Abstract:
A variable capacity hydraulic machine has a rotating group located within a casing and a control housing secured to the casing to extend across and seal an opening in the casing. The control housing accommodates a control circuit and a pair of sensors to sense change in parameters associated with the rotating group. One of the sensors is positioned adjacent the barrel on the rotating group to sense rotational speed and the other senses displacement of the swashplate. The control housing accommodates a control valve and accumulator to supply fluid to the control valve.
Abstract:
A method and a system for determining a setting parameter of a hydrostatic displacement unit is provided. In the method, a pressure value, a rotational speed value, and a torque value are determined. The setting parameter can be determined with use of the pressure value, rotational speed value, torque value of the setting parameter characteristic diagram, and a setting parameter characteristic diagram, which is an inverted efficiency characteristic diagram, which has at least pressure, rotational speed, and torque as input parameters. The system can include a system unit for determining a pressure value, a system unit for determining a rotational speed value, a system unit for determining a torque value, and a system unit for determining the setting parameter with use of the pressure value, rotational speed value, torque value, and a characteristic diagram, whereby the system for determining a setting parameter is formed so that during the determination of the setting parameter it can use as a characteristic diagram a setting parameter characteristic diagram, which is an inverted efficiency characteristic diagram or torque characteristic diagram, which has at least pressure, rotational speed, and torque as input parameters.
Abstract:
Air-demand-controlled compressor arrangement, particularly for commercial vehicles, includes a motor unit for generating a rotating movement which, by way of an interposed rotational-speed-transmitting transmission unit, drives a compressor unit for generating compressed air from ambient air. A control unit triggers the generating of compressed air in the case of a compressed-air demand. The transmission unit is constructed in the manner of a transmission whose rotational speed can be varied, and the control unit interacts with the transmission unit in order to adapt the rotational speed of the transmission unit corresponding to the compressed-air demand.
Abstract:
A power pump performance analysis system and methods includes a signal processor connected to certain sensors for sensing pressures and stresses in the cylinder chambers and the inlet and discharge piping of a single or multicylinder pump. Pump speed and pump piston position may be determined by a crankshaft position sensor. Performance analyses for pump work performed, pump cylinder chamber stress, pump fluid end useful cycles to failure, and crosshead loading and shock analysis are provided for estimating pump component life and determining times for component replacement before failure.

User interfaces for medical perfusion systems that provide oxygenation, filtering, and recirculation of blood in connection with various medical procedures are provided. In particular, user interfaces for use with blood pumps that assist in managing alarms commonly encountered during cardiopulmonary bypass surgeries are provided.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a speed of a pump operating in a well. A first step involves monitoring a production flow rate of fluids produced from the well. A second step involves controlling the speed of the pump with reference to the production flow rate by increasing the speed of the pump when the production flow rate is rising and decreasing the speed of the pump when the production flow rate is declining.
Abstract:
A method and a system for detecting the speed of a pump motor of a hydraulic pump system are provided, in which pump system a pump is driven by a pump motor to deliver hydraulic fluid into a pump reservoir. In accordance with the present invention, a pressure signal representing the fluid-delivery activity of the pump is detected, and the pressure peaks within this pressure signal identified. The speed of the pump motor is determined on the basis of the frequency or the time intervals of these pressure peaks.

Abstract:
A fluid pump is provided that produces an outflow of fluid that is not proportional to the speed of the input drive. Thus, the fluid pump can be tuned to provide a substantially constant outflow of fluid irrespective of the speed of the input drive. The fluid pump also provides fluid outflow when the rotational direction of the input drive is reversed.
Abstract:
A conventional variable-displacement, axial piston-type hydraulic fluid pump having a pump housing is provided with co-operating pump rotational speed, thrust plate position, and working pressure operating-condition sensor assemblies that are partially contained within the pump housing, that are partially contained within a separate position sensor housing which is removably secured to the pump housing, and that are sealed against high-pressure fluid leakage using only static resilient fluid pressure seals.
