Wilo-SiBoost Smart 1 Helix VE

High-efficiency connection-ready water-supply unit (non-self-priming) with one vertically arranged stainless steel high-pressure multi-stage centrifugal pump in glanded version of the Helix VE series.

• Fully automatic water supply in inlet mode, either from the public water supply network or from a tank
• Pumping of drinking water, process water, cooling water, fire water (apart from fire-fighting systems in accordance with DIN 14462 and with the approval of the local fire safety authorities) or other types of industrial water that do not attack the materials either chemically or mechanically and do not contain abrasive or long-fibre constituents.

One pump from the Helix VE 2 to Helix VE 52 series, with IE5-equivalent standard motor and speed control with integrated frequency converter, mounted on height-adjustable, zinc-coated steel base frame.

All components in contact with fluid are corrosion- resistant.

KTW/WRAS/ACS approval for all parts that come in contact with the fluid
• Valves: The pump is fitted on the suction and pressure side with a standard shut-off device with DVGW approval mark and on the pressure side with a DVGW/KTW-approved non-return valve.
• Diaphragm pressure vessel: 8 l/PN 16 arranged on the discharge side with a diaphragm made of butyl rubber, with DVGW/KTW approval, completely safe in accordance with food safety laws; for testing and inspection purposes, with a shut-off ball cock with drain and throughflow fitting with DVGW/KTW approval in accordance with DIN 4807
• Pressure sensor: 4 to 20 mA, arranged on the discharge side, for control of the frequency converter

• Factory-mounted, ready-for-connection pressure-boosting system checked for functionality and impermeability
• Installation and operating instructions

Other mains connections on request

Inlet pressure

The maximum inlet pressure (see Technical data) must be taken into account when configuring the system. The maximum permissible inlet pressure is calculated from the maximum operating pressure of the system minus the maximum pump delivery head at Q = 0.

Always observe the specifications in DIN 1988 (EN 806) when using and operating the pressure boosting system.

Pressure reducer

Fluctuating inlet pressure is compensated by the speed control integrated into the pump as long as the pressure fluctuation is not greater than the difference between the setpoint pressure value and the zero-delivery head of the single pump at minimum speed. If the pressure fluctuation is greater, a pressure reducing valve must be installed upstream of the system.

Residual-current-operated protection switch

When installing residual-current-operated protection switches in conjunction with frequency converters, bear in mind that only universal-current-sensitive residual-current-operated protection switches in accordance with DIN/VDE 0664 are to be fitted.

Wilo-WMS low-water cut-out switchgear

The series Helix VE pump being used is already equipped with an integrated dry-running detection as safety equipment for the pump.
