Abstract
A fuel system includes a chamber for storing a fuel, an optical differential pressure sensor, and one or more processors in communication with the optical differential pressure sensor. The optical differential pressure sensor is fluidically connected to the chamber and is configured to, when the fuel is stored in the chamber, output a signal indicative of a pressure difference in the optical differential pressure sensor to the one or more processors.
Claims20
A fuel system comprising:
- a chamber for storing a fuel;
- an optical differential pressure sensor;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the optical differential pressure sensor,
- wherein the optical differential pressure sensor is fluidically connected to the chamber and is configured to, when the fuel is stored in the chamber, output a signal indicative of a pressure difference in the optical differential pressure sensor to the one or more processors.
2 more elements
A method of gauging a fuel stored within a chamber, the method comprising:
- measuring a differential pressure in the chamber using an optical differential pressure sensor;
- outputting, by the optical differential pressure sensor, a signal indicative of the differential pressure;
- receiving, at one or more processors, the signal output by the differential pressure sensor;
- and
- based on the received signal, gauging the fuel stored within the chamber using the one or more processors.
