FlowFriend HP Pond Pump
The Flow Friend HP pump are way ahead in terms of pumping water energy efficiently. The Flow Friend HP (high Pressure) already today meets the highest MEI category of over 0.7.
The MEI – Minimum Efficiency Index category is related to the efficiency of the motor, as well as the pump’s hydraulics and a directive was developed in 2012 to mandate the energy efficiency of water pumps.
To underline this extraordinary accomplishment, the EU has mandated a minimum MEI of 0.4 as compulsory effective July 2014
FlowFriend HP Pond Pump Product Features:
- Extremely energy efficient
- Standard ow/rpm controls
- Optional 0-10V control
- High flows at low energy consumption
- Extremely quiet
- Highly efficient new generation of permanent magnet motor
- 3 different optimised pump housings, cast completely of stainless steel grade 316
- Optimal adjustment for versatile application
- Premium efficiency IE4 motor
- Can be used anywhere in the world ranging from 100-240V/50-60Hz
The motor speed (600-2,550 rpm) can be adjusted as standard with every type of Flow Friend. The pump includes a display for this purpose that also shows power consumption and hours of operation. Every Flow Friend can also be controlled externally via an optional 0-10V port. The major benefit of permanent magnet motors compared to frequency controlled asynchronous motors is the remarkably high efficiency at low rpm. However, even at higher rpm, these pumps are significantly more efficient.
Ingenious pump housings.
A pump’s hydraulics consist of the pump’s rotor and the pump’s housing. The Flow Friend’s hydraulics are entirely made of cast 316 stainless steel. Robust, smooth and a perfect shape to keep internal losses to a minimum.
The Hydrauilcs of the FlowFriend pond pump determine the pump’s total efficiency for the large part but also determine the pump’s suitability for a particular use
The FlowFriend HP Standard Pond Pump
The standard FlowFriend has a mixed- ow pump housing, a type that is also often used at pumping stations. Its optimal field of application is for a pump lift of between 1 and 5 metres. The hydraulics have been designed such that greater pressure is available than with an axial (propeller) pump. As a result, significantly less energy is used in comparison to pumps of similar capacity.
Almost all pumps with high capacity have more than 10 metres of pressure. This high available pressure uses a great deal of energy. If there is higher back pressure to any extent, resulting for example from longer hose lengths, numerous bends and difference in height, then this ‘standard’ FlowFriend is the optimal choice. The FlowFriend has a 3” screw thread connection at both the suction and the pressure sides.
Motor and seal
The FlowFriend HP Pump has a very high-quality Eagle Burgmann shaft seal. The motor has been designed in-house and is manufactured by one of Germany’s largest and most important producers of electrical motors. The motor’s efficiency, depending on the RPMs, is between 88% and 94%.
Stunning Quality Pumps both in build quality and performance.
