Abstract: Apparatus, including a pump system controller, features a signal processor or processing module configured at least to: receive signaling containing information about pump differential pressure, flow rate and corresponding power data at motor maximum speed published by pump manufacturers, as well as instant motor power and speed, for a system of pumps arranged in a multiple pump configuration; and determine corresponding signaling containing information about instant pump differential pressure and flow rate for the system of pumps arranged in the multiple pump configuration using a combined affinity equation and numerical interpolation algorithm, based upon the signaling received.

Abstract: An opposing impeller arrangement, for using in an opposed impeller pump, features a combination of a stage 1 impeller arrangement and a stage 2 impeller arrangement having opposing impellers and different impeller and wear ring arrangements. The stage 1 impeller arrangement may include a stage 1 impeller and a stage 1 wear ring, and be configured to receive an input fluid flow and a pump stage 1 fluid flow. The stage 2 impeller arrangement may include a stage 2 impeller and a stage 2 wear ring configured to receive the pump stage 1 fluid flow and provide a pump stage 2 fluid flow, and may also include a stage 2 wear ring undercut configured between the stage 2 impeller and the stage 2 wear ring to offset generated axial thrust in the opposing impeller pump, based upon the different impeller and wear ring arrangements.

Abstract: A technique for determining a boiler water condition includes a boiler controller (aka PSE unit) having a signal processor that implements a boiler control algorithm to receive signaling containing information about sets of N consecutive probe data samples related to a boiler water condition; determine stable average signaling containing information about a stable average by averaging a set of N consecutive probe data samples in the signaling received; determine present stable average signaling containing information about a present stable average by averaging a present set of N consecutive probe data samples in the signaling received; and determine corresponding signaling containing information about the boiler water condition, based upon whether the present stable average is within an allowable limit and a comparison of the present and previous stable average signaling determined.

Abstract: Apparatus features a signal processor or processing module configured to respond to signaling containing information about a set point and a speed related to one or more pumps in a pump system, e.g., including a variable speed multiple pump booster system, operating at a substantially constant discharge pressure; and determine an adjustment to the set point to compensate for system friction loss and maintain the substantially constant discharge pressure of the variable speed multiple pump booster system for flow variation, based at least partly on the signaling received. The signal processor or processing module 10a provides corresponding signaling containing information to control the one or more pumps in the variable speed multiple pump booster system.

Abstract: A switch assembly features an automatic switch and an electronic circuit board. The automatic switch has a common contact and a normally open switch contact to short when a boiler has sufficient water, and has the common contact and a normally closed switch contact to short when the boiler has a low water level. The electronic circuit board has a signal processor, a reset switch, and a low water status LED for providing a status indication of a low water condition that remains ON even if the water level has risen unless the reset switch is reset. The signal processor couples to the common contact, the normally closed switch contact and the normally open switch contact, senses signaling containing the status of the common contact, the normally closed switch contact and the normally open switch contact, provides corresponding signaling to turn ON the low water status LED when the water level is low, and responds to a reset switch signal and turn OFF the low water status LED.

Abstract: Apparatus, such as a pump controller, features a signal processor configured at least to: receive signaling containing information about a linear set point control curve based at least partly on an adaptive set point control curve related to fluid being pumped by a pump in a pumping system, and determine a control set point based at least partly on the signaling received. The signal processor may be configured to provide a control signal containing information to control the pump based on the control set point determined.
