Abstract
An electronic gas dispenser control system having backflow and pressure sensors is described.
Claims16
A gas dispenser control system comprising:
- a processing device coupled to a nontransitory computer readable medium;
- a control system interface coupled to the processing device;
- one or more display devices coupled to the processing device;
- one or more input control elements coupled to the processing device;
- an electrically controlled valve coupled to the processing device;
- and
- a backflow sensor coupled to the electrically controlled valve, a gas output line, and an interface module, wherein the interface module is configured to provide a signal from the backflow sensor to the gas dispenser control system, and
- wherein the nontransitory computer readable medium has software instructions stored thereon that, when-executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations including:
- actuating the electrically controlled valve for a predetermined time period at a frequency, wherein the frequency is based on one of a control signal received at the processing device from a control system via the control system interface or a manual control value retrieved from the nontransitory computer readable medium.

A gas dispenser control system comprising:
- a processing device coupled to a nontransitory computer readable medium;
- a control system interface coupled to the processing device;
- one or more display devices coupled to the processing device;
- one or more input control elements coupled to the processing device, wherein the input control elements include one or more of an automatic/manual control, a bubble counter reset control, a manual slower control, and a manual faster control;
- and
- an electrically controlled valve coupled to the processing device,
- wherein the nontransitory computer readable medium has software instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations including:
- actuating the electrically controlled valve for a predetermined time period at a frequency, wherein the frequency is based on one of a control signal received at the processing device from a control system via the control system interface or a manual control value retrieved from the nontransitory computer readable medium.

- a control system interface coupled to the processing device;
- one or more display devices coupled to the processing device, wherein the one or more display devices include one or more of a bubble counter display, a mode indicator, a frequency indicator, and a bubble release indicator;
- one or more input control elements coupled to the processing device;
- and
- an electrically controlled valve coupled to the processing device,
- wherein the nontransitory computer readable medium has software instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations including:
- actuating the electrically controlled valve for a predetermined time period at a frequency, wherein the frequency is based on one of a control signal received at the processing device from a control system via the control system interface or a manual control value retrieved from the nontransitory computer readable medium.
