Can I just measure the input and output pressure across a pump to get the Differiantial Pressure?
I got dropped on a team to control a gearpump. The boss wants to control the DP across the pump and keep a constant discharge pressure but the inlet will vary. If the inlet jumps up or down how do I keep the discharge pressure constant? I assume that I will use a PID to vary the speed of the pump. Is that correct? I usually do machine control so this process stuff is all new.
