Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0150068A2] The operational parameters to be controlled in pumps and compressors, preferably centrifugal pumps and fans, are in particular lift H, flow rate Q, capacity P and speed n. According to the known prior art, the control variables for controlling the flow rate Q and the lift H are measured in the pumping medium itself. The sensors are greatly stressed at their place of use and involve considerable cost as a result of the elaborate measuring technology. The invention solves these problems in that the control according to characteristics of the operational parameters is effected as a function of the desired operating mode, individual operational parameters for calculating the manipulated variable being measured outside the pumping medium. The speed n and the capacity P are advantageously used as electrical measured variables for describing the characteristics. The characteristics or performance data determined are permanently programmed into a computer.
