11. Performance curves

11.1 Guide to performance curves

Each control mode has a performance range (Q, H) within which 
a performance curve is selected. Control modes with AUTO

ADAPT

 

automatically select a performance curve within the performance 
range.
A power curve, P1, belongs to each QH curve. The power curve 
shows the pump power consumption in watt at a given QH curve. 
The P1 value corresponds to the value that you can read from the 
pump display.

11.2 Curve conditions

The guidelines below apply to the performance curves on the 
following pages:
• Test liquid: airless water.
• The curves apply to a density of 983.2 kg/m

3

 and a liquid 

temperature of 60 °C.

• All curves show average values and must not be used as 

guarantee curves. If a specific minimum performance is 
required, individual measurements must be made.

• The curves for speeds I, II and III are marked.
• The curves apply to a kinematic viscosity of 0.474 mm

2

/s 

(0.474 cSt).

• The conversion between head, H [m], and pressure, p [kPa], 

has been made for water with a density of 1000 kg/m

3

. For 

liquids with other densities, for example hot water, the outlet 
pressure is proportional to the density.

• Curves are obtained according to EN 16297 part 2.
