QED - Pump Cycle Counter
The Cycle Counter detects and displays each AutoPump cycle via the pulse of air that occurs in the air supply line. Since the liquid volume delivered by each pump cycle is relatively consistent for a given well condition, the total liquid volume delivered can be monitored with these cycle counts. An important advantage of the Cycle Counter method is its long term reliability and low maintenance, since it requires no contact with the pumped fluid and no extra components in the liquid flow path. Cycle Counters can also be ordered with an electronic pulse output to support automated flow data collection.
- Counts each pump cycle.
- Does not contact the fluid - counts the pulses of air that occur in the air supply line.
- Optional electronic pulse output.
When a pneumatically operated pump such as the AutoPump has filled, it triggers itself "On" to start its discharge cycle. This allows air to flow to the pump until a certain volume of fluid has discharged. The air stops; the pump fills; then the cycle continues to repeat.
The Cycle Counter is mounted between a filter/regulator and a pump. The Cycle Counter senses air flow to the pump.
In a piston-like action, the internally located magnet shuttle 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 the magnet shuttle movement and records the cycle, increasing the number one digit that is shown in the clear plastic display.
This process repeats itself for each pump cycle.
