System Hydraulics: Pump & System Curves, Control Methods & Energy Consumption | On-Demand Training Curriculum

Training Program Overview:

Attendees of this training will learn the components of the system curve, how to calculate the system curve, the pump curve and how to use it with the system curve to determine the operating point(s). How to control or change the operating point will be covered including methods to change the pump and system curve as well as multiple pump operation.

Modules:

Module 1: Define Pump and Systems and Identify Types of Pump Curves 

Module 2: System Curve Equations 

Module 3: Pump System Energy Consumption 

Module 4: Pump and System Curve Interaction (Operating Point) and Methods of Varying the Operating Point
