Abstract:
A fluid recovery system including in combination:a source of fluid effluent; a diverter valve with an input coupled to receive fluid from the source of fluid effluent and having first and second outputs for selectively diverting fluid to the first or second output thereof; a first fluid parameter sensor coupled to sense a predetermined threshold level of a parameter of the fluid effluent before the input of the diverter valve; a second fluid parameter sensor coupled to sense a predetermined threshold level of parameter of fluid at the first output of the diverter valve; and a valve control circuit coupled with the first and second sensors and responsive to sensing of the predetermined parameters of fluid by both the first and second fluid parameter sensors to operate the diverter valve to direct fluid at the input thereof to the second output thereof, and further operating the diverter valve to direct fluid to the first output thereof when at least one of the first and second fluid parameter sensors senses a level of a predetermined parameter of fluid above the predetermined threshold level thereat.
