Abstract
A fluid testing system includes a fluid container with an inner surface that defines a chamber. The fluid testing system also includes a spray bar that extends circumferentially about at least a portion of the chamber, wherein the spray bar includes multiple cleaning fluid outlets to spray a cleaning fluid onto the inner surface that defines the chamber.
Claims20
A fluid testing system, comprising:
- a fluid container with an inner surface that defines a chamber;
- an inlet line fluidly coupled to the fluid container;
- an outlet line fluidly coupled to the fluid container;
- a fill pump configured to pump a sample fluid from a sample fluid source through the inlet line into the chamber of the fluid container;
- a suction pump configured to extract the sample fluid out of the chamber of the fluid container through the outlet line;
- a spray bar that extends circumferentially about at least a portion of the chamber, wherein the spray bar comprises a plurality of cleaning fluid outlets configured to spray a cleaning fluid onto the inner surface that defines the chamber;
- and
- a cleaning pump configured to pump the cleaning fluid from a cleaning fluid source into the chamber of the fluid container through the plurality of cleaning fluid outlets of the spray bar.
