Definitions
- This invention relates to a wireless alarm for a vacuum sewage system and a vacuum sewage system incorporating a wireless alarm system.
- the present invention relates generally to vacuum sewerage transport systems for conveying sewage collected in a holding sump to a downstream collection vessel maintained under the influence of vacuum or subatmospheric pressure, and more specifically to a wireless alarm or alarm system that signals when an undesired condition is present in the vacuum sewage system, e.g. a hung valve or undesired line pressure condition.
- Vacuum sewage systems are becoming increasingly more popular, especially where common gravity-type sewage systems are unsuitable due to topographical (e.g., uphill gradient from sewage entry point to collection point) and/or underground conditions (e.g., rocks, pipes, and other underground barriers which reduce the depth at which pipes need to be buried to provide continuous downhill gradient).
- topographical e.g., uphill gradient from sewage entry point to collection point
- underground conditions e.g., rocks, pipes, and other underground barriers which reduce the depth at which pipes need to be buried to provide continuous downhill gradient.
- a vacuum sewage system at atmospheric pressure is moved by means of differential pressure through a transport conduit maintained at vacuum or subatmospheric pressure by means of a vacuum pump operatively connected to a collection vessel.
- vacuum sewerage system 10 comprises a sump pit 12 buried beneath ground level 13 to which are connected a plurality of gravity lines 14 emanating from sewage sources 16. External gravity vent 18 positioned above ground ensures that sewage reaches sump pit 12 at or around atmospheric pressure.

- vacuum sewerage system 10 comprises sump pit 12 buried beneath ground level 13 to which is connected gravity line 14 which receives sewage or waste water from a sewage source such as a residential or commercial building.
- An external gravity vent 18, which protrudes above-ground, is connected to gravity line 14 and ensures that sewage reaches sump pit 12 at or around atmospheric pressure.
- a vacuum collection station Located a distance away from sump pit 12 is a vacuum collection station containing a collection vessel (see FIG. 1 - ref. 20) maintained at vacuum or subatmospheric pressure by means of a vacuum pump(s).
- the vacuum collection vessel is operatively connected to sump pit 12 by means of a vacuum transport conduit 22.
- a top panel 24 of sump pit 12 is connected to the sidewalls thereof in a sealed relationship in order to provide a pressure-tight vessel.
- valve pit 26 Positioned on top of the top panel 24 is valve pit 26, which is accessed at ground level by a manhole cover 28. Located within valve pit 26 is vacuum interface valve 30. Vacuum interface valve 30 is operatively connected to sump pit 12 by means of suction pipe 36. When the sewage level in the sump pit reaches a predetermined evacuation or discharge level, a sensor-controller (not shown) operatively connected to valve 30 triggers the opening of valve 30 and a sewage transport cycle commences, whereby sewage from the sump pit is transported through transport conduit 22 to collection vessel 20 (FIG. 1) due to the pressure differential between the sump pit 12 (atmospheric pressure) and the collection vessel (vacuum or subatmospheric pressure). When the pressure condition in the valve sensor-controller reaches a predetermined level, the sensor-controller returns the valve to a closed position to terminate the sewage transport cycle.
- valve position sensor 40 is operably connected to or associated with valve 30.
- Valve position sensor 40 operates to detect or sense when valve 30 is in the open position.
- the valve position sensor senses the valve position using a reed switch activated by a magnet mounted internally in a valve piston cup. In operation, the magnet moves with the valve operation.
- a preferred reed switch-type valve position sensor is depicted.
- valve position sensor 40 includes a reed switch mounted in housing 54 (e.g., a nylon housing).
- a magnet 50 is slid into a clip 56, which is pushed into a channel 58 on the inside of the piston cup 52.
- the magnet clip 56 is held in place by interference fit with the piston cup 52.
- a notch on the lower housing is provided to indicate the center of the magnet for alignment during assembly.
- valve position sensor When the valve is opened, the valve position sensor provides a closed contact output (this example is for the NC contacts).
- a closed contact output this example is for the NC contacts.
- valve position sensor 40 upon detection of an open valve, transmits a signal through wire 62 housed in conduit 60.
- Conduit 60 is preferably constructed of a material that prevents water from permeating into the conduit, such as a PVC or other plastic material.
- Wire 62 is connected to a valve position notification device 70 (also called a hung valve notification device or HVN device), which is capable of receiving and processing the signal (and hence information) received from the valve position sensor 40 through signal wire 62.
