such, multiple design configurations can be engineered to meet customer requirements without compromise to
repair part inventories.
The entire performance range is covered by 4 mechanical sizes that hold 8 different hydraulics.

Multioutlet design
Pumps with more than one discharge outlet

Multistage pumps in multioutlet design can be fitted with a random number of discharge branches. The pumps
are mostly used in fire fighting applications to serve different pressure zones with different pressure levels.
Multioutlet configurations are available for all horizontal and vertical MP designs.

HYDROVAR, MPBH
HYDROVAR is a programmable pump control system which incorporates a frequency inverter
as well as control logic and is directly mounted on the pump motor.
Power range: from 1,5 to 22kW (split version up to 45kW)

Easy handling and installation, no separate switchboard required.

HYDROVAR is capable of controlling according to pressure, differential pressure or flow.

Control for constant pressure Control to match a system curve Control for constant flow

m Constant pressure control:

Pump stops immediately at zero flow.
m Following a system characteristic:
Without using any additional device the HYDROVAR adjusts the speed of the motor to follow a preset and
programmable system curve. System pressure is increased depending on the actual flow rate.
m Constant flow control:
The used sensor is either a flow meter or a differential pressure transmitter in combination with an orifice
plate. HYDROVAR is set according to the type of installed sensor and keeps the flow rate in the system
constant.
m Actuator mode:
HYDROVAR’S own logic section is frozen while a superior system only takes advantage of the frequency inverter
inside the HYDROVAR.
m External communication with HYDROVAR is possible via an RS 485
interface with Modbus RTU as standard.

m Multi pump systems:

The system is self-sufficient without the need of any
additional equipment:
- automatic cycling
- cut in / cut out pumps according to system demand
- changing of pumps in case of a failure

More detailed HYDROVAR catalogues available upon request.
