Accumulator
The accumulator serves to compensate for
pressure losses in the piping system downstream
of the pressure booster system which may be
caused by the consumption of small quantities of
water. As a result, the frequency of starts of the
pressure booster system is minimised.
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.
Charging the accumulator
Option offered by speed-controlled pressure
booster systems of filling a discharge-side
accumulator before the last pump stops.

6Baseplate
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 K:
Either 2 or 3 pumps are controlled and monitored by a micro-processor 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+ deltap) 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 (live-zero).
This ensures equal distribution of pump operating hours.
If a duty pump fails, the next pump is started up immediately. A fault is output,
which can be reported via volt-free contacts (e.g. to the control station).
The operating status is displayed via LEDs.
▪ Green: system ready for operation
▪ Yellow: warning

2 volt-free contacts on terminals are provided for reporting warnings and alerts.
KSB Delta Primo VP, SVP:
Either 1 or more pumps are controlled and monitored by a micro-processor 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
16 of 60
KSBDeltaPrimo
Page 17
5 Description
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
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.
The operating status is displayed via LEDs.

▪ Yellow: warning
▪ Red: alert
2 volt-free contacts on terminals are provided for reporting warnings and alerts.
5.6 Noise characteristics
The pressure booster systems are available with different numbers of pumps and
different pump sizes.
Therefore, the expected total sound pressure level in dB(A) needs to be calculated.
1. Refer to the pumps' operating manual for the noise characteristics of the
individual pumps.
2. Calculate the expected total sound pressure level.

6.1 Installation
Install pressure booster systems either in the technical equipment room or in a wellventilated, frost-free, lockable room used for no other purpose. No harmful gases are
allowed to enter the installation room. An adequately sized drain (leading to a sewer
or equivalent) must be provided.
The pressure booster system is designed for a maximum ambient temperature of 0°C
to +40°C1) at a relative humidity of 50%.
NOTE
Do not install pressure booster systems next to sleeping or living quarters.
The anti-vibration mounting of the pressure booster system provides adequate
insulation against solid-borne noise. If expansion joints (see accessories) are used for
damping vibrations, their fatigue strength (endurance limit) must be given due
consideration. Expansion joints must be easily replaceable.
6.2 Checks to be carried out prior to installation
Place of 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 EN206-1.
▷ The mounting surface must have set and must be completely horizontal and
even.
▷ Observe the weights indicated.
NOTE
The anti-vibration mounts of the pressure booster system provide adequate

KSBDeltaPrimo
19 of 60
Page 20
6 Installation at Site
NOTE
In order to avoid transmission of piping forces onto the pressure booster system
and transmission of solid-borne noise, we recommend installing length-limited
expansion joints.
Allow sufficient space for maintenance and repair work.
ü All structural work required has been checked.
ü The 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: 12mm).
3. Insert plug fixings of appropriate size.
4. Set the pressure booster system down in its correct installation position.
5. Use suitable bolts to firmly anchor the pressure booster system.
6.4 Connecting the piping
Make sure that piping is installed without transmitting any stresses or strains. The use
of length-limited expansion joints (KSB accessory) is advisable.
6.4.1 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
Leaking expansion joint
Flooding of installation room!
▷ Regularly check for cracks or blisters, exposed fabric or other defects.
ü The 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.
20 of 60
6.4.2 Installing a pressure reducer
NOTE
A pipe length of approximately 600 mm must be provided on the inlet side to
accommodate a pressure reducer, if necessary.
KSBDeltaPrimo
Page 21
6 Installation at Site
NOTE
A pressure reducer must be installed
- if the inlet pressure fluctuation is too high for the pressure booster system to
operate as intended or
- if the total pressure (inlet pressure plus shut-off head) of the pressure booster
system exceeds the design pressure.
The maximum pump discharge pressure at zero flow point is reached in manual
mode.
A minimum pressure gradient of 5 metres is required for the pressure reducer to
fulfill its function. The pressure downstream of the pressure reducer (downstream
pressure) is the basic parameter for determining the pump head.
For example:
The inlet pressure fluctuates between 4 and 8 bar. A pressure reducer is needed
upstream of the pressure booster system on the inlet side.

