8.6 Setting values for control modes
The setting values for FLOW
ADAPT
and FLOW
LIMIT
are indicated in % of maximum flow, but you must enter the value in m
3
/h in the
"Settings" menu. The maximum flow is a theoretical value corresponding to H = 0. The actual maximum flow depends on the system
characteristics.
The duty ranges for proportional-pressure and constant-pressure control appear in the MAGNA3 data booklet.
In constant-curve duty, you can control the pump from minimum to 100 %. The range of control depends on the minimum speed, power
and pressure limits of the pump.
8.7 Flow estimation accuracy
The internal sensor estimates the difference in pressure between
the inlet and outlet port of the pump. The measurement is not a
direct differential-pressure measurement, but by knowing the
hydraulic design of the pump, you can estimate the differential
pressure across the pump. The speed and power give a direct
estimation of the actual duty point at which the pump is running.
The calculated flow rate has an accuracy specified as +/- xx % of
Q
max
. The less flow through the pump, the less accurate the
reading will be. See also section 8.11.5 Heat energy monitor.
Example:
Fig. 39 Q
max
1. MAGNA3 65-60 has a Q
max
of 40 m
3
/h.
Typically 5 % accuracy means 2 m
3
/h inaccuracy of Q
max
± 2
m
3
/h.
2. This accuracy is valid for the entire QH area. If the pump
indicates 10 m
3
/h, the measurement is 10 ± 2 m
3
/h.
3. The flow rate can be from 8-12 m
3
/h.
The use of a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol will reduce the
accuracy.
If the flow is less than 10 % of Q
max
, the display shows a low flow.
See section 8.8 Flow accuracy table, section 8.9 External
connections, for flow accuracy calculations of the complete
MAGNA3 range.
