Wilo-RainSystem AF 400

Make use of rainwater comfortably in large buildings.

Your advantages

Make use of rainwater comfortably in large buildings.

Through the targeted use of rainwater, the Wilo-RainSystem AF400 is a particularly sustainable system for saving fresh water. The factory pre-assembled system can be installed quickly. The EC switchgear and Green Button Technology allow it to be put into operation swiftly.
The system is equipped with a replenishment reservoir with a volume of 400 litres for continuous operation. It switches automatically to drinking water replenishment if the rainwater level is low.
Low energy consumption is ensured by the Wilo-Medana CH1-L integrated, non-self-priming centrifugal pump with IE2/IE3 motor technology in combination with the flow-optimised design of the replenishment reservoir.
The power supply in the low-voltage range, self-protection routines (such as dry-running protection) and corrosion-resistant components provide for a high degree of operational reliability and durability.

The system can be integrated in an existing building management system via a Modbus RTU interface. Extended communication via a gateway is optionally available.

Series description
AF 400

Design type

Automatic rainwater utilisation system with hybrid replenishment reservoir with 400-litre volume and 2 Medana CH1-L non-self-priming, horizontal, multistage centrifugal pumps. System installed on a vibration-insulated baseplate in a compact design including an 8-litre diaphragm expansion tank and fully electronic EC control unit (Easy Control) with control electronics and level control from up to two feeding pumps (ordered separately) (rainwater storage tank pump, 3~ 400 V).

Application

Commercial and industrial rainwater utilisation for conserving drinking water as a hybrid system in conjunction with storage tanks or tanks

Equipment/function

  • Module in compact design that is ready for connection, electronics and hydraulics already hooked up
  • Vibration-insulated baseplate with height-adjustable pedestal, made up of:
  • Two non-self-priming, corrosion-free, low-noise centrifugal pumps from the Medana CH1-L series
  • Large-volume hybrid tank (400 litres) with integrated filling level sensor (cable length: 1.5 m, measurement range: 0 to 1 m), all connections, non-turbulent supply lines, overflow with siphon and connection options for extension module (ordered separately)
  • Throughflow diaphragm expansion tank conforming to DIN 4807 for energy savings if there are very small leaks in the building
  • Fully electronic EC-Rain switchgear (Easy Control) in a metallic housing, IP54 rating. With control electronics including solenoid valve, pressure transmitter 4–20 mA:
    • Two separate LED displays (1 EC(e) booster printed circuit board to control up to two feeding pumps (rainwater storage tank pumps, 3~ 400V), 1 EC-Rain printed circuit board to control the high-pressure multistage centrifugal pump of the Wilo-Medana CH1-L series) show operating data, controller parameters, operating statuses of the pumps, error messages and history memory
    • Menu navigation with seven-segment display and visualisation
    • Factory-preset parameters for easy commissioning/start
    • Setting of operating parameters and acknowledgement of fault messages using rotary knob
    • Lockable main switch
    • Elapsed time indicator for each pump and for the entire system
    • Dry-running and overflow meter
    • Fault memory for the last 10 faults
    • Level monitoring of the rainwater storage tank with overflow detection and metering
    • Hybrid tank: High water alarm and overflow detection
    • Over-/underpressure detection
    • Dry-running protection of pump
    • Automatic periodic water exchange in the hybrid tank (intervals selectable)
    • Collective run and fault signals via potential-free contacts
    • Optional inputs/outputs (see interfaces)
