Multiple systemc curves can exist in a system, especially when there are multiple pumps present and I will demonstrate these aspects as well. For part 2, I will discuss a more complicated system where there are multiple branch points in a system to illustrate additional system curve complexities that can exist and show how the system curve can change over time. The system curve impacts from valves and control valves will be addressed. I will start by describing the main parts of a pump and system curve and what it represents followed by a simple example for illustration. This Part 1 blog will discuss the basics of what pump and system curves are and how they can be generated in AFT Fathom. This three-part blog series is going to help clarify concepts regarding pump and system curves to better understand them. However, as piping systems are quite complicated with lots of branch points, control features, and dynamic interactions, creating a useful system curve can quickly become a common source of confusion. Creating a pump and system curve for a simple system with a single flow path and no control features is an easy and typically well-understood process. AFT Fathom can easily generate a pump and system curve for your piping system.
