  • Patent number: 6607360
    Abstract: A constant-pressure pump controller system for maintaining a substantially uniform discharge pressure of liquid output from a pump operated by an electric motor and where liquid is delivered to a plurality of simultaneously-operating downstream outlets. The system provides a pressure transducer for sensing discharge pressure from the pump, and includes a piston bearing a magnet for Hall effect interaction. To accomplish Hall effect sensing, an electric current carrier is situated to interact with the magnet for production of Hall voltage which is monitored by a voltage sensor in communication with a controller that regulates motor speed in accord with Hall-effect sensed need through pulse width modulation in response to the voltage value according to proportional integral derivative methodology. Finally, a pump input voltage sensor and regulator maintain a constant voltage output to the pump should voltage input be variable.
