7.6 Pump performance

Relation between pump setting and pump performance.
Figure 24 shows the relation between pump setting and pump
performance by means of curves. See also section
10. Performance curves.

Function
The duty point of the pump will move up or down on the lowest proportional-pressure curve,
depending on the heat demand. See fig. 24.
The head is reduced at falling heat demand and increased at rising heat demand.
The duty point of the pump will move up or down on the intermediate proportional-pressure curve,
depending on the heat demand. See fig. 24.
The head is reduced at falling heat demand and increased at rising heat demand.
The duty point of the pump will move up or down on the highest proportional-pressure curve,
depending on the heat demand. See fig. 24.
The head is reduced at falling heat demand and increased at rising heat demand.
The duty point of the pump will move out or in on the lowest constant-pressure curve, depending
on the heat demand in the system. See fig. 24.
The head is kept constant, irrespective of the heat demand.
The duty point of the pump will move out or in on the intermediate constant-pressure curve,
depending on the heat demand in the system. See fig. 24.
The head is kept constant, irrespective of the heat demand.
The duty point of the pump will move out or in on the highest constant-pressure curve, depending
on the heat demand in the system. See fig. 24.
The head is kept constant, irrespective of the heat demand.
The pump runs on a constant curve which means that it runs at a constant speed.
In speed III, the pump is set to run on the maximum curve under all operating conditions. See fig.
24.
You obtain quick venting of the pump by setting the pump to speed III for a short period. See
section 5.3 Venting the pump.
The pump runs on a constant curve which means that it runs at a constant speed.
In speed II, the pump is set to run on the intermediate curve under all operating conditions. See
fig. 24.
The pump runs on a constant curve which means that it runs at a constant speed.
In speed I, the pump is set to run on the minimum curve under all operating conditions. See fig.
24.
