Patent number: 11726068Abstract: Systems and methods for testing steam traps or other similar devices in a hot water or steam system are described. A tester includes a wand that is handheld that can communicate with a handheld electronic device which in turn can communicate with a central monitor for storing and compiling readings as historical profile data. The wand includes a probe to physically contact the device to acoustically sense the performance of the device. The probe includes a probe tip and a stack of acoustic elements, an electrode, a stack mass, and a head to covert the acoustic signal into an electrical signal. The handheld device includes circuitry to process the information, interact with the user, and transmit information to and from the handheld electronic device and/or the central monitor.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Shane Russell, William R. Horton, Glenn T. Leggett, Robert E. Carter, Kurt Armstrong, Thomas Jack Secord, Michael Herman Gaines

Patent number: 10667023Abstract: Systems and methods for continually measuring and calculating performance of a hot water or a system are described. A central monitor receives and processes information from hot water or steam field devices. A mobile device can communicate with the central monitor and display processed data from the central monitor regarding field devices associated with the mobile device. The central monitor can determine and send control parameters, maintenance reminders and other information to the mobile device or to a monitor at an enterprise location. Data is sent to the mobile device from the central monitor when there is a quality communication connection. If the mobile device is in the field with a poor or no communication connection, it stores updates and pushes the changes to the control monitor when a quality communication connection is reestablished.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Kurt Armstrong, Thomas Jack Secord
