-scale agricultural land and in greenhouses. The WDRIVE series frequency converter-based hydrofore sets allow energy-saving and efficient water use based on irrigation needs.
5. Municipalities and Infrastructure Systems
   Hydrofore sets are actively used in city water distribution systems, pump stations, and sewage plants. Large-capacity hydrofore systems are preferred to increase the network water pressure and ensure the continuity of water supply.

Advantages of Hydrofore Sets

• Constant Pressure Control: Keeps water pressure balanced according to user needs and prevents sudden pressure changes.
• Energy Efficiency: Frequency converter models optimize energy consumption based on water demand, providing significant savings.
• Flexible Usage Options: Can be configured with different numbers of pumps based on needs.
• Durable and Long-Lasting Design: Pumps and control systems made from high-quality materials ensure long-term reliable use.
• Easy Installation and Maintenance: Modular design allows for quick installation and easy maintenance.
• High Safety Standards: Especially in fire fighting systems, UL/FM certified models ensure complete safety.

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Hydrofore Set

When selecting a hydrofore set, the application area and water demand should be considered. Necessary flow and pressure calculations should be made to determine the correct pump capacity. Frequency converter systems offer energy savings, while star-delta starting systems provide reliable solutions for high-capacity applications. Additionally, it is essential to ensure that pump bodies are made of stainless steel and that the system is equipped with suitable automation and safety systems for long-lasting operation.
