Wilo-SiBoost Smart Helix EXCEL

Wilo-SiBoost Smart Helix EXCEL – The smart pressure-boosting system with low overall energy consumption
Wilo-SiBoost Smart Helix EXCEL – The smart pressure-boosting system with low overall energy consumption
In densely populated rural areas, the transportation of water is often associated with leakage risks. This results in high operating costs. Our solution: the Wilo-SiBoostSmart Helix EXCEL significantly reduces overall power consumption thanks to its top-quality components (hydraulics and motors) as well as a switchgear which supports leakage detection via an optional communication interface.

Your advantages
- Heavy-duty system featuring stainless steel high-pressure multistage centrifugal pump from the Helix EXCEL series with integrated frequency converter with a superproportionally large control range from 25 Hz to 60 Hz
- High energy savings due to highly efficient EC motors (energy efficiency class IE5 according to IEC 60034-30-2) in an overall system that is pressure-loss optimised with highly efficient pump hydraulics and optimum load adjustment via variable pressure control (p-v) and parallel synchronous speed control
- High reliability through integrated protection functions such as overload protection, dry-running protection and WMS with automatic deactivation as well as control and leakage detection via optional interface to SCADA connection
- Maximum degree of control performance thanks to use of an SCe control device with LCD display, simple navigation and adjustment using rotary knob
- Ready for integration into building automation via standard Modbus RTU
- Suitability for drinking water for all components in contact with the fluid
Design
Highly efficient water-supply unit (non self-priming) ready for connection with 2 to 4 vertically arranged Helix EXCEL stainless steel high-pressure centrifugal pumps switched in parallel; each pump is equipped with an integrated air-cooled, high-efficiency frequency converter and an EC motor, including Smart Controller SCe. Valves and sensors are protected for safe and reliable installation
Application
- Fully automatic water supply and pressure boosting in residential, commercial and public buildings, hotels, hospitals, department stores and for industrial systems.
- Pumping of drinking water, process water, cooling water, fire water (apart from fire-extinguishing 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.
Equipment/function
- 2-4 pumps per system of the Helix EXCEL 4 to Helix EXCEL 52 series, with high-efficiency EC motor and variable speed control via integrated frequency converter on each pump

- Base frame made of galvanised steel, with height-adjustable vibration absorbers for insulation against structure-borne noise
- Shut-off valve on the suction and pressure sides of each pump
- Non-return valve on the pressure side of each pump
- Diaphragm pressure vessel 8 l, PN16, pressure side
- Pressure sensor, pressure side
- Pressure gauge, pressure side
- Removable cover for protection of system components (not for Helix EXCEL 52 series)
- Optional low-water cut-out switchgear with pressure gauge, suction side
