Claims20
A flow sensor assembly, comprising:
- a housing configured to couple to a fluid line, wherein the housing comprises an inlet for receiving a flow of a first fluid;
- and
- a sensor coupled to the housing and configured to measure a flow level of a second fluid passing through the fluid line.
A well system, comprising:
- a well string disposed in a wellbore extending into a subterranean formation;
- a fluid line extending from the wellbore, wherein the fluid line is configured to direct a flow of a wellbore fluid from the wellbore;
- and
- a flow sensor assembly coupled to the fluid line, the flow sensor assembly comprising:
- a housing configured to couple to the fluid line, wherein the housing comprises an inlet configured to direct a pressurized fluid against an inner surface of the housing;
- and
- a sensor coupled to the housing and configured to measure a flow level of the wellbore fluid passing through the fluid line.
