Question:

Why use the pump outlet valve to adjust the flow rate?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of this method? Are there any other ways to adjust the flow rate?

Answer:

Adjust the speed of the water pump to adjust the flow of the most appropriate, such as liquid or variable frequency control, with the switch pump outlet door to adjust the flow rate is the most uneconomical.
This is the most widely used method of regulating flow, while protecting pumps and motors. The general classical installation method is as follows: the pump outlet is equipped with a vibration reduction joint, and then a gate valve control switch, and then install a multi-function water pump valve to adjust the flow.
With the advantages of the pump outlet valve adjustment, 1, you can control the pump outlet pressure, 2, you can control the motor current is not more than the process conditions, 3, control motor power, to ensure the normal operation of the pump.
