Troubleshooting a failure with a lack of vital data, such as flow, pressure, and efficiency, can lead to long Design Reviews that can ultimately bypass the primary issues. This system would allow Pulsafeeder to acquire vital pump metrics and see when & where preventative maintenance is required to prolong the life of the pump.

Concept Selection: Controller Selection Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) picked above a Single Board Computer (SBC) and Microcontroller due to customer’s familiarity with PLCs. PLCs are also known to be highly robust and widely used in this type of industry. Testing: A Flow Loop was constructed to validate our system on an Eclipse E05 Pump. It consists of two flow meters, two pressure transducers, four thermocouples and a variable frequency drive (VFD). For safety, fluid level sensors and an emergency stop circuit were included. The working fluid is water. SOLIDWORKS CAD FINAL ASSEMBLY Testing: A Flow Loop was constructed to validate our system on an Eclipse E05 Pump.
