Embodiment Construction

[0035] FIG. 1 shows a basic pump system, generally designated 2 , with a controller 4 , a motor 6 and a pump 8 according to the invention. In operation, the controller 4 according to the invention, by means of a field calibrated speed versus power curve for valve closure, a motor signal of speed and power (or torque) and e.g. the nominal pump speed stored in the evaluation device Calculated flow values ​​are determined based on basic published pump performance data at optimal efficiency power, valve closed power, and optimal efficiency flow. The calculated flow input for comparison with the threshold flow value can also be obtained by various techniques at various speeds using pump cutting law data and stored in an evaluation device or module (e.g. module 4a in FIG. 3 ). The flow rate is calculated from the flow calibration curve of the pump and pump and motor signals such as speed and power (or torque) or speed and power / differential pressure. Where the installation includes...

Abstract

The present invention provides protection for centrifugal pumps while differentiating between dangerous operating conditions (e.g. dry running, minimum flow and runout) and / or conditions where transient conditions (e.g. closed valve operation) may occur and the protection can be revoked once the condition clears. The methodology utilizes a calculated flow value which can be mathematically determined from a calibrated closed valve power vs speed curve and / or various pump and motor parameters such as speed, torque, power and / or differential pressure or from calibrated flow curves stored in the evaluation device. The calculated flow value is then compared to threshold values of flow associated with these adverse operating conditions.
