• Control DDD-E maintains the pressure at
critical points in the system through
continuous adjustment of the speed of the
pumps.
• The system performance is adjusted to
the demand through cutting in/out the
required number of pumps and through
parallel control of the pumps in operation.
• Pump changeover is automatic and
depends on load, operating hours and
fault.
• All pumps in operation run at the same
speed.
• The number of pumps in operation also
depends on the energy consumption of
the pumps. If only one pump is required,
two pumps will be running at a lower
speed if this results in a lower energy
consumption. This requires that the
differential pressure of the pump is
measured and pump curve data are
available for the controller.
