3.25 Parameters 29-** Water Application
Functions
The group contains parameters used for monitoring water/
wastewater applications.
3.25.1 29-0* Pipe Fill function
In water supply systems, water hammering can occur when
lling the pipes too fast. It is therefore desirable to limit
the lling rate. Pipe ll mode eliminates the occurrence of
water hammering associated with the rapid exhausting of
air from the piping system by lling the pipes at a low
rate.
This function is used in horizontal, vertical, and mixed
piping systems. As the pressure in horizontal pipe systems
does not climb as the system lls, lling horizontal pipe
systems requires a user-specied speed to ll for a user-
specied time and/or until a user-specied pressure
setpoint is reached.
The best way to ll a vertical pipe system is to use the PID
function to ramp the pressure at a user-specied rate
between the motor speed low limit and a user-specied
pressure.
The pipe ll function uses a combination of the above to
ensure a safe lling of any system.
No matter which system, the pipe ll mode starts using
the constant speed set in parameter 29-01 Pipe Fill Speed
[RPM] until the pipe ll time in parameter 29-03 Pipe Fill
Time has expired. Filling then continues with the lling
ramp set in parameter 29-04 Pipe Fill Rate until the lling
setpoint specied in parameter 29-05 Filled Setpoint is
reached.
