modeling pump flow characteristics

modeling pump flow characteristics

Hello modelica community,

My question is based on this GitHub issue: https://github.com/OpenModelica/OpenMod … ssues/8478

I do understand, that unit conversion does not work at the moment, but even with the SI default units my results do not match the manufacturers curve.
I expected a flow rate between 0.188 and 0.611 m3/s and a head between 17 and 35 m. The flow rate is wrong by a factor of 1000, but the pressure does not match at all, even with wrong unit conversion in mind.

Before I go any deeper into modelica I need to be convinced the I can reproduce known behavior and at the moment I am not. Can anybody help me recreate the pump flow characteristic? The plan is to practice on more pumps and use those models in combination with valves, pipes and vessels later on. So I am kind of stuck here.

Re: modeling pump flow characteristics

I bypassed the valve and now it works fine.
