Abstract
The present invention provides a system for measuring instantaneous inflow rate of liquid, comprising: a receptacle, comprising an opening at a top side, a nozzle at a bottom and/or multiple holes on the side section of said receptacle configured to receive the inflow of liquid from said top opening, and simultaneously release said liquid through said nozzles; a sensing device, configured to sense the level of liquid within the receptacle and produce signals indicative of the level of liquid in the receptacle; and a processor, configured to receive said signals, calculate the level of liquid in the receptacle according to said signals; and analyze said calculations, to obtain the instantaneous inflow rate of liquid.
Claims10
A system for measuring inflow rate of liquid comprising:
- a receptacle comprising a top portion, a bottom portion, an opening arranged at the top portion, a nozzle arranged at the bottom portion, an inner element comprising an at least partially cylindrical-shaped side wall and a plurality of openings arranged along a perimeter of the at least partially cylindrical-shaped side wall, and a dome-shaped part comprising a side wall and a plurality of openings arranged along a perimeter of the side wall of the dome-shaped part, wherein the receptacle is configured to allow a liquid to flow through the plurality of openings of the dome-shaped part and the plurality of openings of the inner element into an interior of the receptacle and out of said interior through said nozzle;
- a sensing device configured to generate one or more signals indicative of a level of the liquid in the interior of the receptacle;
- and
- a processor configured to receive said one or more signals and determine an inflow rate of the liquid based on said one or more signals.
