Question: What does the term 'inlet mode' refer to?

Answer:

The term "inlet mode" refers to a suction state with positive inlet pressure in which the pumped medium is supplied from a point located above the pump's suction port and which is in contact with the atmosphere (open system). This means that the pressure applied at the pump's suction port is greater than or equal to atmospheric pressure.
