The flow rate is estimated by CU 352 when the pump is in the stop
period. As long as the flow rate is lower than Q
in on/off operation. If the flow rate is increased to above Q
pump returns to normal operation, H
setpoint. See section Setpoint (1.2.2).
Detection of low flow rate
Low flow rate can be detected in two ways:
•
direct flow measurement with a flowmeter or flow switch
•
estimation of flow rate by measurement of pressure and speed.
If the system is not connected to a flowmeter or flow switch, the
stop function will use the estimating function.
If the detection of low flow rate is based on flow estimation, a
diaphragm tank of a certain size and with a certain precharge
pressure is required.

Precharge pressure
Hydro MPC-E, -EC and -F:
During each flow estimation (every 2 minutes), the estimating
function will disturb the outlet pressure by ± 10 % of the setpoint. If
this disturbance is not acceptable, the stop function must be based
on direct flow measurement with a flowmeter or flow switch.
The minimum flow rate can be set, that is the flow rate at which the
system changes to on/off control of the last pump in operation.
If both a flowmeter and a flow switch are connected, the
changeover to on/off control will be determined by the unit first
indicating low flow rate.
