How does the Constant Pressure Water Supply Control System adjust the speed of the water pump in real time according to the pressure change?

The Constant Pressure Water Supply Control System is a common water supply system whose main goal is to keep the pressure in the water supply pipeline at a constant level. To achieve this goal, the system usually uses sensors, controllers and frequency converters to adjust the speed of the water pump in real time.
1. Sensors monitor pressure
One of the core components of the constant pressure water supply system is the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is installed at a key position in the water supply pipeline and is responsible for real-time monitoring of the pressure changes in the pipeline. The sensor converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the controller.
2. The controller receives and processes the signal
The controller (usually a PLC or a dedicated controller) is responsible for receiving signals from the pressure sensor and processing these signals. There is a preset target pressure value inside the controller, and the system needs to maintain the actual pressure near this target value.
3. The controller calculates the error
After receiving the actual pressure signal, the controller calculates the error between the actual pressure and the target pressure. The error value reflects the degree to which the current pressure deviates from the target water pressure.
4. The controller issues an adjustment instruction
Based on the calculated error value, the controller will issue a corresponding adjustment instruction. If the actual pressure is lower than the target pressure, the controller will issue an instruction to increase the pump speed; if the actual pressure is higher than the target pressure, the controller will issue an instruction to reduce the pump speed.
5. Frequency converter adjusts the pump speed
The controller's adjustment instruction is transmitted to the pump motor through the frequency converter (VFD). The frequency converter can adjust the power frequency supplied to the pump motor, thereby changing the motor speed. For example, when the pump speed needs to be increased, the frequency converter will increase the power frequency and increase the motor speed; when the pump speed needs to be reduced, the frequency converter will reduce the power frequency and reduce the motor speed.
6. Real-time response of the pump
The pump motor adjusts the speed in real time according to the adjustment of the frequency converter. As the speed changes, the water output and water supply pressure of the pump will also change accordingly. The system continuously adjusts the speed of the pump to keep the output water pressure close to the target pressure.
7. Feedback loop continuous optimization
The constant pressure water supply system continuously optimizes the adjustment process through a continuous feedback loop. The pressure sensor continuously monitors the pressure changes in the pipeline, the controller continuously calculates the error and issues adjustment instructions, and the frequency converter continuously adjusts the speed of the water pump. This closed-loop control system can quickly respond to pressure fluctuations and ensure the constant water supply pressure.
The Constant Pressure Water Supply Control System can monitor and adjust the pressure in the water supply pipeline in real time to keep it at the target level through the coordinated work of sensors, controllers and frequency converters. This system not only improves the stability and reliability of water supply, but also saves energy, reduces the wear of the water pump and prolongs the life of the equipment. With the continuous development of automation and intelligent technology, the performance and functions of the constant pressure water supply system will continue to improve to better meet the needs of urban water supply.
