In this operating mode, the pump operates by changing the rotation speed to follow a linear line between the set
pump head (Hsetting) and half of the set value (Hsetting /2). The pump provides a head on this line depending on
the decrease or increase in flow.
The Hsetting value of the pumps selected in accordance with the operating point is determined as follows:
►
The H value at the operating point is marked on the variable pressure operating mode graph.
►
If the marked point is on any operating mode curve belonging to a multiple of 0.5, the H value of that operating
mode curve is accepted as the Hsetting value.
►
If the marked point is not on any operating mode curve belonging to 0.5 multiples, the closest operating mode
curve is passed and the H value of that curve is accepted as the Hsetting value.
The operating mode curves are plotted on the graph at 1 meter intervals. The setting can be selected on the screen
in 0.5 meter increments.
