Glossary
Glossary
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.
Energy-saving mode
Setting designed to avoid the energetically
inefficient operation of a pump at minimum water
consumption.

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.

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

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.

The expected total sound pressure level of 51dB(A) for this configuration may

Depending on the model, the following items are included in the scope of supply:
▪ 2 or 3 vertical high-pressure centrifugal pumps with oval flange
