The MEGACONTROL III B – 3P is a sophisticated, ready-to-install pressure boosting system or water supply unit. It is an EU model designed for commercial, industrial, and residential building applications where a reliable and constant water pressure is required.

The core of the system is a set of three pumps (3P) controlled by an advanced MEGACONTROL III frequency converter panel. This setup allows the system to automatically adjust its output to match the demand, ensuring energy efficiency, constant pressure, and protection for the pumps.

The code 7870350 is the specific manufacturer’s order or model number for this complete unit configuration.

Detailed Breakdown of the Components

1. MEGACONTROL III Control Panel

This is the “brain” of the system. It’s a microprocessor-based control unit that manages the operation of all three pumps.

• Frequency Inverters (VFDs): At least one, but typically multiple pumps are equipped with Variable Frequency Drives. This allows the controller to vary the speed (RPM) of the pumps.

• Cascade Control: The controller operates the pumps in a “lead-lag” or cascade sequence. It starts with one variable-speed pump (the “lead”) to meet small demands. If the demand increases beyond the capacity of the lead pump, it will start the second (“lag”) and then the third pump, adjusting their speeds as needed.

• Key Features:

  • Constant Pressure Control: Maintains a set pressure regardless of changes in water flow demand.

  • Energy Efficiency: By using speed control, it avoids the energy waste of traditional on/off or constant-speed systems.

  • Soft Starting: Gradually ramps up pump motor speed, reducing electrical stress and water hammer.

  • Motor Protection: Protects against dry running, overload, phase failure, and short circuits.

  • User Interface: Typically features a display for setpoints, operational status, pressure readings, and fault alarms.

2. “3P” – Three Pumps

The “3P” indicates the unit is a triplex system with three identical centrifugal pumps.

• Redundancy & Reliability: Having three pumps provides a high level of redundancy. If one pump fails or requires maintenance, the system can still operate with the remaining two, ensuring an uninterrupted water supply.

• Optimal Load Sharing: The control system rotates the duty cycle among the pumps, ensuring even wear and extending the overall lifespan of the system.

• Wide Operating Range: A 3-pump system can efficiently handle a very wide range of flow rates, from very low to maximum demand.

3. “B” – Pump Model Series

The “B” likely denotes a specific series or generation within DP Pumps’ product line. This series is known for its robust construction, high efficiency, and suitability for pressure boosting applications.

4. “EU” – European Version

This specifies that the unit is built to comply with European standards and directives, such as:

• Electrical safety standards (e.g., CE marking).

• Pressure Equipment Directive (PED).

• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive.

• It may also imply standard voltage (e.g., 400V / 50Hz).

5. Manufacturer: Duijvelaar Pompen / DP Pumps

A well-established and respected Dutch manufacturer of pumps and pumping systems, known for their quality and innovation in the field of water supply and pressure boosting.

Key Features and Benefits

• Constant Water Pressure: Delivers stable pressure for showers, taps, and appliances, eliminating pressure fluctuations.

• High Energy Efficiency: Speed-controlled pumps match energy consumption exactly to demand, leading to significant electricity savings.

• Extremely Reliable & Redundant: The triple-pump design ensures continuous operation even during pump failure or maintenance.

• Compact & Pre-Assembled: The unit is supplied as a skid-mounted, pre-wired, and pre-tested package, reducing installation time and cost.

• Quiet Operation: Variable speed drives and modern pump hydraulics contribute to low noise levels.

• Comprehensive Protection: Built-in safeguards for both the pumps and the motor.

Typical Applications

This system is designed for a wide range of applications where reliable water pressure is critical:

• Pressure Boosting in high-rise apartment buildings, hotels, and offices.

• Water Supply for residential complexes and commercial facilities.

• Industrial Water Circulation and process water supply.

• Irrigation Systems for parks and large gardens.

• Fire Fighting Booster Systems (in specific, certified configurations).
