Pump power and delivered flow relationship weakened under comparable operating conditions.
Illustrative example. Not customer data.
- System
- Chilled-water secondary pumping loop.
- Behavioral Finding
- Pump power increased relative to delivered flow and persisted across comparable operating periods.
- Earliest Supported
- First sustained during the overnight comparison window.
- Operating Context
- Comparable load band, same operating mode, similar commanded speed range, and similar distribution pressure target.
- Supporting Evidence
- Power-flow residual shift, pressure-flow response change, and repeated behavior across illustrative operating windows.
- Confidence notes
- Persistence: strong. Context match: moderate. Instrument agreement: partial. Explanation certainty: not claimed.
- Evidence Limitations
- Telemetry cannot distinguish hydraulic restriction from pump-performance degradation.
- Recommended Starting Point
- Verify valve position, inspect strainer differential pressure, and confirm commanded speed matches actual speed.
