Factory testing pumping systems accurately determines the efficiency of the pump, motor, drive and control system - similar to kW/Ton for chillers.  Systecon's independently certified testing facility offers performance tests which predict the transition points of multiply pumps and guarantees the lowest possible kW for any pumping system.

Our testing procedure includes:

1.  Each control system is tested in Systecon's engineering department using a test cabinet.  Standard sequences saved as blocks for future reference guarantee proper and consistent operation for every system.

2.  The Finished control cabinet with logic is installed on a water management system in the factory and manually tested for wiring accuracy to the pumps, motors, and drives.  Manual low-stress tests are performed on the equipment to keep startup damage virtually non-existent.

3.  Full-flow, fully automatic testing is performed using Systecon's 30,000-gallon tank to verify all horsepower and kW readings, as well as finding all WWE transition points.  Accurate pressure drop readings are taken to check for misalignment of pumps and piping, and to find construction errors.  All interfaces to chillers, towers, building automation systems, and ancillary equipment are tested as much as possible to minimize field commissioning.

4.  The owner, an engineer, when present at the time of testing, may request or implement design changes right at the factory.  This truly completes the customization process to give the owner everything possible for total water management.

5.  Systecon provides factory start-up personnel for every job to fine tune the system once the field piping and devices are installed, and perform any final adjustments required by field variances.  Training is also provided for maintenance issues and set point adjustments that should last the life of the system.
