Pump operation philosophy (2 pumps)

1) Pump system consist of main component; pumps, inverters, power circuit, dry running control
circuit, auto/manual control circuit and BAS signal circuit.
2) In water pumping state, pressure transmitter as sensor to detect pressure value in pipeline
3) Analog signal transmitted by pressure transmitter to frequency inverter as PID feedback in
closed loop operation.
4) Frequency inverter compare feedback value with set point value, subsequently adjust the
running frequency of pump to cater for the difference in pressure; speed up should the
feedback is smaller than set point or speed down should the feedback is bigger than set point.
5) In no demand stage, inverter will speed down to sleep frequency and subsequently put the
pump in sleep mode or standby mode until further requirement in demand.
6) In high demand stage, inverter will speed up and should the feedback is continuously lower than
the set point, the first duty pump will ramp up to full speed to cover the demand requirement.
In condition of demand exceeding the supply range of one pump, the first duty inverter will
communicate with the second inverter to perform as second duty pump to support the demand
required.
7) In dry run state, stainless steel electrode installed in suction tank operate via the conductivity
principle. Low water level will break the conductivity of the electrode and contact in the
floatless relay will be in open state (off state) and this will cut off the working signal to the
inverters and subsequently stop the operation of the pumps.
8) In high level state, stainless steel electrode will be conductive and floatless relay will be in closed
state (on state) and this will send the working signal to the inverters and subsequently put in
pump in standby or operational state.
9) In automatic mode condition, the whole system will work in closed loop PID control system with
the safety switch via the dry run protection control system.
10) In manual mode condition, the whole system will work in open loop without PID control system
but capped at the maximum or minimum speed preset in inverters with the safety switch via the
fry run protection control system.
11) In one tripped pump condition, the alternate inverters detect the trip signal from the
counterparts and this will trigger the standby pump into standby or operation state.
