Abstract:
A method for determining a through-flow quantity in a fluid delivery system, in which a fluid is delivered by a pump, the pump including an electromotor and the electromotor being operated at a first speed when the electromotor is in operation and the through-flow quantity being determined from a measured motor power and the speed. The method includes (i) increasing the first speed to a second speed which is greater than the first speed; (ii) determining a second through-flow quantity at the second speed from the motor power and the second speed; (iii) determining a third through-flow quantity from the second through-flow quantity by extrapolation of the second speed to the first speed, wherein the third through-flow quantity is the target variable; and, (iv) reducing the speed back to the first speed once the second through-flow quantity has been determined.
Abstract:
A pump controller or control device for determining a through-flow quantity in a fluid delivery system, in which a fluid is delivered by a pump, the pump including an electromotor operated at a first speed when the electromotor is in operation and the through-flow quantity being determined from a measured motor power and the speed. A method of using the pump controller or control device includes (i) increasing the first speed to a second speed which is greater than the first speed; (ii) determining a second through-flow quantity at the second speed from the motor power and the second speed; (iii) determining a third through-flow quantity from the second through-flow quantity by extrapolation of the second speed to the first speed, wherein the third through-flow quantity is the target variable; and, (iv) reducing the speed back to the first speed once the second through-flow quantity has been determined.
