Abstract
A method of transferring fluid in a motor system includes containing a first volume of fluid in a reservoir of a fluid container that is in fluid communication with a fluid receptacle of a motor and containing a second volume of fluid in the fluid receptacle. A first quantity of fluid is transferred from the fluid receptacle to the reservoir of the replaceable fluid container so as to mix the first quantity of fluid from the fluid receptacle with the volume of fluid in the reservoir of the replaceable fluid container A second quantity of fluid is transferred from the reservoir back to the fluid receptacle.
Claims15
A method for controlling a fluid drain interval in a motor, the method comprising:
- containing a first volume of fluid in a reservoir of a fluid container that is in fluid communication with a fluid receptacle of a motor;
- containing a second volume of fluid in the fluid receptacle;
- transferring a first quantity of fluid from the fluid receptacle to the reservoir of the fluid container so as to mix the first quantity of fluid from the fluid receptacle with the first volume of fluid in the reservoir of the fluid container;
- and
- transferring a second quantity of fluid from the reservoir back to the fluid receptacle.
A non-transitory computer readable medium, having stored thereon, instructions that when executed by a computing device, cause a computing device to perform operations comprising the steps of:
- transferring a first quantity of fluid from a fluid receptacle of a motor to a reservoir of a fluid container so as to mix the first quantity of fluid from the fluid receptacle with a first volume of fluid in the reservoir of the fluid container;
- and
- transferring a second quantity of fluid from the reservoir back to the fluid receptacle.
A fluid transfer system for a motor comprising:
- a replaceable fluid container housing a fluid reservoir;
- a fluid line configured to provide fluid communication between the fluid reservoir and a fluid receptacle of the motor;
- a transfer pump configured to pump fluid through the fluid line between the fluid reservoir of the replaceable fluid container and the fluid receptacle;
- and
- a controller configured to perform operations comprising the steps of:
- transferring a first quantity of fluid from the fluid receptacle of the motor to the reservoir of the fluid container so as to mix the first quantity of fluid from the fluid receptacle with a first volume of fluid in the reservoir of the fluid container;
- and
- transferring a second quantity of fluid from the reservoir back to the fluid receptacle.
