Abstract: An aircraft refueling system (10) includes a master controller (12), a fleet controller (14) in communication with the master controller, a platform controller (18) in communication with the fleet controller, and a fuel control system (16) in communication with the platform controller. Embodiments of an aircraft refueling system may include a primary pressure controller (20), a secondary pressure controller (22), a programmable logic controller (24), and a data logger controller (26). The master controller may be configured to receive and analyze data from at least one of the fleet controller, the platform controller, and the fuel control system; and to modify operational parameters or upgrade the fuel control system based at least in part on the analysis of received data.

Abstract: A fluid system includes a controller, a control valve, and a fluid manifold. At least one solenoid may be connected to the fluid manifold, the control valve, and/or the controller. A first pressure sensor may be in fluid communication with an output of the control valve. A second pressure sensor may be in fluid communication with the fluid manifold. The controller may be configured to control operation of the control valve via the at least one solenoid according to a first fluid pressure obtained via the first pressure sensor and according to a second fluid pressure obtained via the second pressure sensor.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a fluid system that may include a fluid conduit (30) that may be configured for connection with a fluid source (20) and a fluid destination (80). The system may include a fluid regulator (40) that may be configured to regulate fluid flow between said fluid source (20) and said fluid destination (80). The system may include a nozzle (66) that may be connected to the fluid conduit and may configured to connect the fluid conduit with said fluid destination. The system may include a first sensor (70.1) that may be connected to the fluid conduit, and a second sensor (70.4) that may be configured to acquire information from which a height of the nozzle can be determined. The system may include a controller (50) that may be configured to control operation of the fluid regulator according to (i) an output of the first sensor and (ii) the information acquired by the second sensor.
