The Flomatic Model C000/CA000 Main Valve from Flomatic Valves is a self-contained hydraulically operated, single diaphragm-actuated globe or angled body valve with no pilot controls. The valve has three major components: the body with a removable seat, the cover with bushing, and the diaphragm assembly. The diaphragm assembly is the only moving part. The cover forms a sealed chamber above the diaphragm to separate operating pressure from line pressure. Long service life and dependable operation are ensured due to packless construction.
The valve is designed for use with various types of pressure and/or electric controls to provide the desired control of pressure or flow for a variety of water system applications. The Flomatic Model C000/CA000 is the basic valve used for all Flomatic full-port automatic control valves. (www.flomatic.com)

The Grundfos high-efficiency IE5 motors and pumps with integrated frequency converter are designed for total control, customer convenience, and environmental sustainability. The company’s MGE E-motors exceed the IE5 requirements by more than 2 percent, with a motor efficiency of 95.7 percent at 380 V/2,600 rpm. The built-in application control in the MGE E-motors reduces the energy consumption of the pump and also optimizes the performance and efficiency of the entire system.
The permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are designed specifically for frequency converter operations and optimized for pump applications and high part-load efficiency. The PMSM also has a built-in frequency converter that enables variablespeed operation with benefits in pump applications ranging from energy savings, process control, extra functionalities, built-in motor protection, higher performance and more compact pumps, reduced water hammer due to long ramp times, and low starting currents.
