Kirloskar HYPN Systems: Efficient multi-use water supply systems

by katlyngrandi2 -

Urbanization has increased the demand of efficient water supply systems. With a large number of people living in residential complexes, towers and high number of people working in big commercial buildings supplying water at a constant pressure is a big challenge. Kirloskar Bros. Pvt. Ltd.has brought an efficient water supply solution for large residential and commercial complexes that promises pressure maintained water supply with the required pressure across all the outlets all the time.

Introducing Kirloskar HYPN System:

Kirloskar HYPN system is a combination of Hydro (HY) that is liquid circulation and pneumatic (Pressure) system (PN) abbreviated together as HYPN system. This system is far more advanced than the traditional water supply system that relies on gravity for water pressure development through overhead tanks. This system is a combination of high power centrifugal pumps and tanks with compressed air that maintain water flow and pressure throughout the supply system. This system has a capability of maintaining constant water pressure all the time irrespective of changes in water consumption.

Advantages of HYPN system:

  • HYPN system maintains uniform pressure across all water outlets
  • It has an automated control system that regulates the water supply across tanks
  • It maintains the desired water pressure across all the outlets
  • It requires least intervention during sudden increase in water demands

How does HYPN system work?

Residential towers, hotels, and commercial complexes require constant water supply. They possess more than one buildings and varied supply needs of each building. The traditional “pressure due to gravity system”with overhead tanks is not capable to provide uniform pressure across all outlets all the time because there is limit to pressure the system can generate. This is a problem in case of increased water use during the morning time of the day. For example water pressure and the force reduce when more taps are open in a building. Also in case of overhead tank supply system the top floors get low water pressure because they are nearer to the overhead tank.

HYPN is an automated system that does not need overhead tanks. It can work with all water tanks irrespective of their position or height (also ground placed tanks). It is the combination of the pumping and pressurized tanks to maintain water supply with a constant pressure.

The system operates at a set pressure that is to be maintained across all water outlets across all buildings of a complex. It is equipped with pressure sensors that sense the decrease in the pressure when one or more outlets are open. The demand of water is more in the morning work timings. Consequently more water outlets are open during that time and pressure reduces because of high water consumption. For the buildings to receive equal watersupply all the time HYPN system sensors sense the drop in the pressure and increase the pressure or force of water by speeding the pumps. Small difference of pressure is covered by the pressure tanks.

VFD system integration

HYPN system is equipped with Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) that increases or decreases the RPM of the pumps for maintaining the pressure. It acts as per the instantaneous feedback of the pressure sensors to the system. The maximum RPM of the pumps is 2900 per minute and this is the stage where the pumps produce maximum pressure.

The RPM of the pumps is altered by changing the frequency of the electrical power of the pumps depending on the pressure requirement. The VFD system maintains the pressure by changing the RPM corresponding to the specific value of the required pressure. This feature of the HYPN system makes it the most preferred water supply system in the international market.

Types of pressure boosting systems:

  • Fixed speed system: All pumps operate at fixed speeds
  • Single VFD system: One pump on VFD and remaining 1 or 2 on full speed.
  • Multiple VFD system: All pumps on VFD system

The type of system to be implemented depends on the water flow requirements and the size of the overall system. In case of utility of a single big pump it is run with a VFD and if multiple pumps are necessary 1 or 2 is run on full RPM for maximum pressure and one is run with VFD to cope with the water pressure changes across the day.

Uses of HYPN system:

  • Tank filling system for underground water tanks to overhead water tanks
  • Water supply to residential buildings, hotels, commercial buildings, townships, airports, IT parks etc.
  • Water transfer from one storage tank to other storage tank
  • Bottling plant and demand based industrial applications like textile, process automobile, power etc.
  • Municipal corporation water supply schemes, irrigation and gardening systems

Vijay Engineering and Manufacturers Company (VEMC) supply Kirloskar pumps with high functionality control panels that help you get more out of the HYPN system. The control panels make the controlling and setting of the system very easy and add to the overall capability of the HYPN system.

All You Need To Know About Self-Priming Pumps

by katlyngrandi2 -

What does priming mean?

When it comes to centrifugal pumps, they need to be prepared (primed) before they’re used. This usually involves filling them up with water and creating a vacuum within the pump. If air gets into a regular, non-self priming pump, it stops working until the air is removed. This problem is often referred to as air binding.

What does a self-priming pump do?

