WATER QUALITY MONITORING METHOD FOR WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM, WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM, AND REFRIGERATION APPARATUS

The present application relates to the technical field of water quality monitoring for water supply systems, and provides a water quality monitoring method for a water supply system, a water supply system, and a refrigeration apparatus. The water quality monitoring method for a water supply system includes: controlling to convey water to a water outlet pipe of the water supply system; obtaining a water quality parameter in the water outlet pipe; judging whether the water quality parameter meets a standard; if the water quality parameter meets the standard, ending the monitoring; if the water quality parameter does not meet the standard, proceeding to a next operation; controlling to drain the water in the water supply system; and repeating the above obtaining operation, judging operation, and draining operation, until the water quality parameter meets the standard. Through this method, the water quality parameter in the water outlet pipe may be monitored in real time, and it is controlled to drain the water in the water supply system when the water quality parameter exceeds the standard, thereby avoiding the breeding and deposition of organic matter. Moreover, this method may avoid drainage and flushing of the water supply system after a long period of inactivity, reduce operational difficulties and improve user convenience.

Method, apparatus and system for balancing the fluid pressure of fluid distribution systems
11340637 · 2022-05-24 ·

The present invention is a fluid distribution system comprising connected conduits (e.g., lines) wherein fluid flows, such as pipes within a building. The lines may be configured to: (i) include multiple lines that connect at intersections (some of the intersections will be identified as nodes); and (ii) incorporate node units associated with line pressure loss simulation assemblies (“LLSAs”). Activities of a node unit incorporating a LLSA can result in alterations in fluid pressure, such as by a loop control process to reposition balancing valves or other valves of one or more LLSAs, and/or by alteration of the speed of the system pump. These activities adjust fluid pressure to cause the system to produce a balanced and high efficiency energy transfer (e.g., heating or cooling), and do not involve or require any identification or use of any specific, fixed or absolute pressure value. They function based on an operation locus (for a node unit) and/or an operation locus range (for node unit groupings) to adjust the fluid pressure.
