  • Fluid monitoring system
    Patent number: 11519808
    Abstract: A fluid monitoring system includes a controller configured to determine that a value of at least one fluid property of a fluid is greater than a threshold value, and to control actuators to identify which fluid source has the fluid with the value of the at least one fluid property greater than the threshold value. Each actuator is configured to drive a respective crossover valve between a first position and a second position to direct the fluid from a respective first fluid source to a first manifold or a second manifold and to direct the fluid from a respective second fluid source to the first manifold or the second manifold. In addition, the first manifold is configured to direct the fluid to a first sensor assembly, and the second manifold is configured to direct the fluid to a second sensor assembly.
