Goulds Pumps “SPD” variable speed, constant pressure pump controller is designed for the professional pump installer. With application specific features and Goulds Pumps designed software, the SPD was developed specifically for commercial water boster systems. This variable speed controller goes beyond a “standard” drive, giving the pump professional a rugged design that is built for demanding conditions. Key Features and Benefits • Energy Saving → The Aquavar SPD (Single Pump Drive) is a true variable frequency controller which adjusts motor speed to match the hydraulic needs of the system to maintain pressure. Unlike valve controlled systems, the energy draw is substantially reduced during lower flow while keeping the pump close to its best efficiency. Up to 70% energy savings over fixed speed pumps are common. If you have flow rates that vary, there is opportunity to save energy versus a constant speed controlled pump! • Easy Set-up → Pre-set for surface motor characteristics. Pre-wired and tested transducer. Touch button pressure setting. No complicated menus or electrical jargon to cope with. Total set up time including wiring is less than 30 minutes. • NEMA 3R → Outdoor rated enclosure eliminates the need for separate cover panels required by competitive standard NEMA 1 enclosures. Rated for extreme temperatures (-22F to 122F)! • Dual Phase Input → The same drive can be used for either three phase or single phase input (de-rated). Both configurations are UL/CUL approved for flexibility. • Transducer → As with all Goulds drives, the pressure transducer is included with the drive so there is no need for separate sourcing and compatibility checks. The transducer is pre-wired and tested. • Full Diagnostics → In addition to typical electrical protection and diagnostics, the Aquavar SPD has a full range of pump protection features such as bound pump or motor shut down, low water or loss of prime shut down. These added features require no added input devices. • Program Security → The flashing LED status indicator will not fade in outdoor use the way competitor LCD screens do, and the internal single push button discourages tampering by untrained operating or maintenance personnel. • Remote on/off → Permits external control by timers (irrigation), float or pressure switches (tank draining) or manual control. Reduces the need for separate patch panels. • Hand/Auto Option → Allows the drive to be run full speed for longer periods of time as in the case of new well development or system start up. Turning the control back to auto resumes the automatic pressure tracking and control. • Remote Monitoring → External monitors may be connected by the user, to the drive for pump running speed (Hz), pump RUN, and system FAULT. The fault indicator can also be connected to devices like an auto-dialer. This enables control of pumps and drives in un-manned locations. • Pressure Drop → The reaction time of the drive to pressure drops can be adjusted from the typical 3-5 PSI drop to 20 PSI. This allows for smoother transitions and fewer starts when using a supply tank. • Dual Set Point → The Aquavar SPD has the capability to be programmed with two pressure set points. An external contact such as a timer can be used to change between them, so that a booster pump serving both a building and an irrigation system can do both jobs without manual resets. • Auto Reset → The Aquavar SPD provides automatic reset of most faults, including over/under voltage and loss of prime conditions. Typical Applications • Irrigation → Irrigation applications use both submersible and surface pumps about equally. The Aquavar SPD can control surface centrifugal pumps up to 30 HP. • Rural Water → Rural water districts often pump ground water from community wells with single pumps of less than 50 HP. Many have a single water tower, which limits system pressure during peak periods or at remote ends of the distribution system. The Aquavar SPD can automatically compensate for demand variations with surface boosters. • Building Booster → Commercial buildings of less than ten stories may require supplemental pressure to offset what is provided by the municipal system either on a permanent basis, or during periods of peak demand. • Municipal WTP → Water treatment plants use booster pumps for tank storage boosting, or chemical injection applications. The “SPD” provides a 4-20mA current signal based on speed control 0 – 60 Hz of the main booster. Units include a NEMA 3R Enclosure, an Output Filter rated for a maximum 1000' wire run, a 300 PSI (9K515) Pressure Transducer & a pre-wired transducer cable.
