  • the pressure developed in the accumulator 147 is stored (even when the pressure in outlet conduit 132 drops) due to the resistance to reverse flow attributed to the check valve 143.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une unité de commande de moteur à vitesse variable, cette unité mesurant la charge électrique appliquée sur le moteur qui entraîne une pompe en rotation. Une sortie de l'unité de commande peut être utilisée pour déclencher une soupape d'évent, ou l'alimentation du moteur peut être coupée si le niveau de charge indique un écoulement limité de fluide entrant côté aspiration de la pompe, comme celui qui pourrait être provoqué par une occlusion du drain dans une piscine. Un capteur en communication avec le côté aspiration de la pompe estime un niveau de vide/pression présent et peut être utilisé pour vérifier qu'un état de fonctionnement voulu pour le moteur à vitesse variable et la pompe est actualisé, autrement, un traitement d'anomalie est demandé. Cette surveillance de la pression/vide peut être réalisée par l'intermédiaire des variations de vitesse du moteur/pompe.
