Wilo-SiBoost Smart Helix VE

Your advantages

• Heavy-duty system featuring stainless steel high-pressure multistage centrifugal pump from the Helix VE series with integrated frequency converter with a superproportionally large control range from 25 Hz to a maximum of 60 Hz
• High energy savings due to pressure-loss optimised 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
• Optional integration into building automation via standard Modbus RTU
• Suitability for drinking water for all components in contact with fluid

Construction

Highly efficient water-supply unit ready for connection with 2 to 4 vertically arranged non-self-priming stainless steel high-pressure multistage centrifugal pumps of the Helix VE series switched in parallel, each pump is equipped with an integrated air-cooled frequency inverter. The system features a Smart Controller SCe.

Application

Fully automatic water supply in inlet mode, in the field of public water supply, for pressure boosting from tanks or pressure pipes, for municipal, commercial, industrial and domestic applications (e.g. water supply companies, trade and industrial companies, residential, office or public facilities, administration buildings, hotels, hospitals).

Standby pump included according to DIN 1988 and DIN EN 806.

Approved fluids are normally waters that neither chemically nor mechanically corrode the materials used and do not contain any abrasive or long-fibre constituents, such as:

• Drinking water (drinking water approval in Check Material section)
• Cooling water
• Process water
• Firefighting water (apart from fire-extinguishing systems in accordance with DIN 14462 and with the approval of the local fire protection authorities)

Equipment/function

2-4 pumps per system of the Helix VE 2 to Helix VE 52 series, with IE4-equivalent standard motor speed controlled via integrated frequency inverter on each pump.

SCe control panel ensures automatic control of the complete booster set.

All is mounted on galvanized steel height adjustable base frame.

All components in contact with fluid are corrosion resistant.

Description/construction

Base frame: galvanized steel, with height-adjustable vibration absorbers for comprehensive insulation against structure-borne noise as well as integrated lifting points and cables tray

Pipework: Complete pipework made of stainless steel, suitable for the connection of all conventional piping materials. The pipework is dimensioned according to the overall hydraulic performance of the pressure boosting system

Pumps: 2 to 4 pumps from the series Helix VE 2 up to Helix VE 52 switched in parallel are used. The air-cooled frequency inverters mounted on the pump motors enable continuous auto control between 25 Hz and a maximum of 60 Hz for all pumps of this series.

• For 6” pumps Helix VE 2,4,6,8,10,16 : all pump parts in contact with the fluid are made of stainless steel with KTW/WRAS/ACS approval.
• For 8” pumps: Helix VE 22, 36, 52 :as standard, all parts in contact with the fluid are made of stainless steel and grey cast iron with cataphoretic coating with ACS/WRAS approval. Stainless steel ES versions with KTW/WRAS/ACS.

Valves: Each pump is fitted on the suction and pressure side with a standard shut-off unit 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 ball valve with drain and throughflow fitting with DVGW/KTW approval in accordance with DIN 4807.

Pressure monitoring: 2 Pressure sensors: 4..20 mA, located on the pressure and suction sides.
