Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) announced that their Hydro-Pneumatic (HYPN) system is a pressure boosting system that is designed to serve residential needs and also for commercial buildings, hotels, hospitals, and industries. The intelligent water supply solution is a conventional pumping system that can respond to the changing water demand at constant pressure.
The HYPN systems have come to be utilized for critical water supply in some of the biggest and dedicated COVID19 hospitals or set-ups for the treatment of the pandemic affected patients. These included the 551-bed hospital building set-up near Kasaragod, Kerala, the 400 bed District Hospital building at Noida, Uttar Pradesh, the 800-bed Covid19 hospital in Pune, and the 500 bed Sardar Vallabhbhai Covid Hospital constructed by DRDO at Delhi.
An HYPN system is designed to maintain constant pressure and pauses the unnecessary functioning of pumps when a low flow condition is encountered. With merits like is controlled, smooth, and facilitates energy and water optimization Kirloskar HYPN system is low on maintenance. The system comes with customized configuration and the long service life makes it one of the most cost-effective pressure-boosting systems in the world.
The operational expenditure of a standard pump has two major contributors in the form of energy consumed by it and the high spending on the machine’s maintenance. The HYPN system helps to cut down on these expenditures by optimizing the energy cost through greater control supply capacity of liquid. This is achieved by varying the supply capacity as per the demand of the user or system.
HYPN system by KBL can be coupled with remotely accessible smart monitoring devices such as mobile phones, tablets, etc. this enables the customers to remotely monitor and keep a tab on the status of the system at any point of time from any location. The remote monitoring empowers the user option in two ways, firstly, by using the predictive modelling capabilities, corrective action can be initiated by the user before pump breakdown, and, secondly, it helps to reduce dependency on field inspectors which effectively results in workforce optimization.
While pressure booster applications are offered by most pump manufacturers which are not always suited for variable site conditions. With KBL’s ingenuity, the pressure boosting technology is successfully applied to a wide range of pumps like inline, end suction, sump pumps, split case pumps, VT pumps, and so on. This ensures the best performance over the entire life of the system as the most suitable pump being used for a specific purpose. This customization has expanded KBL’s HYPN system its application in nearly all the industrial segments like pharmaceutical and chemical process industries and also other critical sectors such as mining, textile, steel, railways, hotels, hospitals, malls, etc.
KBL is a UL registered supplier of packaged pumping systems. Related to the certifications and accreditations for the KBL HYPN system are concerned, KBL achieved touched a landmark recently when KBL became India’s first manufacturer of HYPN systems to be recognized with the prestigious India Design Mark (IDM). IDM is a design standard set by a stringent evaluation process that stands for product excellence in the quality and innovation attributes. Thanks to KBL’s R&D and Design team that went into the development of such a highly usable, durable, and efficient HYPN system and the IDM symbol is a befitting testimony to the team’s extensive and dedicated efforts.
Located at Shirval, Maharashtra, KBL has a dedicated facility for testing Kirloskar HYPN systems. With this KBL is among the ranks of only a few pump manufacturing companies in India to have a dedicated facility for testing HYPN pumps. The company's Kirloskarvadi plant is a state-of-the-art integrated manufacturing facility, which houses Asia's largest hydraulic research centre with a testing facility of up to 5000 kW and 50,000 m3/hr. And all KBL manufacturing plants have the necessary Quality, Environment, Occupational Health & Safety, and Energy standard certifications under the Integrated Management System.
