A control system for a pump installation comprising a primary feed back circuit including sensors measuring the fluid discharge pressure of the pump and possibly additionally the fluid flow in the pump discharge and regulating the speed of the pump drive to control said discharge pressure in dependence for example on the pressure requirements of boiler feed, and including additionally a secondary feed back circuit sensing further operating conditions in the pump installation e.g. water and oil pressures. The primary circuit delivers a speed control signal for actuation of control valve means of the pump drive which may be for example a steam turbine, and the secondary circuit is coupled to a gate of the primary circuit whereby in the event of any of the further conditions being unsatisfactory the control signal is interrupted and the pump stopped. |
