  • the feed pumps 14 can be switched on or off individually if required, if the amount of water to be pumped is to be increased or decreased. By connecting or disconnecting individual feed pumps 14 results for the other currently in operation feed pumps 14 constantly new system characteristics D, which are continuously calculated by the computer 34 using the software.
  • the calculation is done separately for each operating pump 14 and independently of the other operating pumps 14 in operation in the manner previously described by continuously calculating an associated system characteristic D for each of the operating pumps 14 in operation by thereafter the characteristic curve J of the specific power or energy requirement and its minimum and, if appropriate, also the intersections S1 and S2 of the calculated system characteristic D with the associated pump characteristic F and with the associated pump efficiency characteristic E for the maximum efficiency, and finally Flow rate at the intersection S1 of the calculated system characteristic D with the associated pump characteristic F by changing the frequency and the drive speed of the pump 14 by means of the control unit and the associated frequency converter 38 to the target flow rate Q1 and Q respectively 2 in the Minimum of the characteristic J or at the intersection S2 of the calculated system characteristic D with the associated pump efficiency characteristic E is introduced.
