The reliability of one brandfor the most demanding requirements
KSB is the leading manufacturer of pumping equipment for fire protection (FP) in Spain. This leadership is not a coincidence but instead is based on an array of capabilities that make KSB an undisputed benchmark in the sector. Important contributing factors include the high technological standard of our designs and our more than sufficient material and human resources to ensure faithful compliance with contractual rules and also with the mandatory regulations in the country of destination.

Pumping equipment description
KSB manufactures pumping equipment for FP with two kinds of
supply formats:
UNIT
Each UNIT consists of a main pump, with its electric motor or
diesel engine and diesel tank and batteries, coupling, baseplate
and control panel. Optionally, the pressure maintenance pump
(jockey pump) and its control panel can be mounted on the same
baseplate.
In no case does the unit include valves or a general manifold.
SET
Each SET consists of one or various main pumps, with their
electric motor or diesel engine and diesel tank and batteries,
coupling, common baseplate, control panels, shut-off and check
valves, concentric diffusing cones, pressure switches, pressure
gauges, general discharge manifold, hydropneumatic accumulator
and accessories. Optionally, the flowmeter can be supplied
separately, as can the testing assembly made up of the manifold,
the isolation valves for each main pump and the flow control
valve.

Each fire pump must comply with very specific requirements.
First, there are the different methods of fighting fires. These
include sprinkler systems, fire hose reels (FHCs), outdoor
hydrants, foam, water spray and water mist, etc. In addition to
handling the differences in application, the pumps must also
comply with different national and international approval
Applicable standards
regulations. KSB’s comprehensive programme can always
provide the right solution for your needs.
With this in mind, our equipment is manufactured in accordance
with the standard required for each case, either because of the
official requirements of the country, or because of contractual
requirements. The most common standards are:

Torre Agbar in Barcelona, at 142 metres in height, has 32 floors with a glass and aluminium exterior that make it resemble a giant water fountain. The tower houses a 39,000 m² office complex with KSB products for various services, including the fire protection systems. The French architect Jean Nouvel designed the Torre Agbar in homage to the famous Catalan architect Antonio Gaudí (1852-1956).

Differentiating details
KSB pumping equipment complies with the standards for which
it has been designed down to the smallest detail.
Each main pump has a set of pressure switches at the discharge outlet.
There is also a pressure switch located before the check valve to confirm that there is
pressure at the pump oulet when it is required, and two pressure switches with normally
closed contacts connected in series, so that the opening of the contact of any of them or
wire break causes the start up of the main pump.

Materials and testing complying with the standards
Materials for the main parts of the pump: KSB model BOAX-B valves for the main pumps. These are
butterfly valves with a reducer and flywheel, clearly identifiable
position indicator, chain with a padlock to fix the position and 2
contacts for electrical supervision: “fully open” and “fully
closed”.
■■ Impeller cast in a single piece in bronze or stainless steel
depending on pump size.
■■ Bronze or stainless steel wear ring.
■■ Shaft sealing by gland packing.
■■ Stainless steel shaft sleeve.
The pump start-up and control panels faithfully meet the specifications of the standards for which they are designed.
They are all wired and numbered according to the attached diagram and are tested at KSB. Jockey pump control
includes delayed pump stop after order reception.
In the control circuit of the electric main pump, which is protected by fuses, the starters are fed at the nominal
voltage between mains phases (400 V), and not at the reduced voltage taken between phase and neutral.
11
Standards UNE 23500:2012 and EN 12845power for NPSH up to 16 m
European standards (EN 12845, UNE
23500:2012, CEA 4001, Cepreven RT1-
ROC, etc.) require that motor power must
be greater than or equal to the maximum
power consumed by the pump at any
point on its characteristic Q-H curve.
To determine how the maximum power
consumption has to be calculated, the
standards distinguish between two types
of pump according to their power
consumption curve:
A. The power consumption increases as
the flow increases, until it reaches a
maximum value, and then decreases as the
flow continues to increase. This is typical
of pumps with semi-axial impellers.
B. Power consumption continuously
increases as the flow increases. Typical of
pumps with a radial impeller.
In accordance with European standards, KSB guarantees correct selection of the motor's useful power, in kW, by showing the entire
curve for pump operation up to an NPSHr of 16 m.
Nominal point:
Qnb = 170 m3/h; Hn = 62 m
Overload point:
1.4 x Qnb = 238 m3/h; H = 52 m (>62 x 0.7)
Is maximum power consumption 45 kW?
NO. This only appears to be the case if the coloured
area with the complete curve for the pump is not
shown until it reaches a positive suction threshold of
16 m.
In fact, the maximum power consumption is 55 kW.
We will therefore require a motor, control panel,
cables, transformer, etc., for 55 kW
Type A curve Type B curve

Test benchesReliable proof
KSB Spain has modern test benches to test pumps from 0.5 to
710 kW at different speeds, having a frequency converter for all
the power ratings.
With the test benches that KSB has in Europe, pumps with a
power of up to 20 megawatts (MW) can be tested.
KSB test benches are equipped with state-of-the-art measurement and control technologies.
By means of large stainless steel tanks that can be subjected to a
vacuum or pressurized up to 4 bar, measurement of required
NPSH (between 0.3 m and 49.0) m can be carried out in the
KSB test bench in Zarautz.
The test bench that KSB has in its factory in Zarautz
(Spain) has the following facilities:
· Surface area: 1,000 m2
· No. of benches: 9
· Installed power: 1,600 KVA
· Speed: variable using frequency converter
· Q per pump: up to 4,500 m3/h
· H per pump: up to 400 m (40 bar)
· DN max: DN 600
· Minimum NPSH: 0.3 m
· Maximum NPSH: 49 m
· Inspection with complete protocol: up to 75 b/day
The test bench is fully automated. All valves are piloted and
operated from the control room or even from Germany or
another KSB Group test bench via the Internet. The results are
produced automatically.
