  • On demand district heating cuts costs
    Refurbishing an ageing district heating system in Constanta, Romania using new hot-water recirculation pumps, associated variable speed drives and other controls in a demand-based arrangement, has resulted in an improved supply quality, plus an optimized, energy-efficient operation – all with greater reliability.
  • Energy savings from inverter drives in the efficient building
    As our energy reserves dwindle while costs continue to rise and as the spectre of climate change looms ever larger, it becomes ever more imperative to take action on energy savings. Recent legislation is now making the route of no-action impossible. Danfoss' John Martin, strategic business area manager, HVAC put the case forward for intelligent inverter speed control of fans and pumps in buildings.

  • New heights reached in concrete pumping
    In April 2008, a new world record height of 606 m for pumping concrete was set on the Burj Dubai Tower in Dubai. Bryan Orchard looks at the high pressure peristaltic or piston pump technology behind this level of performance and the contribution that it can make to the latest generation of high-rise building projects.
  • Dosing pumps for sealing compounds
    The additives present in many modern sealing compounds, can be quite abrasive, and finding a dosing pump that can handle them without problems is more of a challenge than it used to be. However, there are reliable non-damaging solutions using a range of pump types.

Pressure boosting units for fire-fighting

24 July 2009

KSB has launched two automatic package pressure boosting units for fire-fighting systems.

Both the new Hya-Solo D FL single-pump unit and the Hya-Duo D FL dual-pump unit meet the criteria of the new DIN 14462 standard for fire-fighting water systems, which is valid since April 2009. The units have been designed for use in residential buildings as well as on commercial and industrial premises.

Their maximum flow rate is 110 m3 per hour, to a head of up to 160 m. The Hya-Duo D FL dual-pump unit features a stand-by pump and separate electric circuits.

The units are started up and switched off as a function of pressure and can be controlled via one or several remote ON-OFF limit switches at a wall hydrant. An optional flow-rate based control function makes it particularly easy to install the ready-to-plug-in package unit.