Removing air manually from a regular, non-self priming pump takes a lot of effort. A self-priming pump saves you this trouble by dealing with air binding on its own.

How does a self-priming pump work?

A self-priming pump gets rid of air by mixing it with the water present in the pump. The air and water are then pushed into a separation chamber. Here the air, being more buoyant, rises above the water and once the two are separated, the air is pumped out. The water is pumped back in. This establishes a vacuum in the pump which is the main aim of priming.

After that, it works like a normal centrifugal pump. It’s important to note that a self-priming pump won’t work if there’s no water in it.

What are the benefits of using a self-priming pump?

  • A self-priming pump saves you a lot of time and effort you would’ve otherwise put into priming the pump manually
  • A self-priming pump doesn’t just work in water. It can also work in slurries as well as solids (up to 3 inches)
  • It can handle hot or cold water and its operation is unaffected by liquids that may be volatile, corrosive or hazardous
  • Unlike a submersible pump, it can function even when it’s not completely submerged in the fluid it’s pumping

The SP-M series of Kirloskar pumps are non-clog, self-priming centrifugal pumps. They can be used in various marine, industrial, civil construction, mobile machinery and public utility applications. Its non-clogging impeller deals with suspended solids and it has dynamically balanced rotating parts that minimize vibrations. It can withstand voltage fluctuations and its efficiency is at par with international standards. Maintaining the pump is simple and spare parts are easily available.

Get Top-Notch Submersible Pumps from the Best Submersible Water Pump Brand in India

by katlyngrandi2 -

What is a submersible pump?

A submersible pump has a hermetically sealed (airtight) motor attached to the main body. The seal protects the motor from water damage. For the pump to work, it needs to be submerged in the fluid that needs to be pumped. The fluid helps cool the motor during the process, so if the pump is not completely submerged, the motor can overheat. The main problem a submersible pump helps overcome is pump cavitation, wherein small cavities of water vapour form inside the pump leading to a fall in its efficiency.

Where is a submersible pump used?
A single stage submersible pump is used in home pumping (e.g. aquarium filters) or to pump sewage and slurry. It is also used in small industrial processes. A multi-stage pump is usually lowered into boreholes and so, is used in water extraction for residential, municipal or industrial purposes or in water wells or oil wells. A submersible pump can work in fresh water as well as salt water. It is suitable for direct burial and within well castings.

How does it work?
A multistage pump is used in a vertical position. It is lowered into the fluid and begins to work when it is completely submerged. While an above ground pump uses suction to pull the fluid to the surface, a submersible pump uses direct pressure to push it upwards.

Benefits of using a submersible pump

  • Submersible pumps don’t face problems related to pump cavitation.
  • Since above ground pumps pull water upwards, they often face issues related to their mechanism. Submersible pumps, after being lowered into the fluid, push water upwards. This is a simpler, more efficient process which allows the pump to last longer.
  • Since a submersible pump is completely submerged in the fluid and its motor is protected by a hermetically sealed space, it doesn’t lose its prime. Hence, the pump doesn’t need to be primed. It also doesn’t face any issues and doesn’t need to be replaced for decades.

Kirloskar, the best water pump brand in India, offers a wide range of pumps to suit different requirements be it residential, municipal, commercial or industrial. Vijay Engineering and Machinery Company is one of the leading Kirloskar water pump dealers in Mumbai and we are proud to be the best industrial pump distributors and submersible pump dealers in Mumbai.

Cut Down on Electricity Bills with Solar Net Metering

by katlyngrandi2 -

When you talk about solar energy, you often hear the term ‘net metering’. So what exactly does it mean? In a grid-tied system, where the solar PV system is connected to the main power grid, many people generating their own solar electricity often don’t need all the units they produce, e.g. during the day when the burden on solar lighting systems isn’t very high. The energy that isn’t consumed by them is added back to the main grid. It goes through the inverter (a grid-tie or standalone inverter) to the home electric control panels. It then goes through the utility meter to the utility grid where it’s available for others to use. Solar net metering is a billing system wherein solar panel system owners that add electricity to the grid are credited. The excess energy can be used by others who are in need of that energy. Here, those individuals are debited. This way, consumers are billed only for their ‘net’ energy usage, i.e. the difference between how much they consume and how much they produce.

