CO2 refrigeration systems are widely used in modern refrigeration technology due to their environmental friendliness and efficiency. Despite their advantages, such as the low global warming potential (GWP) of CO2, these systems place particular demands on oil management, especially due to the high operating pressures and the special properties of CO2 as a refrigerant. This also places high demands on the technology.

Our KRIWAN pump protection devices are now available in the EPLAN Data Portal! EPLAN, a leading company in the field of software solutions for electrical engineering and automation, enables direct access to product data for engineers and planners with its cloud-based Data Portal.
Our solution: Smart protection relays for pumps
KRIWAN protection relays provide a reliable and user-friendly solution for protecting and monitoring pumps, pump systems and submersible mixers in the water and wastewater industry. An internal memory records measured values and operating data of the pump. This data can be retrieved at any time on site via a digital interface using the INTspector app or worldwide by integrating them into the overall system controller.
Continuous monitoring
It is important for the operator that the pump runs smoothly. Damage and failures are avoided by providing information on the condition of the pump at an early stage and taking countermeasures.
Wastewater systems face particular challenges, as leaks can not only mean financial losses, but also have an environmental impact. This is precisely where our customized leakage monitoring systems come in, enabling us to react to problems at an early stage and thus ensure the safety and efficiency of wastewater systems.
With KRIWAN's complete solution consisting of protection relays, Modbus gateway for networking and the INTspector app for parameterization, the condition of the pump is continuously monitored and automatically switched off before damage or failure occurs. This enables reliable and efficient system operation.
Why use a KRIWAN protection relay for pumps?
KRIWAN offers a complete solution from the protection relay, to the gateway for networking, to the INTspector app for parameterization: easy to implement, flexible and scalable, enabling you to perform condition monitoring for reliable and efficient system operation. This is the only way to increase the efficiency and service life of machines and systems.

KRIWAN protection relays offer a reliable, user-friendly and digital solution for the protection and monitoring of pumps, pump systems and submersible motor agitators. An internal memory records measured values and operating data of the connected sensors. These can be called up via digital interface at any time on site with the KRIWAN INTspector app or worldwide through integration into the higher-level system control. The large number of inputs and outputs can be parameterized individually for each application. For example, the temperature inputs can be selected between PTC, Pt100, Pt1000 and bimetal. If an input is not used, it is deactivated by parameterization.
For the water and wastewater industry, KRIWAN offers the Premium, Extended, Standard, Basic and Basic Ex protection relays, each with 2 different power supplies (AC/DC 24V and AC 100-240V). The variants differ in terms of functionality (see product overview).
All KRIWAN pump protection relays are supplied with a factory setting. These can be found on the respective product page in the download area as a parameter list. The parameterization can be individually adapted to your application during installation and inspection with the help of the KRIWAN INTspector app.
You need a laptop, mobile phone or tablet (Windows 10, Android or iOS) with an installed KRIWAN INTspector app and a KRIWAN USB or Bluetooth gateway to establish the connection between the protection relay and the end device.
In the packaging is the respective protection relay and the brief instructions. With the products INT69 PYF Diagnose and INT69 EXF2 Diagnose, terminating resistors are also included in the scope of delivery.
For quick and easy status indication and troubleshooting, a flashing code is signalled via an LED on the front of the housing of the protective relays. This consists of a cyclic flashing sequence which can be taken from the data sheet. The KRWIAN INTspector app is available for a more detailed view. The diagnosis data provides an overview of the operating behaviour of your pump. Events, operating times, switching cycles and current measured values are displayed and help with detailed analysis on site.
The KRIWAN protection relays can be integrated into your control system via the ModBus RTU protocol. No additional hardware is required for the INT69® PYF PREMIUM, all other devices are connected via an INT600 DM gateway.
Sensors are usually already installed by the manufacturers of motors, pumps, systems, etc. The existing sensors can be connected to the KRIWAN pump protection relay.
