Responding To Moisture At One Or More Zones Around An Outer Surface Of A Liquid-carrying Pipe

An apparatus for responding to moisture at one or more zones around an outer surface of a liquid-carrying pipe, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:

• monitoring, by a moisture correction controller, a plurality of moisture sensors, each moisture sensor configured to detect moisture at a separate zone around the outer surface of the liquid-carrying pipe;
• based on the monitoring of the plurality of moisture sensors, calculating and tracking, for each zone, by the moisture correction controller, a level of moisture detected by a moisture sensor;
• based on the tracked levels of moisture detected at the zones, selecting, by the moisture correction controller, between condensation or a leak from within the liquid-carrying pipe as a source of the moisture detected at the zones around the liquid-carrying pipe;
• and
• administering, by the moisture correction controller, a corrective action based on the selection of the source of the moisture detected at the zones around the liquid-carrying pipe.

A computer program product for responding to moisture at one or more zones around an outer surface of a liquid-carrying pipe, the computer program product disposed upon a computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out the steps of:

• monitoring, by a moisture correction controller, a plurality of moisture sensors, each moisture sensor configured to detect moisture at a separate zone around the outer surface of the liquid-carrying pipe;
