The three pumps are based at the university’s hydraulic institute, where they have been used for testing as part of the teaching process for 100 years.
The KSB pump sets include two double-entry pumps dating back to 1913 and a single-stage pump from 1916.
Service specialists from KSB’s Pegnitz site also fitted new valves and replaced the old cast pipes with stainless steel piping.
Johannes Klein, the founder of KSB AG, completed part of his studies in mechanical engineering at the polytechnic school in Munich. This was expanded into a technical college in 1868, becoming the predecessor of today’s technical university.
