Product description

Grundfos SCALA2 pumps are all-in-one integrated pressure boosters designed for domestic use and ensure a constant supply of clean water to households, gardens and light commercial applications. Grundfos SCALA2 is a fully integrated, high-efficiency, self-priming pressure booster.

SCALA2 incorporates integrated speed control, enabling constant water pressure at the taps. The electronically controlled inverter limits the starting and operating currents, providing soft starts and high energy savings. The water-cooled motor and pump design offer a very low noise level down to 44 dB(A) in typical usage. SCALA2 is equipped with an integrated sensor that measures the pressure discharged from the pump. The sensor sends a signal to the pump control and compares the measured pressure level with the desired pressure level, which is the pressure set according to the homeowner's needs.

SCALA2 pumps are recommended for the following applications:

pressure boosting of city mains water

pressure boosting of water from roof tank

pressure boosting of water from break tank

pressure boosting of water from ground tank

water supply from shallow wells [8 m (26.2 ft)]

garden irrigation

water transfer.

These pumps are designed to provide reliable, efficient, and sustainable solutions for various heating and cooling applications, ensuring optimal performance and reduced energy consumption through its permanent magnet motor and variable speed drive (VSD).

Interpretation

All calculated indicators were analyzed to check for consistency, trends, etc. in the results. The interpretation of the core environmental impact indicators is described here.

The trend of all indicators was clear.

The major contributors are generally B6 and A1-A3. Regardless of whether B6 of 10 years or 1 year is depicted, the use stage impact contributes significantly to the total impact. B6 impacts are entirely related to electricity consumption during the use stage.

Contributions to A1-A3 in terms of materials, transport, and energy are illustrated in the Grunfos LCA background report. The major contributors are the Steels and Electronics material fractions. It should be noted that the Energy accounted is merely energy for the final assembly; energy spent in sourcing materials and machining the individual components is inherent in the material fractions.

A detailed analysis of the electronics materials fraction clarified that impacts are primarily (>90%) due to the main populated wiring boards (PWB).