- Valve position notification device 70 is a wireless communication device capable of broadcast or transmitting a signal that conveys the information received from the valve position sensor.
- valve position notification device 70 works in conjunction with the valve position sensor to transmit to a remote computer (e.g., a computer at a central vacuum station) or to portable receiving device so as to alert the vacuum system operator when a valve is hung open.
- a remote computer e.g., a computer at a central vacuum station
- portable receiving device so as to alert the vacuum system operator when a valve is hung open.
- the valve position notification device includes a housing 71, removable lid 72 and antenna 73.
- a circuit board 74 that includes a wireless transmission card.
- the valve notification device is programmed with a predetermined maximum valve-open time, preferably and typically between about 1-10 minutes.
- valve position notification device receives a signal from the position sensor for a duration greater than the predetermined set time, it broadcasts a signal to the computer at the vacuum station or the portable receiving device so that maintenance personnel can be dispatched to the location where the valve is hung open.
- an identifier such as a number
- a unit ID is preferably assigned to each valve position notification device.
- the valve position notification device receives a signal from the position sensor for a duration greater than the predetermined set time, it broadcasts a signal containing the unit ID and duration the valve has remained open. Based on the unit ID, maintenance personnel can then go directly to the hung open valve and repair the problem.
- Dipswitches 75 are preferably located on the circuit board 74 in order to allow the unit ID to be changed and to allow the signal-triggering time (i.e., the maximum valve-open time) to be changed to met the needs of a particular valve pit.
- the valve position notification device also includes a cycle counter 78.
- the cycle counter is used to count each valve operation, providing a means to detect valves receiving excessive flows or to assist with the billing of customers based on sewage flow.
- the cycle counter is actuated by an internal magnet mounted in the piston of the valve 30.
- a cycle count is added whenever the piston inside the valve operator lifts from its seated position.
- the counter includes a delay period (e.g., 9 seconds) after receiving a count where it will not accept another input. This is to prevent cycle fluctuations from causing erroneous cycle counts. With this delay period the counter is capable of correctly counting normal low frequency input, up to the peak flow the valve is rated for.
- valve position notification unit operates at a frequency between 902-928 MHz and voltage of 6.0 Vdc and has a range of at least about 1.5 miles.
- the Maxstream Xtend RF modem has been found to be particularly suitable for use in the present system.
- valve position notification device is powered by solar panels 16 and a 9-volt rechargeable battery 77.
- the unit preferably "wakes up” only every 20 seconds (or other regular interval) to check for a signal from the valve position sensor.
- the valve position notification device 70 is a device that includes a programmable chip, an input for receiving input from the valve position sensor, a connection to adjust time delays, a cycle counter, means to send a signal to the operator (e.g., to a computer at a vacuum station) that identifies the pit or unit with a malfunctioning valve or other problem, and a power source (e.g., a battery).
- FIG. 4 there is shown a diagram of a vacuum sewage system having multiple valve pits having assigned pit ID numbers 1-14.
- a vacuum station 100 serving the multiple valve pits and system users is shown.
- Located on the outside of station 100 is an antenna 102 and within station 100 is a computer 104 capable of receiving signals (and hence information) through the antenna that has been transmitted by the valve position notification devices located at each valve pit.
- the computer is configured to log alarm signals from the valve position notification devices and is capable of displaying a map of the valve pits, such as that shown in FIG. 4.
- valve position notification device which signal contains the ID number associated with the malfunctioning valve
- the computer upon receiving an alarm signal from a valve position notification device, which signal contains the ID number associated with the malfunctioning valve, the computer will display on the map or otherwise indicate the particular valve(s) that has malfunctioned.
- FIG. 4 shows multiple valves sharing a common vacuum line, the valve position notification device and the computer or portable signal receiver need not be on the same vacuum line, eliminating the need for multiple computers when multiple vacuum stations are present.
- the valve position notification device includes a battery-power monitor.
- the valve position notification unit sends an alarm signal to the computer, with the assigned unit ID number and an indication that the battery needs to be replaced.
- the wireless alarm system described herein can be configured and used to detect high sewage levels in the sump, which fluid levels can be detected, for example, by well-known liquid float-type switches having a non-powered, dry contact with two-wire output.
- the wireless alarm system described herein can be configured and used to detect low vacuum level in a vacuum sewer main, which vacuum levels can be detected, for example, by well-known non-powered, dry contact, two-wire output pressure switches used for monitoring vacuum levels.
