A variable frequency constant pressure water supply system refers to a water supply method where the outlet pressure remains unchanged when the water demand in the water supply network changes. Variable frequency constant pressure water supply equipment mainly consists of pump units, pressure stabilizing tanks, pressure sensors, variable frequency control cabinets, stainless steel water tanks, etc.
During variable frequency constant pressure water supply, the municipal water network is connected to the stainless steel water tank in the pump room. After the municipal tap water enters the stainless steel water tank, it becomes static water with zero pressure. When users have a water demand, the variable frequency pump automatically starts to supply water; as much water is used, as much water is supplied.
II. Non-negative pressure variable frequency water supply system
A non-negative pressure variable frequency water supply system is a system where the water supply equipment's inlet pipe is directly connected to the municipal water network. Water is pressed into the equipment's inlet pipe under the residual pressure of the municipal water network. Based on the residual pressure of the inlet water, the equipment's pressure pump further increases the pressure, increasing the water supply pressure to the pressure required by the user before supplying water to the outlet water network. Non-negative pressure variable frequency water supply equipment mainly consists of water pumps, intelligent variable frequency control cabinets, non-negative pressure devices, pressure boosting devices, water intake devices, and pressure tanks, etc;
During non-negative pressure variable frequency water supply, when the residual pressure of the municipal water network meets the user's water supply requirements, the equipment automatically enters the sleep state, and the municipal water network directly supplies water to the user. When the water supply is insufficient, the equipment automatically resumes operation.
III. Comparison of Variable Frequency Constant Pressure Water Supply and Non-Negative Pressure Variable Frequency Water Supply
1. When the municipal water supply pressure is stable and the water volume is sufficient: Non-negative pressure variable frequency water supply can fully demonstrate its advantages and is superior to ordinary variable frequency constant pressure water supply in terms of energy saving; it also has a lower equipment cost than ordinary variable frequency constant pressure water supply.
2. When the municipal water supply pressure is unstable and the water volume is insufficient: Non-negative pressure variable frequency water supply equipment needs to add a water tank as a backup water source, and the equipment cost is higher than that of ordinary variable frequency constant pressure water supply equipment; the energy-saving effect is not obvious;
3. Taking Olive City as an example: The water pressure of the Kaifeng urban municipal water supply network is unstable, and the water pressure for domestic use is too low. Under such conditions, if non-negative pressure water supply equipment is used, a water tank must be added as a backup water source; on the other hand, there are many and concentrated residents in the north and south districts of Olive City. During peak water consumption periods, it is difficult for non-negative pressure equipment to meet the water demand by directly drawing water from the municipal network, and a water tank must be added to use variable frequency constant pressure water supply.
If the municipal water supply conditions in Kaifeng urban area can be greatly improved in the next few years, the use of non-negative pressure variable frequency water supply equipment can be considered. The equipment cost will be higher, but when residents use water in different time periods, the advantages of non-negative pressure variable frequency water supply will be reflected, and the energy-saving effect will be fully achieved!
