Pump type

The pump characteristic is defined for a pump type in this form, which can then be used for one or more pump facilities. Enter the name of the pump type (max. 8 chars), the speed (revs per second) for which the characteristic is defined. Then enter corresponding values for flow (kg/s), pump lift (kPa) and pump power (kW) in ascending order with regard to flow. Up to 12 points can be entered in the characteristic. “Close” the curve at both ends, i.e. enter values for flow 0 kg/s and lift 0 kPa.

You can provide further details for descriptive information on the pump type, e.g. make and model type.

The fields max. speed (revs per second), - power [kW and –current (A). Voltage (V) and rated power (kW) are values sent to the Pump control function in Analyse.

These values do not restrict the function of the pump in the calculation, but in Analyse they signal whether the pump is operating beyond its actual capacity range.
