QED AutoPump - Air-Powered Data Module
In-Well Fluid Level Reading, Pulse Counter and Air Pressure information at the wellhead. The QED AutoPump Data Module is a water-resistant enclosure that protects and shields surface instrumentation from weather and/or harsh site conditions while providing easy access, via a see-through window, to key system instrumentation readings. The AutoPump Data Module is available in many configurations to satisfy site specific needs. The options available for inclusion inside the NEMA 3R enclosure are a filter/regulator, pump cycle counter, level sensor regulator & gauge with air flow meter, a fluid level indicator with an On/Off switch, an Air Inlet Supply Gauge, and a Vacuum/Pressure Reference with Gauge.
- Fully pneumatic.
- Enables operator to take reads of the fluid levels in the well without opening the riser.
- Pulse Counter totalizes the number of cycles of the leachate and/or condensate pump.
- Mountable weather-proof enclosure with clear-view window.
- Customizable.
The AutoPump Data Module is mounted in series at each well head after the air supply and before the AutoPump. During operation, compressed air is supplied to the Data Module via an air-in quick-connect. (The optional Air Inlet Supply Gauge shows the supply pressure before entering any of the Module`s internal components.) The compressed air first passes through a filter/regulator that allows air pressure adjustment, filters the air to 5 microns, and automatically drains condensate build-up in the air supply line.
The Pump Cycle Counter, mounted after the filter/regulator, passes compressed air to the pump. In a piston-like action, the internally located magnet slide, 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 this to-and-fro movement and records the cycle, increasing the number by one digit (which is shown through the digital display). This process repeats itself for each pump cycle.
The level sensor regulator & gauge, mounted after the pump cycle counter, displays the air pressure available to the level indicator, and the air flow meter displays the amount of air being consumed by the level indicator in SCFH.
This level indicator, which is connected to a down-well pneumatic sensor, measures water column pressure in inches above its outlet in the well (e.g., fluid intake of pump) and has an "On/Off" switch that allows measurement only when required, reducing energy costs.
