C_fPump: Performance of a centrifugal pump

Description

Compute the performance of the different parts of a centrifugal pump fed by a frequency converter following the affinity laws.

Usage

fPump(pump, H)

Arguments

pump

list containing the parameters of the pump to be simulated. It may be a row of pumpCoef.

H

Total manometric head (m).

Value

lim

Range of values of electrical power input

fQ

Function constructed with splinefun relating flow and electrical power

fPb

Function constructed with splinefun relating pump shaft power and electrical power of the motor

fPh

Function constructed with splinefun relating hydraulical power and electrical power of the motor

fFreq

Function constructed with splinefun relating frequency and electrical power of the motor
