TWO NEW PRODUCTS FROM KSB

Pumps, valves and services specialist KSB has recently launched two new product series.

The first addition from the company is a series of future-proofed diaphragm valves for drinking water.

Through its subsidiary, SISTO Arma turen, KSB has launched the SISTO-16RGAMaXX diaphragm valve type series, featuring threaded sockets, a stainless steel body and a special drinking water diaphragm.

The body is made of EN 1.4409 stainless p to supply hydrants installed above floor or under floor with up to 192 cubic metres of firefighting water per hour.

The booster set is fitted with two fully redundant pumps, each with its own power and control circuit. The redundant control systems continuously monitor pressure switches and limit switches for broken wires and short circuits. Motor and dry running protection are disabled in the event of a fire, making sure the pumps do not stop before fire fighting ends. The master switch and valves are secured against unauthorised operation. If one of the pumps fails, the redundant control system takes over and starts up the second pump. This provides a high level of safety for the operator, the buildings to be protected and the infrastructure.

The break tank ensures that drinking and fire-fighting water are hygienically separated to EN 1717 type AB. The net tank volume meets the 3% rule stipulated in the standard.
