BOOSTER PUMP PACKAGE

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

INS 61301607027 Rev A US
A booster pump package is available for sterilizer installations where the
cold water supply pressure is at least 30 psig dynamic but less than 45 psig
dynamic. When energized, the pump increases the cold water supply
pressure to the sterilizer, providing the necessary pressure required for
normal sterilizer operation (see Figure 6–1, Sheet 5 on page 6–6).
NOTE
The booster pump must be installed before connecting the cold water
supply to the sterilizer.
The customer must provide a location for installing the pump and junction
box as well as fastening hardware for mounting the pump and junction box.
The following plumbing connections (provided by the customer) are
required:
• a plumbing connection between the discharge orifice of the booster
pump and the water supply inlet orifice (i.e., strainer) of the sterilizer.
This connection must include a pressure gauge.
• a plumbing connection between the suction orifice of the booster
pump and the customer's water supply (a union is recommended for
this connection).
• a shutoff valve in the water supply line at the sterilizer site.
The following electrical connections (provided by the customer) are
required:
• Electrical supply as indicated on the roughing-in drawing.
• Electrical connection to the booster pump junction box per code
requirements.
Figures 5–6 through 5–12 show a typical installation of the booster pump
package. The actual configuration will depend on the desired location of
the pump and its I/F (interface) box (by customer), as well as the particular
structure of the sterilizer and the sterilizer site.
