New MiniSpeed Variable Speed
Pressure Booster System Introduced by Bell & Gossett
Morton Grove, IL -- January 16, 2003.
| Bell & Gossett has introduced a new
MiniSpeed Series booster system, designed to provide low cost, variable speed boosting for
applications where extra pressure is needed. The compact MiniSpeed system combines Bell
& Gossett’s Technologic 500 Pump Logic Controller technology and B&G’s
MiniBooster pumping package to boost pressure where sufficient pressure is not available
or elevation is a problem. The variable speed capability of the system provides stable
water supply with little or no fluctuation in pressure - leading to steady pressure and
temperature at building fixtures, with the added benefits of energy savings and lower life
cycle costs. The variable speed capability of this pressure booster enhances existing
pump performance in a wide range of multi-family residential and light commercial
installations. Typical installations for this product include restaurants, light
commercial applications, apartment and condominium buildings, and small office parks. |

| The easy to install and maintain system is available in
one- and two-pump configurations, with simplex capacities from 20 to 110 GPM at a boost of
20 to 55 psig, and a duplex capacity that reaches 220 GPM.
Both the one- and two-pump MiniSpeed systems automatically adjust to system
requirements, operating with variable speed to eliminate fluctuations in system pressure.
The duplex models provide automatic alternation to permit even pump usage, and to stage
pumps based on demand, or units can be sized to act as 100% standby. In addition, the Lag
pump will start automatically, upon failure of the lead pump, and pump failure is
indicated at the panel.

1 or 2 pump configuration |

20-110 GPM (simplex) and 220 GPM (duplex) |
