When using a positive displacement pump in flow control, then the minimum flow which may be achieved using a variable speed drive is limited by the motor low speed limit. It is possible to achieve a wider range of flow control by regulating flow using a fixed speed motor and a throttling valve in combination …

Flow Control – Positive Displacement Pump Part 1
Positive displacement pumps may be used when it is necessary address flow requirements of 2GPM or less. The pump design ( e.g. vane, gear, peristaltic) selected for a particular application should be based on properties of the liquid and the expected operating condition. One characteristic of a positive displacement pump is that when it is …