Benefits of a net metering system

  • It’s very cost-effective. Consumers that add energy back to the grid get many cuts in their electricity bills (it could even be 0 at times)
  • Homeowners, businesses, etc. produce their own energy which takes the burden off the grid
  • Neighbourhoods that use net metering can become self-sustaining as houses that have excess energy power those who need it
  • It is a highly efficient way to become more environmentally friendly and conserve energy
  • Since consumers get credits for conserving energy, net metering is an effective way to instill a habit of saving electricity
  • Since the excess energy you produce gets transferred to the grid, you no longer need to invest in a high-end solar generator or batteries

Net metering in Maharashtra

Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution/Transmission Company Limited (MSEDCL) regulates net metering in the state for rooftop solar PV systems. After the MERC Net-Metering Policy was implemented in 2016, installing solar PV systems with net metering was made easier and a large number of people started switching to solar energy to reduce their carbon footprint.

Vijay Engineering and Machinery Company offers a wide range of solar solutions to further fast track your journey to a greener lifestyle. We follow a systematic 6-step process to ensure efficient execution of the solar solutions we offer.

Get the best-in-class vertical inline multistage pump for better result-VEMC

by katlyngrandi2 -

Multistage Centrifugal pumps are among the most widely used water pumps today, because of their high efficiency to transfer liquids at a vast range of pressures. While there are two categories of multistage inline centrifugal pumps – horizontal and vertical, and one you purchase depends on your requirements. In a vertical inline multistage pump, the shaft is in the vertical position, and is available in a radial split case design.

Some of the advantages of vertical inline multistage pumps are as follows:

1. It is suitable for places which have limited ground area.

2. Being vertical, the footprint is smaller than horizontal centrifugal pumps.

3. They are highly suitable and efficient for high pressure and high temperature fluids.

For vertical multistage centrifugal pumps, KSIL and KCIL from Kirloskar are among the best choices in the market.
Multistage centrifugal pumps have numerous uses in water supply, industrial pressure boosting, liquid transfer water treatment, building industry, dairy irrigation, small power plants, etc. The suction and discharge ports in the vertical multistage centrifugal pumps are of same dimensions, and therefore, in the same horizontal plane. This in-line design helps in their installation in horizontal pipe systems.

The KSIL and KCIL models of these vertical multistage centrifugal pumps are also very energy efficient, with a compact and aesthetic exterior. The pumps are also corrosion resistant which makes them markedly durable and easy to maintain. Other very important features include reliable sealing, light weight, and low noise levels- which lead to these pups being the customers’ first choice.

Vertical Inline Multistage Pump – For High Pressure and Boiler Feed Application

by katlyngrandi2 -

Vertical inline multistage pumps are a type of inline pumps that have numerous applications like supplying water in high level buildings, fire-fighting systems, hot water circulation, hydraulic power plants, hotels, steam boilers and many more. Generally, there are two configurations of these pumps available, based on the outer casing of the machine. These pumps can be mounted horizontally or vertically as per the needs of the customer.

Multistage pumps are being used more and more recently because of various advantages it has over a single stage pump. They are more economical as high pressures can be achieved with a single pump having multiple impellers using a single motor. Multistage pumps are proven to be more efficient. Usage and maintenance have shown marked ease as compared to the single stage ones.

Selecting a horizontal or a vertical has its own disadvantages and advantages. However, the vertical inline multistage pump is better suited for places that have restricted room for the appliance, since they have a smaller footprint requirement. They are suited for higher temperature and high-pressure fluid operations. The Net Pump Suction Head (NPSH) available in the appliance can be increased in the vertical inline multistage pump.

Centrifugal pumps are the most commonly used kinetic-energy pumps in today’s world. For a high degree of energy efficiency and a flexible range of configurations, a centrifugal pump is the best choice. In a centrifugal pump, the mechanical energy is converted into pressure energy by means of a centrifugal force acting on the fluid.

The flow in the centrifugal pump is in the outward and radial direction. The centrifugal pumps are widely used for the pumping of a wide range of fluids. A simple pump consists of a rotating impeller, a casing, a suction pipe and a discharge pipe. Centrifugal pumps are used in many applications and across many industries. Some of the commercial, municipal, industrial and scientific fields they are widely used in our oil and energy companies, refineries, power plants. From air conditioning to chemical processing units to cryogenics and refrigerants, centrifugal pumps have numerous applications.

