Abstract: A pump features a trimmed impeller having a trimmed impeller diameter that is less than a standard full-sized diameter of a standard full-sized impeller for a standard full-sized casing, and having a circumferential outer edge; and a modified standard full-sized casing having dimensions corresponding to the standard full-sized casing and configured to house the trimmed impeller for pumping a fluid, having an outer peripheral wall, and having an inner annular volute portion between the circumferential outer edge of the trimmed impeller and the outer peripheral wall configured with a volume of material deposited using an additive manufacturing process so as to fill in vacant space otherwise caused by the trimmed impeller diameter being less than the standard full-sized impeller diameter. The additive manufacturing process is a directed energy deposition.

Abstract: An adjustable volume sampling system is disclosed for aseptically retrieving a sample volume of a fluid from an origination container. The system includes a sampling container. A cap is removably attached to the sampling container so as to close off the open top. The cap includes two ports. A first tube is attached to one of the ports. An elongated diptube extends through port into the sampling container and an upper end of the diptube is located inside a portion of the first tube. The diptube can be raised and lowered relative to the sampling container by pinching an stretching the first tube. Syringes are provided for expelling excess material from the sampling container.

Abstract: A check valve assembly includes multiple components. for coupling together first and second pipes, and has multiple components, including a check valve, a check valve housing, a check valve body adapter and a locking ring. A mating surface coupling between a check valve body adapter inlet mating surface and a check valve housing outlet mating surface together with a flange coupling between a check valve body adapter inlet coupling flange and a locking ring inwardly extending and circumferentially extending flange combines to form a check valve assembly union U that allows the multiple components of the check valve assembly to freely orient and align when the check valve assembly is threaded and coupled to the first and second pipes.

Abstract: A balance or flow limiting valve features a valve body/member having a flow rate indicator/scale containing setting having printed flow rates calibrated in units of measure in volume per time increment between a minimum flow rate position (MIN) and a maximum flow rate position (MAX); and a knob/handle having a position indicator and being moveable to any continuous position on the flow rate indicator/scale between MIN and MAX in response to a user applied force, where the relationship between the flow rate indicator/scale and the position indicator is based on calibrated flow characteristics of the balance or flow limiting valve. The user can set an exact desired flow rate in one operation by moving the knob/handle to a desired position between MIN and MAX without consulting a printed flow curve or balance calculator to determine the desired exact flow rate.

Abstract: A self contained, automatic water quality monitoring and treatment system includes a water quality interface control module having a signal processor configured to: receive signaling containing information about a baseline test of pH and ORP levels of water to be monitored and also about a subsequent test of the pH and ORP levels of water to be monitored later in time to the baseline test; determine corresponding signaling containing information about the quality of the water being monitored based upon a percentage of change between the baseline test and the subsequent test later in time to the baseline of the pH and ORP levels of water being monitored; and provide the corresponding signaling for remote awareness, including wireless signaling for providing mobile or Internet awareness, and/or for controlling the treatment of the water being monitored.

Abstract: A pumping system featuring a pump, motor, a bearing assembly, integrated data acquisition system and combined programmable logic controller (PLC), data acquisition and modem. The pump couples to a pump shaft that responds to a pump shaft force to pump a liquid. The motor couples to the pump shaft, responds to VFD/VSD control signaling and provides the pump shaft force to drive the pump shaft. The bearing assembly includes a bearing with the pump shaft arranged therein and couples the pump and the motor. The variable frequency/speed drive (VFD/VSD) receives PLC control signaling and provides the VFD/VSD control signaling to drive the motor. The integrated data acquisition system responds to PLC data acquisition signaling, and provides integrated data acquisition system signaling containing information about an integrated set of pumping system parameters related to the pump, the bearing assembly, the motor and the VFD/VSD in the pump system. The combined programmable logic controller (PLC), data acquisition and modem provides the PLC data acquisition signaling and receive the integrated data acquisition signaling, provides PLC data acquisition modem signaling that exports performance data to the Internet to allow remote manual monitoring of the pump system, and provides the PLC control signaling to control the VFD/VSD and operate the pumping system as a controlled, closed loop system.

Abstract: Apparatus, including a pump system, features a controller having a signal processor or processing module configured to: receive signaling containing information about a relationship between frequencies of pump vibration resonances detected around critical pump speeds and a 3-dimensional pump vibration power spectrum in the frequency domain with respect to pump speed and pump temperature change differences; and determine corresponding signaling containing information to adjust the pump speed to avoid the pump vibration resonances around the critical pump speeds, based upon the signaling received. The signal processor or processing module is also configured to provide the corresponding signaling as control signaling to adjust the pump speed.
