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

system supplied is only valid if the equipment is used in accordance with its intended
use. (ðSection2.2,Page8)
2.9 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
2.9.1 Interference emission requirements
The EN61800-3 EMC product standard is relevant for electric variable speed drives/
control systems. It specifies all pertinent requirements and refers to the relevant
generic standards for complying with the EMC Directive.
Frequency inverters are commonly used by operators as a part of a system, plant or
machine assembly. It should be noted that the operator bears all responsibility for
the final EMC properties of the equipment, plant or installation.
A prerequisite or requirement for complying with the relevant standards or the limit
values and inspection/test levels referenced by them is that all information and
descriptions regarding EMC-compliant installation be observed and followed.
In accordance with the EMC product standard, the EMC requirements to be met
depend on the purpose or intended use of the frequency inverter. Four categories
are defined in the EMC product standard:
Table4: Categories of intended use
Category Definition Limits to EN55011
C1 Frequency inverters with a supply voltage under 1000V installed in the
first environment (residential and office areas).
Class B
C2 Frequency inverters with a supply voltage under 1000V installed in the
first environment (residential and office areas) that are neither ready to
be plugged in/connected nor are mobile and must be installed and
commissioned by specialist personnel.
Class A, Group 1
C3 Frequency inverters with a supply voltage under 1000V installed in the
second environment (industrial environments).
Class A, Group 2
C4 Frequency inverters with a supply voltage over 1000V and a nominal
current over 400A installed in the second environment (industrial
environments) or that are envisaged for use in complex systems.
No borderline/
boundary1)
The following limit values and inspection/test levels must be complied with if the
generic standard on interference emissions applies:
Table5: Classification of installation environment
Environment Generic standard Limits to EN55011
First environment (residential and office areas) EN/IEC61000-6-3
for private, business and commercial

6 Pump
Design The fully automatic pressure booster system pumps the fluid to the consumer
installations in the set pressure range using one non-self-priming horizontal high-
pressure pump (7).
The fully automatic pressure booster system pumps the fluid to the consumer
installations in the set pressure range using one or two non-self-priming horizontal
high-pressure pumps (7).
Function
Automatic mode
The pump is controlled and monitored by motor-mounted frequency inverters.
The standard setting is for the pressure booster system to start automatically as a
function of pressure; the actual pressure is measured by an analog pressure
measuring device (pressure transmitter).
The use of this variable speed pump significantly reduces wear as well as the
frequency of pump starts in parallel operation.
If a duty pump fails, a fault is output, which can be reported via volt-free contacts
(e.g. to the control station).
If the demand drops towards 0, the pressure booster system slowly runs down to the
stop point and stops.
The pressure booster system is designed with dry running protection.
If the pump has not been in operation for 24 hours, a test run is initiated.
Function
Manual mode
In manual mode, a minimum flow is required to protect the pump against
overheating.
4.6 Noise characteristics
For the noise characteristics refer to the operating manual of the pump (set).
4.7 Scope of supply
The following items are included in the scope of supply:
Pressure booster system
▪1 horizontal centrifugal pump with frequency inverter
▪Check valve
▪Discharge-side, direct-flow membrane-type accumulator

NOTE
The anti-vibration mounts of the pressure booster system provide adequate
insulation against solid-borne noise.
Thanks to level-adjustable feet (KSB accessory) the pressure booster system can also
be installed in a horizontal position on uneven floors.
1. All structural work required has been checked and prepared in accordance with
the dimensions in the outline drawing.
5.3 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.
Remove all packaging before installing the pressure booster system. Connect the
pressure booster system's inlet line and discharge line to the corresponding site
distribution lines.
NOTE
To prevent the transmission of piping forces and solid-borne noise, installing
expansion joints with length-limiters is recommended.
Allow sufficient space for maintenance and repair work.
üAll structural work required has been checked.
üThe dimensions of the concrete foundation are correct, and the concrete has set
firmly.
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.
5.4 Connecting the piping
CAUTION
Air pockets in suction line
Pressure booster system cannot prime!
▷Lay the pipe with a continuously rising slope.

Fig.3: 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.
NOTE
For single-pump systems, the shut-off valves must be fitted directly at the system's
suction-side connection and discharge-side connection, respectively. This will enable
straightforward replacement and servicing.
5.4.1 Fitting an expansion joint
DANGER
Sparks and radiant heat
Fire hazard!
▷Take suitable precautions to protect the expansion joint if any welding work is
carried out nearby.
CAUTION
Wet, contaminated or damaged openings and connections
Damage to the pressure booster system!
▷Do not open the pressure booster system openings until just prior to
installation.
üThe expansion joint has a length limiter with solid-borne sound insulation so as
to be able to absorb reaction forces.
1. Install the expansion joint in the piping free of twist or distortion. Never use the
expansion joint to compensate for misalignment or mismatch of the piping.
2. Tighten the bolts evenly and crosswise during assembly. The ends of the bolts
must not protrude from the flange.
3. Do not apply paint to the expansion joint. Protect it from any contact with oil.
4. The position of the expansion joint within the pressure booster system must
allow easy access and inspection and it must, therefore, not be insulated along
with the piping.
5. Expansion joints are subject to wear.
5.5 Installing unpressurised inlet tanks
Installation and location of an unpressurised inlet tank together with the pressure
booster system are governed by the same rules applicable to the pressure booster
system.
Install the closed tank (under atmospheric pressure) available from us as an accessory
as described in the installation instructions supplied with the tank.
