The Grundfos Hydro MPC is an advanced pressure boosting system designed for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, water treatment plants, district cooling systems, and municipal water supply networks.
At the heart of the system is the Grundfos CU 352 Multi Pump Controller, commonly known as the GENIbus Controller, which intelligently manages multiple pumps to maintain constant pressure, maximize energy efficiency, and ensure reliable operation under varying demand conditions. The Hydro MPC is available with 2 to 6 parallel-connected pumps and is supplied as a complete factory-assembled, pre-piped, pre-wired, and pre-tested package.
What is Grundfos Hydro MPC?
The Grundfos Hydro MPC is a packaged booster system that combines:
- Grundfos CR, CRE or CRIE Pumps
- Variable Speed Drives (VFD)
- Stainless Steel Manifolds
- Pressure Sensors
- Isolation Valves
- Non-Return Valves
- CU 352 Multi Pump Controller
- Intelligent GENIbus Communication Network
The system is designed to provide constant pressure while automatically adapting to changes in water demand throughout the day.
What is the Grundfos GENIbus Controller?
The GENIbus Controller is Grundfos’ proprietary communication and control platform that allows pumps, sensors, drives, and controllers to communicate as a single intelligent system.
In Hydro MPC systems, the CU 352 controller continuously monitors system conditions and automatically adjusts pump operation to achieve:
- Constant pressure control
- Energy optimization
- Automatic pump sequencing
- Duty and standby pump rotation
- Alarm monitoring
- Fault management
- Remote communication capabilities
The controller can manage up to six pumps simultaneously, making it suitable for complex water boosting applications.
Grundfos Hydro MPC Features & Benefits
Intelligent Pump Control
The CU 352 controller automatically:
- Starts and stops pumps
- Adjusts pump speed
- Balances operating hours
- Optimizes energy consumption
- Responds to changing demand
This helps improve efficiency while extending pump lifespan.
Energy Efficient Operation
The Hydro MPC utilizes:
- Variable speed technology
- Parallel pump operation
- Intelligent load sharing
- Demand-based control
This reduces energy consumption compared to traditional fixed-speed booster systems.
High Reliability
The system provides:
