The function has these purposes:
•
to increase the comfort for the user
•
to reduce pipe leakages
•
to minimise pipe wear
•
to reduce energy consumption.
Setting range
•
Selection of control mode.
•
Minimum discharge pressure.
Setting via operating panel
•
Settings > Primary controller > Proportional pressure.
1. Select: Automatic adaptation: Enabled.
2. Set: Minimum discharge pressure.
Manual adaptation
Set the function to "Manual adaptation" to set the controller to
automatically adapt the setpoint to the actual flow rate to
compensate for flow-dependent dynamic losses. In systems with
CR pumps, the pump curves can be used to calculate the
maximum flow rate at the selected setpoint. A filter factor can be
set to prevent fluctuation.

The adaptation can be linear or square. See fig. 55.
