Abstract

See full text

A method of controlling a pump device for discharging fluid, wherein the method comprises the steps of providing a heat portion adapted to be thermally coupled to the fluid to allow heat transfer there between when the fluid is at or above a certain level; monitoring a temperature parameter reflecting a temperature of the heat portion, the temperature parameter including a temperature value of the temperature of the heat portion; calculating a cooling rate value (CRV), the calculation including a comparison between at least two temperature values measured at different times; performing a pumping operation analysis including a comparison between a present cooling rate value (CRV) and a reference cooling rate value (ref), the reference cooling rate value representing a specific cooling rate of the heat portion; and initiating pumping operation to discharge the fluid if the cooling rate value is equal to or exceeds the reference cooling rate value.
