The electronically controlled pumps integrated into building automation can be controlled depending on needs. Their operating data can be retrieved at any time. This reduces the effort for maintenance and repair and increases the pump's service life. As a result, lifecycle costs can be considerable reduced.

  • KSB aids Polish wastewater upgrade
    When the wastewater and effluent infrastructure of the historic city of Krakow in Poland was in urgent need of renewal and updating, the main objectives being to improve the treatment of sewage which eventually flows into the Baltic Sea. A number of KSB's sewage submersible pumps and mixers were used to fulfil this objective.
  • Increasing efficiency and audience comfort
    A Munich theatre built more than 250 years ago needed a revamp to make it more energy efficient. During a four-year renovation, the opportunity was taken to install new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. The combination of pump technology and automation resulted in reduced power consumption and improved comfort for the audience.

    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.
  • External gear pump metering success with sodium hypochlorite
    In January 2006, World Pumps published a feature on external gear pumps for metering sodium hypochlorite and other wastewater treatment chemicals. Here, a US wastewater treatment company found that an external gear pump was so successful that they have been used to meter sodium hypochlorite ever since.
  • Cutting clogging in wastewater systems
    Clogging, or ‘ragging’, is a major headache for operators of sewage pumping stations, and can be very costly in terms of downtime and possible sewage pollution. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Paul Uwe Thamsen of TU Berlin – Fluidsystemdynamik explains how recent research may change all this.

Flexible concepts in building automation

24 March 2010

The advantages of the 'intelligent building' are the increase of user comfort as well as the reduction of operating costs. Existing pump technology, such as that found in heating and air-conditioning, can contribute to this. Here we examine a flexible concept with which electronic pumps can be integrated into different building automation systems.
