Product description, general

The KESSEL backwater lifting station Ecolift XL (referred to as the backwater lifting station from here
onwards) has been designed for pumping off wastewater with and without sewage. The assemblies for the
pumps, pressure sensor, motor-driven backwater flap and hinged flap (emergency closure) are installed in the
wastewater tank.
The hinged flap serves as a manually operated emergency closure. It can also be equipped with a motor. This is
then driven by a separate control unit which communicates with the control unit of the backwater lifting station.
All the components have been matched to the KESSEL control unit included. The backwater lifting station is
delivered with wastewater pumps of different capacities.
In normal operation, the wastewater passes through the backwater lifting station to the sewage channel without
any backwater occurrence.
If the wastewater from the sewage system swells back as far as the backwater lifting station, this will be
detected by an optical probe. The motor-driven backwater flap is closed. The wastewater from the building is
then collected in the wastewater tank.
The sensor switching signals for the level in the wastewater tank are processed electronically in the control unit.
A pressure sensor is used as a level sensor. When the filling volume has been reached, the pump-off function is
activated. Depending on the level reached, this is carried out by either one or both pumps. The water is pumped
off either via the backwater level or directly downstream of the closure flaps.
In the event of power outage, the functional safety of the motor-driven backwater flaps can be guaranteed
for about 2 hours during which they are battery-operated. After this period, the backwater flaps are closed to
protect the building.
Different elements of the chamber system (010-701) can be mounted onto the wastewater tank. Together with
the functional element mounted on it, the wastewater tank then represents the base element of the chamber
system.
