The Belamos water supply station is needed on those highways where simple pressure equipment cannot handle it. The devices are capable of providing water not just one, but several houses, which is why they are often used for farms. They are used for watering large cottages - in all those cases when the level of water consumption exceeds standard volumes.
Device and principle of operation
All Belamos pumping units are equipped with a hydraulic accumulator, pressure electro-relay, pressure gauge and thermal protection device. They work according to the following scheme:
- When water enters the accumulator, separated by a membrane, the compartment intended for it is filled.
- Due to air compression in the second chamber, an increase in pressure occurs.
- As soon as the required volume of fluid is pumped, the pump automatically stops working.
After the pumping equipment is turned off, the water supply is carried out due to the water accumulated in the hydraulic tank. When the pressure drops to the minimum value, the relay starts the station, and the pump pumps liquid into the tank. If the amount of water consumption is small, the pressure head device will not turn on when the tap is opened. It will work only when the pressure drops to the minimum value. Pressure head adjustment is possible in the range of 0.5–4.5 bar.
If the power goes out, the battery retains a certain water supply. Stations are available with 20 l and 100 l hydraulic tanks.
Automated water supply systems are equipped with induction motors, which are enclosed in oil baths. This contributes to better cooling of the device, so that it works great even at 35 degrees Celsius.
The use of the pump installation allows you to reduce the number of on and off of the pump, thereby increasing its operating period and reducing electricity consumption.
Specifications of popular models
The range allows you to choose a model suitable for individual conditions at a reasonable price. First of all, attention is paid to the marking: the XP and XA series include pumps with cast iron bodies, XK - speaks of the use of high-strength plastic, and XI - speaks of stainless steel.
The characteristics of the most popular station reviews are slightly different:
- Belamos XA 06 ALL is able to work for a long time. Stability is provided by special legs. Equipped with an ejector, but does not have protection against dry start. Productivity - 47 liters per minute, immersion depth - 8 meters.
- Belamos ХК 09 Е is equipped with an electronic control unit that monitors automated operation. The device weighs little, it is convenient to carry it thanks to a special handle. Productivity - 47 liters per minute, immersion depth - 8 meters. A non-return valve is not included, but experts advise to supply it.
- Belamos XI 08 ALL is capable of withstanding significant loads and is designed for uninterrupted operation. The battery capacity is 24 liters. Productivity - 50 liters per minute, immersion depth - 8 meters. There is an ejector, not equipped with dry start protection.
- Belamos ХА 111 ALL is characterized by increased power, long uninterrupted operation. Immersion depth - 8 meters, productivity - 58 liters per minute. There is an ejector and an automatic shutdown device when overheating, there is no protection against dry start.
High throughput capacity - 3.6 m3 / h, compactness, economical energy consumption and operation from an ordinary electric network made installations popular for country houses and small and medium-sized enterprises.
Advantages and disadvantages
The equipment has the following advantages:
- reliability and durability;
- high productivity;
- the ability to pump liquid to a height of up to 70 meters;
- easy installation;
- modern design;
- pumping water from a depth of at least 8 meters;
- reasonable cost;
- work in a fully automated mode.
Pumping stations have the necessary certification and fully comply with all requirements of GOST.
Reviews about Belamos brand pumping stations are mostly positive. The owners are pleased with the good pressure, engine endurance, low noise, convenient location of the hole for pouring water.
However, users also note the disadvantages: the exactingness of connecting the gates. If you save on inclusions, the pressure jumps back and forth, and the station does not pull a double-circuit boiler.
Operation and maintenance of plants is not difficult. However, all devices are superficial, respectively, it is necessary to insulate hoses and pipelines in the cold season. For the winter period, it is necessary to bring the device into a heated room or initially install it in a warm room.
