Well pumping and control system

摘要

A well pumping and control system that is capable of operating in a wide range of ambient conditions. The system automatically maintains fluid level in a fluid storage vessel, while protecting the pump and generator from operating in conditions outside preset operating parameters to prevent premature failure and reduce repair. By operating to pump fluid only when preset operating conditions exist, e.g. low fluid level, ambient temperature, etc., the system reduces labor, fuel, and maintenance operating costs to the owner, improves well pumping reliability and production, reduces generator fuel consumption, reduces emissions, and conserves ground water or liquid hydrocarbons, whichever is being pumped into the fluid storage vessel by the system.

主权项

1. A well pumping and control system for a ground well comprising:
a power supply; a system control; a fluid storage vessel; a well pump that provides fluid from the ground well to the fluid storage vessel; a fluid level monitoring device for monitoring a fluid level in the fluid storage vessel, a flow monitoring device for monitoring a fluid flow of the fluid provided by the pump, and an operating condition monitoring device for monitoring one or more operating conditions of the power supply; wherein the fluid level monitoring device communicates the fluid level in the fluid storage vessel to the system control, wherein the flow monitoring device communicates the fluid flow provided by the pump to the system control, and wherein the system control turns the power supply on and starts the well pump when the fluid level reaches a preset low level and then turns the power supply off when no fluid flow is sensed by the flow monitoring device or when the fluid flow stops for a preset time.
