Liquid Depth Sensing System
US Patent:
6510736, Jan 28, 2003
Filed:
Oct 24, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/694373
Inventors:
William J. Van Ee - Cincinnati OH 45243
International Classification:
G01F 2314
US Classification:
73299, 73302, 7386435
Abstract:
The present invention is a liquid depth sensing system utilizing the bubble tube or purge operating principle. In this system, a pneumatic tube extends downwardly into the liquid, and air (or other gas) passes through the tube to bubble from the lower end thereof. The air or gas pressure within the tube is equal to the head pressure of the liquid, thus allowing the liquid depth to be determined by measuring the air or gas pressure. The present system may be applied to either open or closed liquid containers (e. g. , fuel quantity indication), and may be adapted for use in the bottling industry.
Liquid Depth Sensing And Identification System
US Patent:
7895890, Mar 1, 2011
Filed:
May 8, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/149783
Inventors:
William J. Van Ee - Cincinnati OH, US
International Classification:
G01F 23/14, G01N 37/00
US Classification:
73298, 73 6141, 73 6143, 73 6147, 73290 R, 73291, 73299
Abstract:
The liquid depth sensing and identification system determines both the pressure head or depth, and therefore the quantity, of a liquid in a tank, as well as determining the characteristics of the liquid at the bottom of the probe. Two principles of operation are disclosed herein. The system may use a gas bubble collector about the outlet end of the purge tube, with the difference in height of the collector and purge tube mouths defining the very small difference in pressure head required to resolve the bubble emission characteristics produced in different liquids. Alternatively, the system incorporates a mass flow sensor capable of detecting minute changes in mass flow as bubbles are emitted from the purge tube in order to determine the type and characteristics of the liquid. The system operates using an open loop principle of operation, with no feedback provided to control the purge pump.
Liquid Depth Sensing System With Liquid Identification Capability
US Patent:
6931926, Aug 23, 2005
Filed:
Apr 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/825333
Inventors:
William J. Van Ee - Cincinnati OH, US
International Classification:
G01F023/00
US Classification:
73299, 73291
Abstract:
The present liquid depth sensing system with its liquid identification capability provides an economical device which may be installed in a multitude of different applications to perform multiple quantity measurement and detection functions. The present system includes a miniaturized piezoelectric pneumatic pump, sized and adjusted to produce a consistent stream of bubbles from the outlet end of the dip tube in the purge system of the present invention. The small variations in pneumatic pressure in the system due to the cycling of each bubble working through the surface tension and viscosity of the liquid as the bubble leaves the outlet end of the tube are detected and converted to a voltage signal which is used to identify the liquid at the outlet end of the tube. The present system is extremely valuable for identifying contaminants in the tank, as well as for measuring the liquid quantity in the tank.
Apparatus And Method For Automated Lubrication Oil Filtration And Testing
US Patent:
2013032, Dec 12, 2013
Filed:
Jun 6, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/912083
Inventors:
William J. Van Ee - Cincinnati OH, US
International Classification:
B01D 35/00
US Classification:
210742, 210184, 210149, 210 961, 210774
Abstract:
An automated lubrication oil filtration device including an oil pump adapted to transfer a lubrication oil from an engine to an oil reservoir, an oil heater associated with the oil reservoir and adapted to increase a temperature of the lubrication oil, a filter pump adapted to transfer the lubrication oil from the oil reservoir through a filtering device and return the lubrication oil to the oil reservoir, and a programmable logic controller adapted to control operation of the oil pump, the oil heater, and the filter pump. The oil heater maintains the temperature of the lubrication oil at a desired temperature.
