Abstract:
1. A pump monitoring device configured to be connected to a case drain of a pump, the device comprising: a manifold including an inlet configured for fluid connection to the case drain, an outlet and a fluid path extending between the inlet and the outlet; a first connector provided at the inlet of the manifold; a second connector provided at the outlet of the manifold; a flow rate sensor operatively connected to the manifold and configured to generate a signal indicative of a flow rate of a fluid flowing in the fluid path from the inlet to the outlet; a temperature sensor operatively connected to the manifold and configured to generate a signal indicative of a temperature of the fluid flowing in the flow path from the inlet to the outlet; a pressure sensor operatively connected to the manifold and configured to generate a signal indicative of a pressure of the fluid flowing in the flow path from the inlet to the outlet; and at least one fault indicator operatively coupled to at least one of the flow rate sensor, the temperature sensor, and the pressure sensor, the fault indicator being configured to provide a human perceptible indication that at least one of a sensed flow rate, a sensed temperature, or a sensed pressure of the fluid flowing in the fluid path exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
