What is the problem with that?Nitheeswar said:Irrespective of pump output conditions, if we are maintaining pressure 30 m at nozzles, we are getting the 500 lpm, the flowrate only changes if pressure is below 30m
Is the pump satisfying the nozzles or not?
The nameplate of your pump states that it can deliver 14 lps (840 lpm) at a head of 24 m.
If a gauge located at the discharge of the pump shows 32 m of water column (45.5 psi), then it can only deliver less than 840 lpm (let's assume 630 lpm).
In actuality, it will deliver only the amount of water that the nozzles let go through.
The motor will consume less electricity (Amps) and the water may get a little warm.
Please, see how similar pumps behave.
Note the ranges of delivery pressures and volumes.
