Fluid consumption measurement system and method

A flow rate measurement module for a fluid measurement system, the flow rate measurement module comprising:

• a housing configured to be coupled to a vehicle;
• a supply flow meter disposed within the housing and configured to:
• receive a supply inlet flow;
• measure a supply flow rate;
• and
• provide a supply outlet flow;
• a supply inlet flow filter disposed upstream of the supply flow meter, the supply inlet flow filter configured to filter particulate from the supply inlet flow;
• a supply flow controller disposed downstream from the supply flow meter, the supply flow controller configured to control a supply outlet flow pressure of the supply outlet flow;
• a return flow meter disposed within the housing and configured to:
• receive a return inlet flow;
• measure a return flow rate;
• and
• provide a return outlet flow, wherein the supply flow meter and the return flow meter are both screw-type flow meters;
• a return inlet flow filter disposed upstream of the return flow meter, the return inlet flow filter configured to filter particulate from the return inlet flow;
• a return flow controller disposed downstream from the return inlet flow meter, the return flow controller configured to control a return outlet flow pressure of the return outlet flow;
• and
• a processor disposed within the housing and coupled to the supply flow meter and the return flow meter, the processor being configured to:
• determine, from the supply flow meter, the supply flow rate;
• determine, from the return flow meter, the return flow rate;
• and
• determine a fluid consumption rate based on the supply flow rate and the return flow rate.