8.1.13 Energy-saving mode
In energy-saving mode (-> Parameter 3-11 ff.) the energetically inefficient operation
of a single pump at minimum water consumption can be reduced.
CAUTION
Hunting (excessive starting/stopping) of pressure booster system
Damage to the pumps!
▷ Only activate the energy-saving mode if a sufficiently sized accumulator is fitted
on the discharge side.
NOTE
No recommendation can be given for the parameters of the energy-saving mode.
The values depend on the system installed and can only be defined at the
operational pressure booster system installed on site.
Making settings:
1.Close the discharge-side shut-off valve slowly until only a single pump is left
running and delivering a small amount of water.
2.Read the pump load in parameter 1-1-2.
3.Activate "Charge accumulator" in parameter 3-5-4. (ðSection8.1.12,Page38)
4.Set parameter 3-11-1 to "ON".
5.Set parameter 3-11-2, "Direct OFF", to "ON".
The setting "OFF" (flow detection) should only be selected for difficult site
conditions and by an expert.
6.Enter the value read under item 2 in parameter 3-11-3.
7.Set parameter 3-11-4 to define the period the pump is to keep on running in
order to charge the accumulator before stopping.
8.Keep changing parameters 3-11-3 and 3-11-4 to obtain the required pump
stopping behaviour.
8.1.14 Flow detection
When only one pump is operated, the control unit checks whether a liquid volume is
being pumped. To this end, the rotational speed is reduced slightly every 10 seconds.
If the control unit detects that the actual value is within a settable bandwidth (->
parameter 3-4-3-5-1) during a settable period (-> parameter 3-4-3-5-2), the "Charge
accumulator" function is carried out and the pump stops.

8.1.15 Connecting the ambient temperature monitoring device (option)
If ambient temperature monitoring has been selected under parameter 3-3-4, WSD, a
Pt1000 sensor must be connected. The ambient temperature can be read on the
display.
A warning can be output if a set temperature has been exceeded, see parameter
3-4-4-3.
NOTE
This function cannot be used in conjunction with digital inputs for remote reset,
setpoint changeover and check run!

9.2.1 Supervision of operation
CAUTION
Increased wear due to dry running
Damage to the pump set!
▷ Never operate the pump set without liquid fill.
▷ Never close the shut-off element in the suction line and/or supply line during
pump operation.
CAUTION
Impermissibly high temperature of fluid handled
Damage to the pump!
▷ Prolonged operation against a closed shut-off element is not permitted
(heating up of the fluid).
▷ Observe the temperature limits in the data sheet and in the section on
operating limits.
While the system is in operation, observe and check the following:
▪ Check the test run (if activated).
▪ Compare the start and stop pressures of the pumps with the data on the name
plate (using the pressure gauge).
▪ Compare the pre-charge pressure of the accumulator with the recommended
data. (ðSection9.2.3,Page42)
Close the shut-off elements under the accumulator and drain the accumulator via
the drain valve.
Remove the protective cap of the accumulator valve and check the pre-charge
pressure with the aid of a tyre pressure gauge.
Add nitrogen as necessary.
WARNING
Wrong gas
Danger of poisoning!
▷ Use only nitrogen to charge the accumulator.
▪ Check the rolling element bearings for running noises.
Vibrations, noise and an increase in current input occurring during unchanged
operating conditions indicate wear.

9.2.2 Checklist for inspection work
In the event that you decide to conduct your own inspections, proceed according to
the following checklist at least once a year:
1.Check the pump and drive for smooth running and the mechanical seal for
integrity.
2.Check the shut-off, drain and check valves for proper functioning and tightness.
3.Clean the strainer in the pressure reducer (if applicable).
4.Check the expansion joints (if any) for wear.
5.Verify the pre-charge pressure and, if required, check the accumulator for
integrity. (ðSection9.2.3,Page42)
6.Check the automatic switching functionality.
7.Check the start and stop points of the pressure booster system.
8.Check the water inflow, lack-of-water monitoring and pressure reducer.
9.2.3 Setting the pre-charge pressure
WARNING
Wrong gas
Danger of poisoning!
▷ Use only nitrogen to charge the accumulator.
The pre-charge pressure in the accumulator should be set to a value below the set
start-up pressure.
The setting can be effected via a valve located under the cover at the top of the
accumulator.
Example: Pre-charge pressure 10% lower than start-up pressure
Pre-charge pressure of accumulator p=0.9xp
p
= start-up pressure of pressure booster system
start
start
Recommendation
The stated values are average values. Tests on accumulators have shown that the best
storage volumes are achieved with the following factors:
pressures >3bar: factor0.9 and
pressures <3bar: factor0.8
Example:
p
= 5 bar: pre-charge pressure 5x0.9=4.5bar
start
p
=2bar: pre-charge pressure 2x0.8=1.6bar
start
CAUTION
Pre-charge pressure too high
Damage to accumulator!
▷ Observe data provided by accumulator manufacturer (see name plate or
operating manual of accumulator).
