BELL & GOSSETT®
INTRODUCES NEW 70X PRESSURE BOOSTING SYSTEM
Morton Grove, IL -- May 12, 2004
| Bell & Gossett has introduced
the new 70X variable speed pumping system for pressure booster applications. 70X packages
are designed to provide low initial cost, outstanding reliability, and lower life cycle
cost. Using the latest proven software technology, the 70X introduces the concept of
combining a variable speed lead pump with one or two constant speed lag pumps. The 70X
allows the operation of multiple pumps in parallel, discharging into a common header that
supplies a domestic water piping system. Variable speed pumping allows the discharge
pressure of the pump to precisely match the actual system requirement.
A typical 70X package includes up to three vertically mounted Bell & Gossett
Series1531 pumps with a check valve on the discharge of the variable speed pump, and one
or two constant speed lag pumps, each with a pressure reducing valve. In common
installations, such as multi-level buildings and schools, the system adapts to water needs
as they vary over the course of the day and throughout the changing seasons.
The 70X system is controlled by the Bell & Gossett Technologic 500X pump controller
that combines a variable speed drive and pump controller. The Technologic 500X uses a
combination of kW, pressure and speed to calculate the most efficient operation and
maintain a pre-programmed set point. |

With its variable speed lead pump, the new 70X can obtain energy
savings unmatched by a constant speed booster. The energy and operating cost savings with
the use of the 70X variable/constant pressure boosting system can often produce a payback
of energy cost within a year. Designed with ease of
installation in mind, the 70X requires only suction and discharge connections and one
power connection. It also requires minimal floor space and can be transported easily
through doorways, making it ideal for retrofitting. |
