When Pressurised just call Smedegaard the Pressurisation system experts

Listen to this article

Smedegaard Pumps limited manufacture and supply what is ‘probably’ the largest range of pressurisation equipment for LTHW, MTHW and CWS systems.

The standard ECO and Elite pressurisation units are primarily designed for commercial systems and are used with Expansion Vessels. The units can be free standing or walls mounted, and are Category 5 compliant. Elite units are fitted with system ‘safe fill’ packs allow the units to fill the closed loop system.

Spill Press Steel Tank (left-angle)For applications such as very large volume, high rise, higher temperature systems or where the final working pressure of the system must be similar to cold fill pressure then the SpillPress units offer the ideal solution. The compactness of the SpillPress units may also be a great advantage where the available floor space is limited. SpillPress tanks are designed to accept the full expansion of the system; level control is fitted as standard. All tanks have an overflow and spill over weir to give a WRc Category 5 compliant type AB air gap.

A full digital control panel is fitted to the unit which gives an audible and visual alarm indication with mute, password protection and hours run log and has volt free contacts for BMS connection.

SpillPress are split into three distinct ranges each providing the optimum engineered solution.

SPILLPRESS COMPACT
The “Compact” range consists of the pump and control module mounted together with the spill tank on a common base plate. Peripheral turbine pumps in twin configuration are normally used in the range. However, other pumps can also be offered to suit specific requirements. The spill tanks are available in three sizes to accept 400 litres, 600 litres or 1000 litres of expansion. Solenoid valves are utilised as spill valves on this range.

SPILLPRESS MODULAR
The “Modular” range consists of the pump and control module on a common baseplate and the spill tank supplied loose. Usually two vertical multistage pumps are fitted but there is the option for a third pump. Self acting spill valves are utilised with this range but solenoid valves can also be fitted to this range. “Modular” packages can accept expansion of up to 11875 litres and is suitable for use with boilers of up to 12000 kW at 90°C.

The “Bespoke” range is designed and engineered for larger projects which exceed the capability of both the “Compact” and “Modular” packages. The “Bespoke” sets are designed and built to the client’s specific specifications with the aid of our in house expertise. The accompanying picture shows a “Bespoke” custom built pump and control package. Spill tanks with a capacity of 53,000 litres were provided with this package.

High Temperatures Applications
When operating the system above 95°C higher pressures will be required to eliminate vaporisation. Additionally intermediate cooling buffer vessels may be necessary. As the SpillPress for these applications is customised to specific needs, please contact the Smedegaard technical team for assistance when dealing with these system types.
