Air-Powered Data Module How it Works |
|
| The
AutoPump® Data Module is mounted in series at each well head after the
air supply and before the AutoPump. During operation, compressed air
is supplied to the Data Module via an air-in quick-connect. (The
optional Air Inlet Supply Gauge shows the supply pressure before
entering any of the Module’s internal components.) The compressed air
first passes through a filter/regulator that allows air pressure
adjustment, filters the air to 5 microns, and automatically drains
condensate build-up in the air supply line.
The
Pump Cycle Counter, mounted after the filter/regulator, passes
compressed air to the pump. In a piston-like action, the internally
located magnet slide, moves forward (in the direction of air flow)
during the on cycle and returns to a seated position in the off cycle.
The digital display senses the completion of this to-and-fro movement
and records the cycle, increasing the number by one digit (which is
shown through the digital display). This process repeats itself for
each pump cycle.
The
level sensor regulator & gauge, mounted after the pump cycle
counter, displays the air pressure available to the level indicator,
and the air flow meter displays the amount of air being consumed by the
level indicator in SCFH.
This
level indicator, which is connected to a down-well pneumatic sensor,
measures water column pressure in inches above its outlet in the well
(e.g., fluid intake of pump) and has an “On/Off” switch that allows
measurement only when required, reducing energy costs.
