Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling several pumps in a pump sump, with which each pump comprises a switch which switches on the pump and each pump after its running is first blocked and depending on the running of the further pumps in the pump sump is released again. The invention further relates to a pump for carrying out this method.
Abstract:
A method of detecting a counterflow in a pump comprises providing with detecting means for detecting variations in the discharge pressure of the pump and signal analyzing means for analyzing oscillation components contained in an output signal from the pressure detecting means, and detecting the pump's operating point to have entered a counterflow characteristic operation region when a waveform of the detection signal generated in association with the variations in the discharge pressure of the pump exhibits a predetermined spectrum distribution. Further, when it is detected that the operating point enters a counterflow characteristic operation region, the escape from that region is performed by temporally throttling the guide vane and temporally increasing the rotating speed.
Abstract:
A vertical centrifugal hydraulic pump assembly is provided fitted with at least one replaceable pack incorporating the centrifugal hydraulic elements of the pump, the pack being clamped between two flanged end plates and mounted vertically in a receiving bore of a pump body, the base region of the receiving bore housing a flat annular non-return valve fitted between the inner wall of the bore and the outer wall of a central inlet connector, the valve opening in the direction of delivery of the pump.
Abstract:
An AC driven pump and a DC driven pump are positioned in a sump and respectively energized as the liquid in the sump reaches two different levels, the DC driven pump being automatically tested for operation after every predetermined number of pumping cycles of the AC driven pump.
