Capacitive liquid leak detection device

A liquid leak detector for a pump is described. The liquid leak detector is mountable on a pump to detect leaked fluid coming from the pump. The leak detector includes a buffer tube positioned on the pump to collect a leaked fluid from the pump and a sensor positioned on the buffer tube to detect the level of leaked fluid in the buffer tube and to generate a signal when the leaked fluid reaches a maximum fluid level. A purge line on the buffer tube removes leaked drive fluid from the buffer tube once the leaked drive fluid reaches a maximum level. Logic connected to the sensor receives the signal from the detector and generates an alarm.

Piston pump comprising an electro-fluidic leak detection element

A reciprocating piston pump may include a fluid handling portion comprising a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a pump chamber; a drive assembly portion comprising a piston drive assembly, a reciprocating piston, a drive assembly housing, and a drive assembly chamber; and an electro-fluidic leak detection element comprising a fluid sensing portion. The reciprocating piston of the drive assembly portion extends into the pump chamber of the fluid handling portion. The piston drive assembly operates to reciprocate the reciprocating piston within the pump chamber. The electro-fluidic leak detection element is mounted within the drive assembly portion. The electro-fluidic leak detection element is configured to generate a fluid leakage signal when fluid from the pump chamber enters the drive assembly chamber and contacts the fluid sensing portion of the electro-fluidic leak detection element. A plurality of reciprocating piston pumps may be incorporated into fluid handling systems.
