Original Abstract Submitted
a system and method for dynamically controlling fluid pressure within a fluid flow circuit is disclosed. a fluid circulation system supplies working fluid through an inlet line and returns working fluid through an outlet line. a fluid management device is fluidically coupled to the inlet line and the outlet line. the fluid management device defines a pressure-controlled point. a first proportional valve and a first pressure sensor are disposed in the inlet line to selectively modulate and measure an inlet fluid pressure in the inlet line. a second proportional valve and a second pressure sensor are disposed in the outlet line to selectively modulate and measure an outlet fluid pressure in the outlet line. a controller is configured to maintain the inlet fluid pressure at a target inlet pressure and maintain the outlet fluid pressure at a target outlet pressure.
