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.
Automatic mode
The pump is started and stopped as a function of
pressure or via a contact at the wall hydrant.
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.
Manual mode
In manual mode, the pressure booster system is
operated directly on mains power, independently
of the control unit.

Design
Function
Automatic mode
Function
Manual mode
The fully automatic pressure booster system is equipped with a non-self-priming
vertical high-pressure pump (1) for pumping the fluid handled to the consumer
installations in the set pressure range.
The pump is started and stopped as a function of pressure by a fully automatic
control unit. If the pressure drops below the set start-up pressure p
started up via the pressure switch.
When consumption decreases again, the pump is stopped as a function of pressure
after the set after-run period (up to 3 minutes).
The pressure booster system can also be controlled via External ON/OFF signals,
independently of the pressure switch.
A manual-0-automatic selector switch is provided at the switchgear and controlgear
assembly. When the switch is set to "manual", the pump operates directly on mains
power, independently of the automatic system (pressure switch or External ON/OFF).
NOTE
Continuous manual mode is reserved exclusively for emergencies!
Continuous operation of the pressure booster system in manual mode may result in
waste of energy and water.
In manual mode, a minimum flow (see table below) is essential to prevent the fluid
handled and the pump from overheating when no water is consumed at the
consumer installations.

allowed to enter the place of installation. An adequately sized floor 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°C at a relative humidity of 50%.
NOTE
Do not install pressure booster systems next to sleeping or living quarters.
If expansion joints (KSB accessory) are used for damping vibrations, their fatigue
strength (endurance limit) must be given due consideration. Expansion joints must be
installed to allow quick and easy replacement.
5.2 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
insulation against solid-borne noise.
1. Check the structural requirements.
All structural work required must have been prepared in accordance with the
dimensions stated in the outline drawing.
5.3 Installing the pressure booster system
WARNING
Top-heavy 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.
Hya-Solo D
Page 17
5 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.
5.4 Installing the piping
Make sure that piping is installed without transmitting any stresses or strains. The use
of length-limited expansion joints (see accessories) is recommended.
CAUTION
Air pockets in suction line
Pressure booster system cannot prime!
▷ Lay piping with a continuously rising slope (as shown).
Suction lift operation
IncorrectCorrect
NOTE
For suction lift operation install suitable swing check valves at the suction line ends
which are submerged in the fluid handled. Take into account the head losses
caused by these swing check valves.
Do not exceed the maximum suction lift of the pumps.
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.
Hya-Solo D
17 of 36
Page 18
5 Installation at Site
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.
5.4.2 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.
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.
Min. inlet pressure (p

Checklist for commissioning/inspection and maintenance (ðSection6.3,Page22)
8.2 Servicing/inspection
8.2.1 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:
▪ Verify the start-up pressure of the pumps (at the pressure gauge).
▪ Compare the pre-charge pressure of the accumulator with the recommended
data. (ðSection8.2.3,Page26)
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.
▪ Check the correct functioning of any auxiliary connections.
8.2.2 Checklist for inspection
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 flexible transmission elements for signs of wear.
3. Check the shut-off, drain and check valves for proper functioning and tightness.
4. Clean the strainer in the pressure reducer (if applicable).

5. Check expansion joints for wear (if applicable).
6. Verify the pre-charge pressure level and check the accumulator for integrity, ifrequired. (ðSection8.2.3,Page26)
7. Check the automatic switching functionality.
8. Check the start and stop points of the pressure booster system.
9. Check the correct function of the overall system and compare its performance
with the name plate data.
10. Check the water inflow, inlet pressure, lack-of-water monitoring, flow
monitoring and pressure reducer.
11. Check the inlet tank and the float valve (if applicable). Check the overflow for
integrity and cleanliness.
8.2.3 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).
