System Curve & Operating Point

Generate a square-law system curve from one duty point and find the new fan/pump operating point at a changed speed, or the speed needed for a target flow.

System duty point

m³/h
Pa

Total pressure at the duty flow

Pa

Flow-independent share of the duty pressure — 0 for a closed/friction-only circuit

Speed change

rpm
rpm

e.g. a VSD setpoint

r

Target flow

m³/h

Finds the speed this flow needs on the system curve
