Enumeration for the type of distribution pump control

Information

Enumeration to define the type of distribution pump control.

Enumeration Description
ConstantSpeed Use this setting for a constant speed pump.
ConstantFlow Use this setting for a constant flow system where terminal units are equipped with three-way valves and the pump operation can be approximated as constant flow and constant head.
ConstantHead Use this setting for a pump control ensuring a constant head.
LinearHead Use this setting for a pump control ensuring a linear variation of the pump head with the mass flow rate.
ConstantDp Use this setting for a pump control ensuring a constant pressure drop at a given location in the distribution system.
