CavtProt: Cavitation Protection

 

Overview

This section describes the CavtProt function block that helps to avoid operating the VS and FS pumps in a cavitation situation. To achieve this, it monitors the suction pressure and adapts the pressure setpoint, if necessary.

NOTE: A pressure sensor providing absolute pressure values is required to implement this function.

NOTICE

CAVITATION CAUSING INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT

Select a pressure sensor providing absolute values and make sure to configure the correct NPSH+ value defined by the manufacturer of the pump you are using.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

NOTE: This function block is designed to be used in conjunction with other function blocks of the Pumping Library.
