GAS MEASUREMENT APPARATUS

摘要

Systems and methods for calculating gas densities within a fluid disclosure are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a system includes means for measuring an enclosure temperature in a fluid enclosure filled at least in part with a fill gas, means for measuring an atmospheric pressure outside the fluid enclosure, means for measuring an enclosure pressure within the fluid enclosure, and means for calculating a fill gas density within the fluid enclosure based at least in part on the enclosure temperature, the atmospheric pressure, the enclosure pressure, and a gas coefficient of the fill gas.

1. A system for monitoring fluid in a fluid enclosure filled at least in part with a fill gas, the system comprising:
a temperature probe in sensing communication with the fluid enclosure configured to receive at least an enclosure temperature from the fluid enclosure and provide a temperature signal; an atmospheric pressure sensor in sensing communication with an environment around the fluid enclosure configured to monitor at least an atmospheric pressure and to generate a pressure signal; a gas sensor in sensing communication with the fluid enclosure that monitors at least an enclosure pressure within the fluid enclosure and configured to generate an enclosure gas pressure signal; and a controller in electrical communication with the temperature probe, atmospheric pressure sensor, gas sensor and configured to receive signals therefrom, wherein the controller is configured to compute a fill gas density within the fluid enclosure based at least in part on the enclosure temperature, the atmospheric pressure, the enclosure pressure, and a gas coefficient of the fill gas.
