Glossary
Accumulator
Pressure losses may occur in the piping
downstream of the pressure booster system as a
result of losses due to leakage. The accumulator
serves to compensate for pressure losses and
minimises the frequency of starts of the pressure
booster system.
Certificate of decontamination
A certificate of decontamination is enclosed by the
customer when returning the product to the
manufacturer to certify that the product has been
properly drained to eliminate any environmental
and health hazards arising from components in
contact with the fluid handled.
Dry running protection
Dry running protection devices prevent the pump
from being operated without the fluid to be
handled, which would result in pump damage.
Energy-saving mode
Setting designed to avoid the energetically
inefficient operation of a pump at minimum water
consumption.
Filling the accumulator
Function to fill a (discharge-side) accumulator; it
prevents pump sets from starting if only a very
small amount of water (e.g. caused by leakage) is
required.
IE3
Efficiency class to IEC60034-30: 3=Premium
Efficiency (IE = International Efficiency)
Manual mode
Direct operation on the power supply network,
independently of the control unit.
Switchgear and controlgear assembly
Control cabinet with one or several control units/
switchgears and electrical equipment.

Design Fully automatic pressure booster system with two or three vertical high-pressure
pumps (3) for ensuring the required supply pressure
Function KSB Delta Primo F:
Either two or three pumps are controlled and monitored by a microprocessor control
unit (BoosterControl Advanced). The first pump is started up when the pressure falls
below the set start-up pressure. Additional pumps are sequenced in automatically in
line with actual demand. When demand decreases, the pumps are sequenced out
again as the stop pressure (start-up pressure+ deltap) is reached. The pump that has
been started up first will be stopped first. The pumps are automatically started up in
a different order for each new cycle. The actual pressure is measured by an analog
pressure measuring device (pressure transmitter). The function of this pressure
transmitter is monitored (broken wire detection).
This ensures equal distribution of pump operating hours.
If a duty pump fails, the next pump is started up immediately. Via a volt-free contact
a general fault message can be transmitted (e.g. to the control station).
KSB Delta Primo VC, SVP
Either two or three pumps are controlled and monitored by a microprocessor control
unit (BoosterControl Advanced). Each pump is operated on a frequency inverter and
controlled by the control unit so as to ensure a constant discharge pressure of the
pressure booster system.
As the demand increases or decreases, peak load pumps are started and stopped
automatically. As soon as the demand increases again after one pump has been
stopped, another pump which has not been in operation before is started up. When
the last pump has been stopped and the demand increases again, the next pump in
line is started up on a frequency inverter. The stand-by pump is also included in the
alternating cycle.
The standard setting is for the pressure booster system to start automatically as a
function of pressure. As long as the pressure booster system is in operation, the
pumps are started and stopped as a function of demand (standard setting). In this

4 Description
17 of 80
KSBDeltaPrimo
1983.811/02-EN
way it is ensured that the individual pumps operate only in line with actual demand.
If the demand drops towards 0, the pressure booster system slowly runs down to the
stop point.

1 volt-free general contact is provided for reporting warnings and alerts.
4.7 Noise characteristics
The pressure booster system is available with different numbers and sizes of pumps.
For the noise characteristics refer to the operating manual of the pump set. To
calculate the expected total sound pressure level, add a defined value to the
individual pump set’s expected sound pressure level.
Table6: Values for calculating the total expected sound pressure level
Number of pump sets Value
dB(A)
2 + 3
3 + 4,5
4 + 6
5 + 7
6 + 7,5
Example Pressure booster system with 4 pump sets (value: + 6dB(A))
Single pump = 48dB(A)
48dB(A) + 6dB(A) = 54dB(A)
The expected total sound pressure level of 54dB(A) may develop when all 4 pump
sets are running under full-load conditions.

5.1 Installation
WARNING
Installation on mounting surfaces which are unsecured and cannot support the
load
Personal injury and damage to property!
▷Use a concrete of compressive strength class C12/15 which meets the
requirements of exposure class X0 to EN206-1.
▷The mounting surface must have set and must be completely horizontal and
even.
▷Observe the weights indicated.
NOTE
Do not install pressure booster systems next to sleeping or living quarters.
NOTE
The anti-vibration mounts provide adequate insulation against solid-borne noise.
Before beginning with the installation check the following:
▪All structural work required has been checked and prepared in accordance with
the dimensions in the outline drawing.
▪The pressure booster system can be operated on the power supply network in
accordance with the data on the name plate.
▪The place of installation is frost-free.
▪The place of installation can be locked.
▪The place of installation is well-ventilated.
▪A suitably dimensioned drain connection (e.g. leading to a sewer) is available.
▪If expansion joints are used, take note of its creep resistance. Expansion joints
must be easily replaceable.
The pressure booster system is designed for a maximum ambient temperature of 0°C
to +40°C2) at a relative humidity of 50%.
5.2 Installing the pressure booster system
WARNING
Top-heavy pressure booster system
Risk of personal injury by pressure booster system tipping over!
▷Pressure booster systems awaiting final installation must be secured against
tipping over.
▷Firmly anchor the pressure booster system.

NOTE
To prevent the transmission of piping forces and solid-borne noise, installing
expansion joints with length-limiters is recommended.
üThe pressure booster system’s packaging has been removed.
üA suitable installation site has been selected that meets the requirements.
üSufficient clearance in all directions is provided for servicing work.
1. Mark out the anchoring holes on the floor as shown in the outline drawing.
2. Drill the holes (max. diameter: 12mm).
3. Insert plug fixings of appropriate size.
4. Place the pressure booster system in its correct installation position.
5. Use suitable bolts to firmly anchor the pressure booster system.
5.3 Mounting the accumulator
CAUTION
Dirt in the pressure booster system
Damage to the pump sets!
▷Clean the accumulator before filling it.
üThe original operating manual of the pressure booster system is on hand.
1. Mechanically and electrically connect the accumulator in accordance with the
original operating manual supplied.
5.4 Connecting the piping
CAUTION
Air pockets in suction line
Pressure booster system cannot prime!
▷Lay the pipe with a continuously rising slope.

Fig.4: Correct piping connection
1 Suction lift operation
1. Mechanically support the suction head line on site to provide for absorption of
mechanical forces.
2. Install the piping without transmitting any stresses and strains.
3. Connect the piping to the distribution lines on the inlet side and discharge side.
