Pump monitoring system and method

A system for monitoring the operation of a surface pump such as a hand-operated water pump or oil pump, which uses an accelerometer mounted to a component of the pump to monitor movement of a pump component, for example the handle, and transmitted via a data connection such as a mobile data communications network to a server. The accelerometer measurements are processed by using a trained model such as a support vector machine to output an indication of the condition of the pump or the level of liquid in the well or borehole served by the pump. The model may be trained using a training data set of sensor measurements associated with liquid level in the well and condition of the pump.

METHOD OF DETERMINING A SYSTEM COMPRESSIBILITY VALUE OF A MEDICAL MEMBRANE PUMP DRIVE

The present invention relates to a method of determining a system compressibility value of a medical membrane pump drive, wherein a first and second pressure level are moved to and a first and second operating parameter value of the membrane pump drive are detected; wherein the system compressibility value is determined on the basis of the detected operating parameter values; and wherein the membrane of the membrane pump drive is supported at a rigid surface during the determination of the system compressibility value.

Pump Assembly Health Assessment

Method and apparatus for assessing health of fracturing fluid pump assemblies and other wellsite equipment. For example, predicted data indicative of a first operational parameter of a pump assembly is generated utilizing: a model relating the first operational parameter to each of a plurality of second operational parameters of the pump assembly; and real-time data indicative of each of the second operational parameters. Health of the pump assembly is then assessed based on: the predicted data indicative of the first operational parameter; and real-time data indicative of the first operational parameter.

Compressor assembly with liquid sensor

A compressor may include a shell, a compression mechanism, first and second temperature sensors, and a control module. The shell may define a lubricant sump. The compression mechanism may be disposed within the shell and may be operable to compress a working fluid. The first temperature sensor may be at least partially disposed within the shell at a first position. The second temperature sensor may be at least partially disposed within the shell at a second position that is vertically higher than the first position. The control module may be in communication with the first and second temperature sensors and the pressure sensor and may determine whether a liquid level in the lubricant sump is below a predetermined level based on data received from the first and second temperature sensors.
