ZHI, ZHJ
General
The ZHI and ZHJ sets are based on a single OPA and OPB pump and complete with non-return valves, a hydraulic accumulator, and a control system. The set configuration depends on the intended use and application.
The single pump sets built as parallel systems of several pumps are designed for pumping water, raising water pressure in supply networks, and compensation of hydraulic losses resulting from the parameters of supplied pipelines.

Design
ZHI and ZHJ are single pump sets. The pump is installed on a support structure, and features cut-off and non-return valves, controls (LCA pressure switch or pressure transducer), a control system and a hydraulic accumulator.
Pumping units
ZHI and ZHJ feature OPA and OPB (upgraded OPA) pumping units.
Support structure
The structure is welded from steel sections. It rests on vibration dampers with height adjustment in the range of 20 mm and a levelling system. The support structure can be optionally made of structural carbon steel with dip zinc coating or austenitic steel.
Fittings
The pump has a non-return valve. The ZHI.2 to ZHI.3 and ZHJ.0 to ZHJ.3 sets also feature cut-off ball valves on the delivery and suction/supply ends. The delivery end also features a pressure gauge installed on the delivery pipe or on the hydraulic accumulator (ZBW.5: 200 litres capacity, or ZBO tanks).
Installation site considerations:
- The room area should enable installing the hydraulic accumulator set with clearances that enable free access to individual components.
- The ambient temperature at the installation site should be between +5oC and + 40oC.
- The room should feature a ventilation system with an air exchange rate of 1/hour or higher.
- Due to the foundation of the set on vibration dampers with levelling, no extra foundation works are necessary for the installation.
- The room floor should have a slope towards floor drains for effective water discharge from the installation site. The running hydraulic accumulator set must be protected from flooding with water.
- If the set is fed by an open storage reservoir, the hydraulic accumulator set should be located to ensure a minimum static flow of 1.0 m at the set connection point. Otherwise contact the manufacturer to select and install a suitable flooding adapter.
Design version of the set
Due to the necessary adaptation to various functional and installation conditions, the hydraulic accumulator sets are available in a wide range of design versions specified by a four-character code.
The first character of the code e1e2e3e4 designates the orientation of the control cabinet. The ZHI and ZHJ sets can have one of the two available control cabinet orientations.
| e1 |
Control cabinet location |
| 3 |
The cabinet is outside of the set structure. It is wall mounted at the plant. |
| 4 |
The cabinet is installed on the pump. |
The support structure, delivery pipes and pressure gauge stubs are offered in two material versions specified by the second position of the four-character code e1e2e3e4.
| e2 |
