Abstract
A device is provided for controlling the load of a mobile fluid pump which at an exit side is coupled to an outlet conduit, including an assembly that is a mobile unit and that includes an inlet conduit that can be coupled to the outlet conduit, which inlet conduit branches into a first conduit part and a second conduit part. A controllable closing valve is accommodated in the first conduit part and a turbine is accommodated in the second conduit part. A pressure sensor is accommodated in the inlet conduit, the first conduit part or the second conduit part, further including a generator that is drivable by the turbine and a measurement and control circuit that can be coupled to the pressure sensor and the controllable closing valve.

A device for controlling the load of a fluid pump that is accommodated in a combination having a driving motor for said fluid pump,
- wherein at an exit side the fluid pump is coupled to an outlet conduit,
- wherein the device is provided by an assembly that is a mobile unit and that comprises:
- a conduit system, comprising an inlet conduit that can be coupled to the outlet conduit, which inlet conduit branches into a first conduit part and a second conduit part, wherein a controllable closing valve is accommodated in the first conduit part and a turbine is accommodated in the second conduit part, and wherein a pressure sensor is accommodated in one of the outlet conduit, the inlet conduit, the first conduit part and the second conduit part,
- a generator that is drivable by the turbine, and
- a measurement and control circuit that can be coupled to the pressure sensor and the controllable closing valve for consecutively,
- setting a target value of the fluid pressure in the outlet conduit and
- in a coupled condition of the outlet conduit and the conduit system in dependence on the value of the fluid pressure as measured by the pressure sensor, controlling the controllable closing valve such that the measured value of the fluid pressure corresponds to the target value.
