    Abstract: Apparatus, including a pump system, features a controller having a signal processor or processing module configured to: receive signaling containing information about a relationship between frequencies of pump vibration resonances detected around critical pump speeds and a 3-dimensional pump vibration power spectrum in the frequency domain with respect to pump speed and pump temperature change differences; and determine corresponding signaling containing information to adjust the pump speed to avoid the pump vibration resonances around the critical pump speeds, based upon the signaling received. The signal processor or processing module is also configured to provide the corresponding signaling as control signaling to adjust the pump speed.

    Abstract: A discrete valve flow rate converter is provided to obtain a system flow through a valve in a dynamic hydronic pumping system, e.g., based on signaling containing information about the valve's differential pressure and the valve's hydronic characteristics calibration data. The discrete valve flow rate converter resolves the valve system flow rate directly and accurately with the valve's open position and the corresponding valve differential pressure signals associated therewith. The discrete valve flow rate converter may be applied to all kinds of valves as long as their open position and differential pressure associated with is available, e.g., including implementations for control valve applications, e.g., where the valve open position is controlled automatically and accurately, as well as implementations either for pumping system pressure controls with the flow rate known, such as adaptive hydronic system pressure controls, or as an alternative to sensorless pump monitoring and control.

    Abstract: A coalescing removal separator includes a separator tank and a coalescing media. The separator tank has a separator input that receives a fluid flowing through an HVAC system having entrained gas and solid particles, has a tank wall that forms a volume/chamber inside the separator tank to process the fluid, and has a separator output that provides processed fluid having at least some, most or substantially all of the entrained gas and solid particles removed. The coalescing media is arranged in the volume/chamber of the separator tank, has a series of vertically aligned corrugated perforated sheets substantially filling the volume/chamber of the separator tank and removes the at least some, most or substantially all of the entrained gas and solid particles from the fluid.
