CONTROL OF A DUAL-PUMP SINGLE-POWER SOURCE SYSTEM

In some implementations, a controller may obtain a set of measurement values associated with the dual-pump single-power source system, wherein the set of measurement values includes at least one of one or more speed measurements associated with a clutch that is coupled to a power source and a first pump of the dual-pump single-power source system, a measurement value indicating an output speed of the power source, or a first crank angle associated with the first pump and a second crank angle associated with a second pump of the dual-pump single-power source system. The controller may detect that the clutch is experiencing slippage based on comparing at least two measurement values of the set of measurement values. The controller may perform an action to cause the clutch to disengage a mechanical connection between the first pump and the power source while the power source is running and is mechanically connected to the second pump.

PREVENTION OF CAVITATION

This disclosure relates to a system for reducing cavitation at a surface that moves relatively with respect to a first fluid.
