Fluid category 5 safety valves
KEMPER FK-5 PRO break tank stations protect drinking water from non-potable water up to and including fluid category 5. Due to the significant risk to human health caused by category 5 fluids, indirect separation from the drinking water system must be ensured. The FK-5 break tank station PRO meets this requirement through an integrated free type “AB” drain. And it also has many functional highlights!
The benefits:
- Demand based water supply and low-noise operation thanks to modulating pump
- High-level performance: flow rate up to 6 m³/h
- Increase the supply volume to up to 18 m³/h by means of parallel connection
- Promotes drinking water hygiene through programmable flushing cycles for the drinking water feed pipe
- Automation of the operating time via time control program
- Optional connection of external medium sources via a second feed
- Easily view operating and plant data via BMS connection
- Can be connected to other PRO components for a digitised drinking water installation
Optional benefits with PRO:
- Live monitoring of readiness for operation via digital product twin
- Documentation of hygiene-relevant water change (flushing the feed pipe)
- Notification if the temperature falls below the frost protection level
- Analysis of the system parameters for early prediction of the necessary maintenance measures (Predictive Maintenance)
- Remote control of the operating modes (timed operation, automatic operation, blocking)
Definition of fluid category 5 based on DIN EN 1717
Fluid that presents a health hazard for human beings through the presence of microbial or viral pathogens of infectious diseases (contamination, danger to life).
Practical use examples:
- Process water
- Watering roof gardens
