Abstract:
An electrical cover for a terminal block of a device is provided that protects the terminal block from risks associated with stray wires. The electrical cover retains desired wiring in a connection space of the terminal block while also guarding against other stray wiring from entering the connection space.
Abstract:
A well management system provides Internet-enabled monitoring, configuration, and control of a well system that includes a pump (120) and a pressure tank (130). A controller (110) is operatively coupled to the pump. The controller controls the pump based on pressure readings from a pressure sensor (112) to maintain a configured pressure range within the system. The controller can communicate with a management system via a communications network. The management system is further in communication with one or more client devices (160), which may be associated with a homeowner, a service provider, a manufacturer, or the like. Via the management system, the client devices can receive information from the controller and send commands to the controller.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an absorber system for absorbing pressure shocks and fluid volume shocks in a fluid system. In particular, the absorber system includes a housing with a joint for insertion within a fluid system, wherein the housing interior is in fluid communication with fluid in the fluid system. As such, when a pressure and/or fluid volume shock is developed within the fluid system, fluid is forced into the housing via the joint. A membrane is disposed within the housing in such a way that the fluid impacts the membrane which, in response, flexes to absorb and control the pressure and/or fluid volume shock within the fluid system. The absorber system, thus, controls pressure and/or fluid volume shock within a system and can prevent water hammer and other problems which can result from the development of pressure and/or fluid volume shock.
Abstract:
A controller (210) for a well system automatically profiles the system, detects a pre-charge of an associated pressurized storage tank (230), and automatically configures pressure-based control of a pump (220) based on the detected pre-charge. The controller (210) determines the pre-charge of the pressurized storage tank (230) while the tank (230) is connected to the system. While monitoring a system pressure, the controller (210) activates the pump (220) to initiate a filling operation of the pressurized storage tank (230). The controller analyzes a change in system pressure during the filling operation to determine the pre-charge of the pressurized storage tank. With the pre-charge determined, the controller automatically configures pressure settings for pressure-based control of the pump.
Abstract:
An absorber for use in a fluid delivery system is disclosed which includes a housing defining an interior chamber, a connective fitting extending from the housing in fluid communication with the interior chamber for connecting the housing to the fluid delivery system, and at least one gas-filled bladder or cell disposed within the interior chamber of the housing to accommodate changes in fluid characteristics, such as, for example, pressure and volume, within the fluid delivery system, the gas-filled bladder or cell having a predetermined pre-charge pressure and a multi-layered flexible polymeric shell including a plurality of successive relatively thin polymeric shell layers to inhibit the formation of leak paths through the shell in the event that a single shell layer fails.
