6.3 Function of the system
Wilo single-pump pressure boosting systems are
fitted as standard with a non-self-priming high-
pressure multistage centrifugal pump with a
three-phase AC motor. This pump is supplied with
water via the inlet connection (8). If a self-priming
pump is used, or generally in the case of suction
mode from lower-lying tanks, a separate, vac-
uum-proof and pressure-proof suction line with a
foot valve has to be installed. It should be posi-
tioned at a constant incline from the tank to the
pump connection port. The pump increases the
pressure and pumps the water to the consumer via
the pressure pipe. To do this, it is switched on and
off or controlled depending on the pressure. The
pressure is monitored either by a pressure sensor
(Fig. 2a) or a mechanical pressure switch (Fig. 2b)
depending on the type of control device.
• Pressure switch for system series CO-1 and
CO/T-1 with ER:
The mechanical pressure switch is used to monitor
the pressure present on the consumer side of the
pump. As water consumption increases, the pres-
sure in the consumer line drops. When the mini-
mum switch-on pressure set on the pressure
switch is reached, a switching signal is sent to the
control device, which switches the pump on
immediately. Conversely, when consumption falls
(closing of taps) the pressure in the system rises.
When the deactivation pressure set on the pres-
sure switch is reached, a switching signal is again
sent to the control device and the pump is
switched off. For a more precise description of the
type of control and the control process, see the
installation and operating instructions for the
control device.
• Pressure sensor for system series CO-1 and CO/
T-1 with CE+ or COR-1..-GE and COR-1.../VR:
The pressure sensor continuously measures the
actual pressure value, converts it into an analogue
current signal and transmits it to the control
device. Depending on demand and the type of
control system, the control device switches the
pump on or off or changes the speed of the pump
until the set control parameters are reached. For a
more precise description of the type of control,
the control process and the setting options, see
the installation and operating instructions for the
control device.
The diaphragm pressure vessel installed (4) (total
content approx. 8 litres) performs a certain buffer
function on the pressure sensor and prevents
oscillation of the control system when switching
the system on and off. However, it also allows the
extraction of small amounts of water (e.g. due to
very small leaks) from the available storage vol-
ume without switching on the pump. This reduces
the switching frequency of the pumps and stabi-
lises the operating state of the system.
CAUTION!
To protect the mechanical shaft seal or slide
bearing, the pump must not run dry. Otherwise
the pump may leak.
An assembly for protection against low water level
(WMS) (12) (for detailed drawings see Fig. 6a and
6b) is provided as an accessory for direct connec-
tion to the public water mains. It monitors the
available supply pressure and sends a switching
signal which is processed by the control device.
The WMS assembly is installed on the pump's
drainage opening (this also requires the WMS con-
nection kit (Fig. 6a, 12b) for CO-1 from the Wilo
accessories range) or at an installation point which
must be provided in the inlet pipe.
In the case of an indirect connection (system sep-
aration through non-pressurised break tank), a
level-dependent signal transmitter must be pro-
vided and installed in the break tank as a dry-run-
ning protection device. With systems of series
CO/T or if a Wilo break tank is used, a float switch
(Fig. 9) is already included in the supplied system.
For existing onsite tanks, you will find various sig-
nal transmitters in the Wilo range that can be ret-
rofitted (e.g. float switch WA65 or low-water
warning electrodes with level relay SK 277).
WARNING!
Materials that do not adversely affect the qual-
ity of the water must be used for drinking water
systems!
6.4 Noise
Depending on power requirements, the system
may be delivered with a wide variety of pumps
which can vary just as widely in their noise and
vibration characteristics. You will find the relevant
data in the installation and operating instructions
for the pump or in the catalogue specifications for
the pump.
