Training Program Overview:
Attendees of this training provides fundamentals on variable speed pumping and the drives used to vary the speed of the pump. In addition, attendees will get a refresher on the pump and system curves, how they affect the operating point and methods of controlling the system pressure or flowrate. Lastly, attendees will walk away with an understanding of specific energy consumption and how variable speed pump effects the pump life cycle cost. 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: Pump System Requirements
Module 2: Pump Curves & Varying the Operating Point
Module 3: Variable Speed Drivers
Module 4: Cost of Variable Speed Pumping
