Abstract
A device including: a sensor for monitoring a pressure of a fluid system to produce pressure signals over a period; and a controller configured for: receiving the pressure signals over the period; establishing an operating pressure zone corresponding to the pressure signals over the period, the operating pressure zone is representative of a normal operation zone of the fluid system, the normal operation zone defined by an area bounded by a low pressure level and high pressure level, wherein the high pressure level is disposed at a level at least at a maximum pressure of the pressure signals over the period and the low pressure level is disposed at a level at most at a minimum pressure of the pressure signals over the period.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- (a) a sensor for monitoring a pressure of a fluid system to produce pressure signals over a period;
- and
- (b) a controller configured for:
- (i) receiving said pressure signals over said period;
- (ii) establishing an operating pressure zone corresponding to said pressure signals over said period, said operating pressure zone is representative of a normal operation zone of the fluid system, said normal operation zone defined by an area bounded by a low pressure level and a high pressure level, wherein said high pressure level is disposed at a level at least at a maximum pressure of said pressure signals over said period and said low pressure level is disposed at a level at most at a minimum pressure of said pressure signals over said period;
- and
- (iii) generating an action if a new pressure signal, obtained subsequent to the establishment of said operating pressure zone, is disposed outside of said normal operation zone.
