8.7.26 Soft pressure build-up (4.3.3)
Fig. 73 Soft pressure build-up
Description
The function is typically used in pressure-boosting applications
and ensures a smooth startup of systems with for instance empty
pipes.
Startup takes place in two phases. See fig. 74 .
1. Filling phase: The pipes are slowly filled with water. When the
pressure sensor of the system detects that the pipes have
been filled, phase two begins.
2. Pressure build-up phase: The system pressure is increased
until the setpoint is reached. The pressure buildup takes place
over a ramp time. If the setpoint is not reached within a given
time, a warning or an alarm can be given, and the pumps can
be stopped at the same time.
