FLOW CONTROL METHOD USING PLASMA SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18197919 titled 'FLOW CONTROL METHOD USING PLASMA SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for controlling the flow rate of fluid using temperature and voltage measurements. Here are the bullet points explaining the patent:
- Fluid is supplied from a valve to a first sensor.
- The first sensor measures the temperature of the fluid and heats it.
- A second sensor measures the temperature of the heated fluid.
- A controller determines the flow rate of the fluid based on the comparison between the first and second temperatures.
- The fluid is supplied to a chamber and an ignition voltage is supplied to the chamber through an RF power source.
- A third sensor measures the ignition voltage.
- The controller compares the ignition voltage with a reference voltage to determine the second flow rate of the fluid.
- The supply of fluid from the valve is controlled based on either the first flow rate or the second flow rate.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Industrial processes that require precise control of fluid flow rates.
- Heating systems that need to maintain a specific temperature by adjusting the flow rate of the heating fluid.
- Combustion systems that require accurate control of fuel flow rates for efficient and safe operation.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inaccurate flow rate control can lead to inefficiencies, safety hazards, or poor performance in various systems.
- Traditional flow rate control methods may not provide real-time adjustments based on temperature and voltage measurements.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved accuracy in controlling fluid flow rates.
- Real-time adjustments based on temperature and voltage measurements ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
- Enhanced safety by maintaining precise control over fuel flow rates in combustion systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a flow rate control method, including: supplying fluid from a valve to a first sensor; measuring, by the first sensor, a first temperature of the fluid, and heating the fluid; measuring, by a second sensor, a second temperature of the heated fluid, and determining, by a controller, a first flow rate of the fluid based on comparison between the first temperature and the second temperature; supplying the fluid to a chamber and supplying an ignition voltage to the chamber through a radio frequency (RF) power source; measuring, by a third sensor, the ignition voltage; comparing, by the controller, the ignition voltage and a reference voltage to determine a second flow rate of the fluid; and controlling a supply of the fluid from the valve based on at least one of the first flow rate and or the second flow rate.
