  • Advanced real time graphic sensorless energy saving pump control system
    Patent number: 11391287
    Abstract: Apparatus includes a signal processor that receives signaling containing information about real time pump operating parameters related to pumps forming part of a pumping system in a plant/facility, and a user input selecting a pump for displaying the real time pump operating parameters on a control monitor to allow a plant/facility operator to implement a centralized pump control of the pumps at a given centralized location; and that determines corresponding signaling containing information to display on the control monitor the real time pump operating parameters to allow the plant/facility operator to implement the centralized control of the pumps at the given centralized location, based upon the signaling received.
    Type: Grant

  • Variable speed multi-pump application for providing energy saving by calculating and compensating for friction loss using speed reference
    Patent number: 10132305
    Abstract: Apparatus features a signal processor or processing module configured to respond to signaling containing information about a set point and a speed related to one or more pumps in a pump system, e.g., including a variable speed multiple pump booster system, operating at a substantially constant discharge pressure; and determine an adjustment to the set point to compensate for system friction loss and maintain the substantially constant discharge pressure of the variable speed multiple pump booster system for flow variation, based at least partly on the signaling received. The signal processor or processing module 10a provides corresponding signaling containing information to control the one or more pumps in the variable speed multiple pump booster system.
