PumpSmart - Control Solutions

1.

Advanced Pressure Control                                                       

The practice of setting the pump to maintain the highest pressure requirement is a wasted opportunity to maximize the energy savings in a constant pressure system.

Advanced Pressure Control recognizes an increase in demand and automatically increases the pressure setpoint to match the system resistance curve maximizing Flow Economy.

2.

SmartFlow                                                       

Sensorless flow measurement within ± 5% of the pump’s rated flow.

Determining the flow of a centrifugal pump can be a challenging exercise without a flow meter.

PumpSmart is able to capture real-time data such as speed, torque and power and use this information to calculate the flow of the pump.

SMARTFLOW requires only four pieces of standard price book performance curve data.

A self-calibration function takes into account changes in mechanical losses, volumetric efficiency and separates the true hydraulic load to calculate the actual pump flow.

3.

Pump Protection                                                       

PumpSmart can protect your pump from process upset conditions, such as dry-run, dead-head, shut-off, minimum flow and run-out.

With patented sensorless pump protection algorithms, PumpSmart is able to determine the operating state of your pump at any operating speed.

Using a simple load monitor function on a variable speed pump application can lead to false indications of pump
distress.

Be confident your pump is
protected by the pump experts.

4.

Flow Economy                                                       

Flow Economy is a simple metric that defines how much fluid can be moved per unit of energy.

Similar to fuel economy of your car, Flow Economy defines how much flow (gpm or m3/hr) can be moved with 1 kilowatt (kW) of power.

Combined with SMARTFLOW, PumpSmart is able to calculate the Flow Economy of your pump allowing you to know what the true pump system efficiency is.

5.

Integrated PID Control                                                       

PumpSmart includes an integrated pump controller

that can automatically control the pump based on

feedback from a process transmitter.

Pump-specific algorithms make field setup quick and

simple. PumpSmart is ideal for all pumps that can
benefit from simple and automatic control.

Typical Applications: Pressure, Flow, Level,

Temperature, Differential Pressure

2 Ways to Benefit

Integrated Process Control

PumpSmart offers automatic pump control by integrating the pump controller in the drive.

No external controller is required, making PumpSmart a simple and cost-effective solution for your basic pumping needs.

As standard, PumpSmart systems come equipped with advanced process control features that help optimize your pumping system for maximum uptime, reliability and energy savings.

Drive for the DCS

While most VFD’s can provide basic information to
your control system, PumpSmart systems have been designed to provide the important data you need to help run your process smoothly and efficiently.

Use PumpSmart as a standard VFD, but gain
unprecedented insight into the performance of the pump with sensorless functions such as Smart Flow, Flow Economy and Advanced Pump Protection.

6.

Cavitation Control                                                       

Low suction pressure can lead to the onset of cavitation, resulting in reduced flow and lower pump efficiencies. Prolonged exposure can even result in eventual pump failure.

PumpSmart can monitor the suction conditions of your pump to protect against cavitation.
Cavitation Control improves overall pump reliability in low NPSH services that routinely cause pump failure.

Typical Services: Evaporator, Condensate, Batch Transfer, Unloading
