Abstract
The pump unit is provided, in particular for heating and cooling installations. The speed of the pump unit may be altered by changing the operating frequency of a frequency converter feeding the electric motor and which forms a structural unit with the pump unit. As soon as the pump unit has reached a parameter characterizing the thermal overload of the same, the frequency converter is controlled in a manner so as to reduce the speed, the reduced speed n' being greater or equal to half the normal speed n.
