    Abstract: An apparatus and method for monitoring a reciprocating member of a reciprocating piston compressor is presented. The apparatus and method provide a means for measuring parameters of the reciprocating member, such as road load or cross-head temperature and the like, and wirelessly transmitting the data to a receiver. A mobile assembly is attached to a reciprocating member of the compressor, the mobile assembly having a sensor assembly, a wireless transmitter and a power generation assembly. The sensor assembly measures a parameter of the reciprocating member and generates a representative sensor signal. The wireless transmitter wirelessly transmits a corresponding data signal to a stationary assembly mounted nearby. The power assembly powers the transmitter and sensor assembly. The measured data is used, in conjunction with other measurements, such as a crankshaft encoder, to calculate the work performed by the compressor, the power used by the compressor and other information. The compressor utilization is then optimized based on the gathered information.

    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting the presence of an overheat condition in a fluid pump includes a pump head for receiving a fluid at a first pressure and outputting the fluid at a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure. A motor is positioned adjacent the pump head to drive the pump head to pressurize the fluid. A single overheat sensor senses an overheat condition in the pump head and an overheat condition in the motor. When a threshold temperature is sensed by the overheat sensor, a switch is activated to prevent operation of the motor. In one embodiment, the overheat sensor and switch are integral and may, for example, take the form of a bi-metal switch formed in the stator windings of the motor. In alternate embodiments, the overheat sensor and switch are separate.

    Abstract: A system and method for air compressor control wherein the air compressor is loaded only when engine activities require it to be loaded or when free engine power is available to operate the compressor. An air compressor system is an engine-driven, piston-type compressor which operates in a loaded and an unloaded mode and provides air to a vehicle's air powered devices, such as service brakes, air suspension, windshield wipers, etc. The operating mode of the compressor is controlled by a pressure activated air governor which applies an air signal when pressure in a reservoir reaches a set level that activates a cap valve on an unloader stopping the air compressor. When the air pressure in the reservoir drops below a lower set pressure or when energy is "free," such as during downhill operations, the air governor exhausts the air signal allowing the air compressor to resume operation. Additionally, when the reservoir is of a pressure between the two set pressures and is in an unloaded state it will be maintained in that state for a set period of time to prevent rapid cycling of the air compressor. Further, when the reservoir is of a pressure between the two set pressures and is in a loaded state the air compressor will be unloaded after a set time interval that is based on a compressor head metal temperature to maintain threshold temperatures of the compressor head metal within a suitable range. Additionally, the compressor head is evaluated such that whenever the compressor head temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold temperature the air compressor is placed in an unloaded state until the compressor head temperature drops below the predetermined threshold temperature. The system is further capable of recording data indicative of compressor operation for detecting leaks in the air system and vehicle operator characteristics.

    Abstract: A rod-pump control device is disclosed. The rod-pump control device uses AMP (current) measurements for electric units, fuel or air usage for gas units, and can use pressure for either unit. The AMP/fuel/air sensors work as the primary trigger to indicate a pump-off condition on an oil and gas well. These sensors can be used as stand-alone triggers or in conjunction with other sensors to more accurately monitor pump efficiency. When the pump-controller starts to indicate an inefficient pump condition, it will turn the pump off by removing power from the electric motor. For gas powered units, the controller will remove power to disengage an electric clutch or send a signal to an engine controller to stop. An adjustable algorithm will use percentage change of off time, dependent on actual run time compared to a user definable target time to keep the pump operating at peak efficiency.

    Abstract: A cryopump pumps gas from a vacuum chamber in a vacuum apparatus performing vacuum processing. The cryopump comprises: a refrigerator; a cryopanel cooled by the refrigerator; and a controller configured to control an operating cycle of the refrigerator such that the cryopanel is controlled so as to have a target temperature. When an operating cycle of the refrigerator has reached a first determination reference, the controller monitors the operating cycle for a first determination period of time, and when the operating cycle has reached a second determination reference, which corresponds to a higher load than the first determination reference, the controller monitors a temperature of the cryopanel for a second determination period of time, which is shorter the first determination period of time.

    Abstract: In a method for controlling the operation of a compressor, the compressor is switched off by a controller in order to prevent thermal damage if an estimated temperature value calculated by the controller exceeds an upper threshold value. The controller calculates a cooling function as a state variable utilizing the estimated temperature value, the cooling function representing the chronological course of the cooling of the compressor. The controller determines the cooling function based on at least one first and one second estimated temperature value which are associated with points of the compressor that are at spatial distances to each other. The calculation of the cooling function is based on a temperature difference between the first and second estimated temperature values.
