Abstract
A sensor array is disclosed. The sensor array includes a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a flow path extending between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet; and at least one optimization sensor positioned outside of the flow path of the sensor array and configured to provide at least one performance parameter of the sensor array. The at least one performance parameter having performance data of the sensor array.
Claims17
A system, comprising:
- a sensor array for analysis of physical parameters and chemical constituents of a volume of fluid, the sensor array comprising:
- a housing
- a fluid inlet;
- a fluid outlet;
- a flow path within the housing and extending between the fluid inlet and fluid outlet;
- at least one sensor positioned within the flow path of the sensor array and configured to provide at least one of a measurement of a physical parameter and a measurement of a chemical constituent of the volume of fluid;
- at least one optimization sensor positioned within the housing and outside of the flow path of the sensor array, the at least one optimization sensor configured to provide at least one measurement correlating to at least one performance parameter of the sensor array;
- and
- an analyzer system having a processor configured to receive data from the at least one optimization sensor, the analyzer system having a set of instructions stored on at least one non-transitory computer readable medium, the set of instructions directing the processor to:
