10. Auxiliary pumps during constant pressure control
When the water needs vary considerably, it is advisable to share the water request between several pumps ensuring better
efficiency and reliability.
A first method consists of a single pump driven directly by VASCO Solar and another 1 or 2 pumps directly connected to the
mains DOL (Direct On Line); DOL pumps are controlled by VASCO Solar and connected to the mains through 1 or 2 contactors.
In this method, DOL pumps are not started and stopped smoothly with the corresponding increase in energy consumption
and mechanical wear (startup current). Also note that DOL pumps are not protected by VASCO Solar.
A second method of sharing water demand (named COMBO mode) consists of using additional pumps in parallel (up to 8),
with each one driven by a VASCO Solar.
In this method, energy consumption and reliability of the pumping system is maximized: VASCO Solar monitors and protects
each pump. It is possible to assemble a booster system composed of pumps connected in COMBO mode and another 1 or 2
DOL pumps to cover additional water demand (managed only by master).
