ConstantFlowPump

Components/Pumps
Description
The component ConstantFlowPump constitutes a model of a flow source in which the delivery is calculated from the given nominal flow and the leakage.
Both internal and external leakage depend on the adjacent pressure difference. The parameter Nominal volume flow refers to the flow at Port A (suction side).
The parameter Startup time > 0 describes the time, within whi ch the flow reaches Nominal volume flow starting at 0. The figure shows the startup function for Startup time = 1.
If Startup Time = 0, flow starts at Nominal volume flow.
The component does not provide a model of the physical design of a pump but only copies its characteristic features. Thus, physical parameters (e. g. inertia moment or hydraulic-mechanical efficiency) are not parameterized.
