New York City Water Booster Pumps: The Benefits of Using Yaskawa VFD

August 26th, 2022

It’s easy to look at a multi-family building and not think about the planning involved. By the time you take notice of new developments, serious issues are already taking place. People working behind the scenes know there’s more to it than just building a series of houses.

Imagine yourself living in a building’s penthouse, the highest apartment on the top floor. It naturally provides the best view, but think about the amount of power needed for the water to transfer around the building all at the same pressure. From the first floor to the highest penthouse, 400 feet above the ground, you have to come up with the technology to supply adequate water pressure throughout the building.

At Callaghan Pump…

We understand the challenges such construction projects bring. Thus, we provide New York City Variable Booster Pumps that help homeowners, engineers, contractors, and businessmen take care of low water pressure. We understand the demand placed on municipalities since we have been working with them for more than a decade now, helping them move forward with confidence. Similarly, we understand the responsibility of meeting local codes and developing systems that will work as per the standards.

The primary challenge was to create a fully packaged system that could handle both domestic and commercial water pressure issues while meeting local codes. More specifically, it should fluctuate from high flow rates to low domestic flow rates without losing functionality. This is when the New York City Water Booster Pump came to its inception.

Whether the water is distributed from a roof tank or an underground reservoir, New York City Water Booster Pumps will surpass expectations. They are designed specifically for high-rise condominium units that commonly face low water issues. Our line of water booster pumps are:

1. VFD-controlled
2. Energy-efficient
3. Adjustable and quiet
4. Compact and powerful
5. Easy to operate and install
6. Prewired and factory-tested

    

   New York City Variable Booster Pumps for Commercial Properties

    

   For commercial buildings with low pressure (city or well water), New York City Water Booster Pumps are the best solution. These pumps are equipped with a centrifugal pump, which is regulated by a variable frequency drive. This helps you control pump operations and maintain constant pressure regardless of varying demand or fluctuation.

    

   We carefully select, design, assemble, and test variable speed water booster systems that exclusively use Yaskawa IQ Pump 1000. The main benefits of using Yaskawa variable frequency drives are:

    

   1. Excellent Support
      Switching pump controls to Yaskawa is a great idea because it offers great support. Not only does it help you with odd questions, it also helps you understand pumps inside and out. The factory personnel are super friendly and always prompt when it comes to troubleshooting any issues.

       

   2. High-Quality
      Yaskawa produces top-notch VFDs that eliminate most potential issues related to quality and manufacturing. Also, the company spends a large amount of time and money on packaging, so nothing ever gets damaged during the distribution process.

       

   3. Variety of Options
      There are several Yaskawa VFDs you can use, depending on the application. For instance, the New York City Variable Booster Pump uses iQ1000, which is a robust VFD, full of features like complete BMS/BAS modules. In addition to that, iQ Micro is also great as it includes digital and analog outputs to satisfy basic BMS/BAS requirements.

       

   4. Easy to Program
      Since the parameter numbering scheme is always consistent throughout different VFDs, it is easier to program and troubleshoot the equipment. With hundreds of parameters, you can fine-tune most systems over your phone.

       

   5. Easy to Network
      The ability to network different VFDs helps users save money by eliminating the PLC and UL508 panel. You can even have equal pump wear and tear when scheduled on a 24-hour run-time alternation.

       

   6. High-Temperature Ratings
      Speaking of the temperature ratings, outdoor units usually end up in very hot climates. Yaskawa allows you to de-rate the VFD all the way up to 122°F, and sometimes a higher rating for a hot mechanical room.

       

      You See?

       

      You can have confidence in Yaskawa. It’s the only VFD that New York City Water Booster Pumps use. The frame of these booster pumps can easily stand on the floor or be affixed to a wall. You can also install a sound dampening material below and behind the frame to reduce noise.
