Setting Pump curve Function
PP1
Lowest proportional-
pressure curve
The duty point of the pump will move up or down on the lowest proportional-pressure
curve, depending on the heat demand in the system. See fig. 14.
The head (pressure) is reduced at falling heat demand and increased at rising heat
demand.
PP2
(factory setting)
Highest proportional-
pressure curve
The duty point of the pump will move up or down on the highest proportional-pressure
curve, depending on the heat demand in the system. See fig. 14.
The head (pressure) is reduced at falling heat demand and increased at rising heat
demand.
CP1
Lowest constant-
pressure curve
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. 14.
The head (pressure) is kept constant, irrespective of the heat demand.
CP2
Highest constant-
pressure curve
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. 14.
The head (pressure) is kept constant, irrespective of the heat demand.
III Speed III
The pump runs at a constant speed and consequently on a constant curve.
In speed III, the pump is set to run on the maximum curve under all operating conditions.
See fig. 14.
Quick venting of the pump can be obtained by setting the pump to speed III for a short
period. See section
10.2 Venting the pump .
II Speed II
The pump runs at a constant speed and consequently on a constant curve.
In speed II, the pump is set to run on the intermediate curve under all operating
conditions. See fig. 14.
I Speed I
The pump runs at a constant speed and consequently on a constant curve.
In speed I, the pump is set to run on the minimum curve under all operating conditions.
See fig. 14.
