Parallel pumping controller with load sharing and systems including the same

Abstract

Disclosed are parallel pumping controllers (e.g., control panels, etc.) with load sharing and systems including such parallel pumping controllers. An exemplary system includes first and second controllers. The first controller is configured for communication with a first engine for controlling operation of a first pump via the first engine. The second controller is configured for communication with the second engine for controlling operation of the second pump via the second engine. The first controller is further configured for communication with the second controller, whereby the first controller is operable for controlling operation of the first pump via the first engine and for controlling operation of the second pump via communications with the second controller, which responsively controls operation of the second engine according to the communications from the first controller.
