The higher flow rate might also reduce the head that the
centrifugal pump produces if we are out on the pump curve
where head is dropping significantly with throughput. For
simplicity, let us assume for the moment that the pump
curve is flat. This means that the total pressure drop
(APT) across the heat exchanger and the control valve is
constant. Therefore, the pressure drop over the control
valve must decrease as the pressure drop over the heat
exchanger increases:
