Planning guide
Pressure reducer
Excessively high or strongly fluctuating inlet pressure requires the installation of a pressure reducer to maintain a constant minimum inlet pressure level. The maximum permissible fluctuation of the inlet pressure is 1.0 bar.
Volume flow
Up to 8 m3/h (111 l/s) system configuration according to DIN 1988 (EN 806); with standby pump up to 16 m3/h (133 l/s), with the standby pumps used for the peak-load operation.
Inlet pressure
The maximum inlet pressure (see Technical data) is to be observed for the system configuration. The maximum inlet pressure is calculated from the maximum unit working pressure minus the maximum pump delivery head at Q = 0.
Low-water cut-out switchgear (WMS)
According to DIN 1988 (EN 806), the installation of a low-water cut-out switchgear is required if the pressure boosting systems are connected directly to a public mains power supply; this prevents the inlet pressure in the mains supply line from dropping to values below 1.0 bar.
Standards/directives
The overall system meets the requirements of the following standards and guidelines:
- EN2006/42/EC
- EN2004/108/EC
- CEM 2004/108/EC
The requirements of the standard EN 806 and those of water supply companies must be met with regard to the electrical components.
The requirements of DIN 1988 (EN 806) are to be observed whenever the pressure boosting system is used or operated.
