  • Publication number: 20180258926
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pump system comprising a positive-displacement pump module, preferably a screw pump, a drive module which can be exchanged separately from the positive-displacement pump module, said drive module comprises an electric drive motor and a frequency converter associated therewith for controlling or adjusting a drive motor speed, control means comprising a controller for producing an adjustment variable (YS) for the frequency converter in accordance with a reference variable (W) and a first actual operational parameter (X) and logistic means associated with the controller, and reference variable defining means for providing the reference variable (W) for the control means. According to the invention, the control means are provided in a control module separately from the drive module, and the drive module can be exchanged separately from the control module, and the drive module does not have a designed and/or controlled controller for producing the adjustment variable (YS).

  • Patent number: 9797398
    Abstract: An operational control device is disclosed for a positive-displacement pump having a motor, means for actuating the motor, state sensor means for detecting an actual operating parameter (e.g., pressure) of the pump, and operating mode means for controlling an operating mode of the pump. A first actuating mode of the operating mode means is set by the actuating means below a first operating-parameter threshold value (P1). This mode brings about a constantly rising pump pressure in the direction of an operating-parameter setpoint value (Pset) in a variable manner, which is dependent on a detected change in the operating parameter over a predefined time interval. A second actuating mode is set as normal operation to the operating-parameter setpoint value by the actuating means above the first operating-parameter threshold value. P1 is fixed or is calculated as a fraction of the operating-parameter setpoint value and/or a pump parameter correlated therewith.
