Patent number: 11953154Abstract: A vessel includes a body having an interior surface that defines an interior space. The vessel further includes a flexible membrane located within the interior space of the vessel. The interior space includes a first chamber at least partially defined by the flexible membrane, and a second chamber at least partially defined by the flexible membrane and a portion of the interior surface of the body. The vessel includes a pressure relief device configured to vent contents of the second chamber to an exterior of the body when the second chamber reaches a first predefined pressure. The flexible membrane is configured to tear or puncture when the first chamber reaches a second predefined pressure that is less than or equal to the first predefined pressure to prevent dangerously high pressures within the first chamber.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Amtrol Licensing Inc.Inventors: João Pedro Oliveira Pinhão Silva Mendes, Pedro Alexandre Queiro Silva Vieira, Jennifer Marie O'Brian

Patent number: 11536262Abstract: A controller for a well system automatically profiles the system, detects a pre-charge of an associated pressurized storage tank, and automatically configures pressure-based control of a pump based on the detected pre-charge. The controller determines the pre-charge of the pressurized storage tank while the tank is connected to the system. While monitoring a system pressure, the controller activates the pump to initiate a filling operation of the pressurized storage tank. 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: AMTROL LICENSING INC.Inventors: Christopher A.
