Q3. What to we use in primary pump systems if we don't have bypass valve
Ans. 
In primary pump systems without a bypass valve, we can use a variable frequency drive (VFD) to control the pump speed.
• Use a variable frequency drive (VFD) to adjust the speed of the pump based on system demand

• VFDs can help maintain system pressure and flow without the need for a bypass valve

• VFDs can also improve energy efficiency by matching pump speed to actual system requirements