One of the major reasons why the design of a centrifugal pump is successful is that the pump is effective and relatively inexpensive to produce. It has the option of including multiple impellers on a single shaft, in case of a multistage centrifugal pump or a single impeller, in case of a single stage centrifugal pump.

High pressures can be achieved if required by including multiple impellers within one casing. Configuring several stages in series can prove to be economical for increasing the head- the maximum height (pressure) it can deliver. In this way, the configuration of the same pump can be changed according to the changing needs of the user.

Due to the option of using impellers having a smaller diameter than usual, this pump proves to be very efficient. Less motor power is required in this case leading to less energy consumption that can further reduce the cost of operation. Maintenance of the centrifugal pump is very easy and the damages, that occur rarely, can be fixed without hassles.

Centrifugal pump distributors usually have pumps in different set-ups, since pumps can be designed while keeping in mind- the space available for the installation. Vertical and horizontal are the two types of set-ups available, according to the need of the customer.

Thus, centrifugal pumps provide countless benefits, from energy savings to different configurations. VEMC, channel partners of Kirloskar water pumps, are among the well-known centrifugal pump distributors who offer a variety of pumps according to the customer’s needs, ranging from back pull out pumps to horizontal split casing centrifugal pump to multistage centrifugal pumps.

Multistage centrifugal pumps – For high efficiency with a flexible range of flow and head

by katlyngrandi2 -

Centrifugal pumps are the most commonly used kinetic-energy pumps in today’s world. A multistage horizontal pump can be thought of as a series of single stage pumps- all mounted on one shaft. Multistage technology offers several advantages over traditional single stage pumps when used to pump liquids that do not contain solids. VEMC brings you 5 reasons why a multistage centrifugal pump is a much better choice for your needs!

  1. Economical- High pressures can be achieved when multiple impellers are present on a common shaft within the same casing, in a single centrifugal pump. It is a more economical approach to develop high pressures with a single motor. Configuring several stages in series can also be economical for increasing the head- the maximum height (pressure) it can deliver.

  2. Efficiency- A multistage pump is designed in such a way that impellers with smaller diameters can be used, which allows them to operate at a higher efficiency level than the majority of the single stage pumps. They also have tighter clearances for higher performance. Less motor power requirement can be expected with this design as only one motor is used leading to less energy expenditure, which in turn proves to be economical.

  3. Design- With decreased energy requirement, the size of the motor needed to drive the multistage pump is often considerably smaller than the motor required to drive a single stage pump. Multistage pumps can also be designed according to the space available for installation. Horizontal multistage pumps can be used in places where the area can be spared and the vertical assembly is great for areas that don’t have a lot of space to spare. Moreover, vertical pumps have the ability to deliver high pressure output with a single pump body and motor combo.

  4. Usage- The multistage pump has the facility of being tapped down a stage, or, the dummy stages can be incorporated for future pressure increments. Thus, a multistage pump also provides a provision for changing certain specifications like flow and head according to the changing needs of the user.

  5. Maintenance- While installation cost is more, running cost are prone to be less than single stage centrifugal pumps. Hence, the multistage centrifugal pump can be thought of as an investment that brings good returns, not only in terms of reduced running costs but also highly efficient output!

Multistage pumps provide many benefits, from energy savings to ability to operate in a wide range of flow/head scenarios. If you think it is the right choice for your desired use, be sure of your decision by discussing it with a qualified engineer before installation.

Purchasing a pump is a crucial task which is easily overlooked by maximum people because the smallest problem in the pump can lead to very big problems. If the operating system of the pump does not work properly, eventually the maintenance costs increase immensely and lots of energy is lost as well.

Inefficient designs lead to poor flow control, leakage, corrosion and cavitation among various other damages. Kirloskar centrifugal pumps, available at VEMC provide you the most efficient centrifugal pumps for your needs. To ensure ideal fluid flow Kirloskar has adapted its models to suit more specific needs of different kinds of fluids and their requirements in different sectors.

The working of centrifugal pumps is very easy to understand, as they simply utilize the kinetic energy of the motor to cause motion of liquids. The engine is attached to an axis, which in turn helps to rotate pump impeller, and thus this rotation helps the water to flow through the pump. Additional uses of centrifugal pumps, other than for water, include for petroleum, chemicals and even sewage.

Kirloskar Centrifugal pumps have their simplicity as the biggest advantage, as no extra valves or moving parts are not required for fluid flow, because of which it can easily be made from different materials as well.
