Two identical pumps mounted under positive head, managed by electronic variable speed drives displaying torque, frequency, current, voltage, and absorbed power. Multicellular pumps (flow rate 1.

Two identical pumps mounted under positive head, managed by electronic variable speed drives displaying torque, frequency, current, voltage, and absorbed power. Multicellular pumps. Flow rate (1.2–4.4 m³/h) – maximum pressure 8 bar (series configuration).
Feed tank, 200-litre capacity.
A set of pneumatic solenoid valves allows series or parallel pump configuration; these are duplicated by manual valves.
A paddle flow meter with analogue output measures the pump outlet flow rate and sends the signal to the PLC controller, which adjusts pump speeds via two controllers.
Four pressure sensors (ranges: −1/0.6; −1/5; 0/4; and 0/10 bar).
A PLC to optimise one of the parameters recorded by the variable speed drive while maintaining constant flow.
An automatic cycle can be launched to review the different pump coupling modes for a requested flow setpoint, compare absorbed power for each operating mode, and return to the minimum absorbed power configuration.
A 9.7″ touchscreen displaying: machine synoptic with real-time values; real-time parameter curves; USB port on the cabinet front panel for CSV data export.
