Publication number: 20240061450Abstract: A first valve of a manifold for a fluid distribution system (“FDS”) regulates fluid flow to a first fluid handling device (“FHD”). A second valve of the manifold may communicate with a second FHD, reservoir, or recirculation line. A target flow condition for the manifold may be determined by a manifold control system (“MCS”) based on a device setting received from the first FHD. The MCS may determine an operation of the FDS based on the target flow condition, fluid flowrate, and supply device operational state. The operation may include the MCS controlling the supply device, first valve, and/or second valve to change the flowrate. The MCS may continuously operate a valve to maintain the target flow condition once exhibited. Fluid distribution systems, systems and methods for turning over an FDS including a manifold, and systems and methods for controlling operations of an FDS including multiple manifolds are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Hayward Industries, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Doyle, William Weiss
