Claims17
A debubbling sleeve, comprising:
- a receptacle closed circumferentially and having a sleeve bottom extending perpendicular with respect to a longitudinal axis of the receptacle, the receptacle containing a fluid sensor of a sensor system;
- and
- an extension extending from the sleeve bottom substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receptacle, the extension has an extension passageway extending through the extension, the extension passageway is open in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is in communication with the receptacle, the sleeve bottom and the extension enclose the receptacle along the longitudinal axis except for a first passageway extending through a portion of the sleeve bottom.
A sensor system, comprising:
- a sensor assembly having a fluid sensor and a suction tube with an inlet port;
- and
- a debubbling sleeve having a receptacle closed circumferentially and including a sleeve bottom extending perpendicular with respect to a longitudinal axis of the receptacle and an extension extending from the sleeve bottom substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receptacle, the sleeve bottom and the extension enclose the receptacle along the longitudinal axis except for a first passageway extending through a portion of the sleeve bottom, the fluid sensor disposed inside the debubbling sleeve and the suction tube protruding through the first passageway to an area outside the debubbling sleeve such that the inlet port is disposed outside the debubbling sleeve, the extension has an extension passageway extending through the extension, and the extension passageway is open in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is in communication with the receptacle.
A sensor system, comprising:
- a sensor assembly having a fluid sensor and a suction tube with an inlet port;
- and
- a debubbling sleeve having a receptacle closed circumferentially and including a sleeve bottom, a first passageway extending through the sleeve bottom, and an extension extending from the sleeve bottom substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the receptacle, a distal end of the extension having an extension passageway forming a sediment exhaust opening, the extension passageway is open in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is in communication with the receptacle.
