Fluid flow transducer module and assembly

A fluid flow transducer assembly comprising:

• first and second fluid flow transducer modules;
• each of said modules comprising:
• a fluid flow conduit having an inlet for receiving fluid from a fluid discharging apparatus;
• a transducer associated with said conduit for measuring rate of flow of the fluid through said conduit;
• an interface in communication with said transducer and adapted to receive and act on rate of flow measurements from said transducer;
• said fluid flow conduit having an outlet for flowing the fluid from said transducer to a reservoir, the outlet extending transversely of said fluid flow conduit;
• a housing having opposed first and second walls, each of the walls having an opening for the outlet therein;
• at least one of the walls of the first module being adapted for stacking engagement with at least one of the walls of the second module;
• said first and second modules being joined together at the respective one walls to form the fluid flow transducer assembly;
• and
• the fluid flow conduit outlets being thereby aligned to form a common conduit in communication with a reservoir for the fluid.

A fluid flow transducer assembly comprising:

• a plurality of transducer modules fastened together in stacked fashion;
• each of said modules having a fluid flow conduit in communication with a fluid source, a flow rate measuring transducer for measuring flow rate through the flow conduit, and an outlet for flowing fluid from the flow conduit out of the module;
• the outlet of each of said modules extending through the module from one side to another;
• and
• a collar member disposed at one end in the outlet of a first of the modules and at a second end in the outlet of a second of the modules to align the first and second modules;
• wherein the outlets and the collar members form a common outlet conduit for the modules.
