Substance Control System

摘要

A system for substance control flowmeter, level meters and other sensors to determine problem events and communicate problem events to a control unit. A valve may be turned off in the event of a leak and system status may be viewed. Embodiments employing battery power during loss of power such as a power blackout and as a main source of power. Problems can be wirelessly communicated with a control unit. Problems that exist may be displayed on the control panel or remote via the internet including alarm conditions sensors, low battery, poor signal, leak detected, communication failure, or flowmeter failure.

1. A water control system comprising:
a main water supply for the system having a first flowmeter that provides data to a first transceiver for a first flow amount that is indicative of amounts of water flowing through the main water supply; a hot water supply for the system having a second flowmeter on the hot water supply, the second flowmeter providing data to a second transceiver for a second flow amount that is indicative of amounts of hot water flowing through the hot water supply; a processing element that is operatively connected to the first transceiver to receive the first flow amount and the second transceiver to receive the second flow amount; a valve and an actuator assembly that is operatively connected to the processing element, the valve having an open position and a closed position that is controllable by the actuator in response to signals from the processing element; and an algorithm run by the processing unit, the algorithm measuring the first flow amount and the second flow amount and applying a parameter to the first amount and the second amount to determine if a predetermined condition exists, the algorithm operating to control the processing element to send a signal to close the valve if the predetermined condition exists.
