ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an algorithm that utilizes flow reference data which can be mathematically determined as a function of various pump and motor parameters such as speed, torque or power or from calibrated flow curves stored in an evaluation device, or from an external flow reference such as a flowmeter. Once the PID control valve has reached its steady state condition a calculated flow value is captured and compared to the current flow value obtained after the variable frequency drive has decreased in frequency (speed). The valve position is optimized just prior to the speed threshold where the flow condition of the algorithm is no longer true.
