Abstract:
A pneumatic distribution system to distribute a granular product to an agricultural implement includes a valve assembly fluidly coupled between a storage tank and a primary line. The storage tank is configured to store the granular product. The primary line is configured to pneumatically deliver the granular product to the agricultural implement by guiding an air stream from a first section of the primary line with a larger cross sectional area to a second section of the primary line with a smaller cross sectional area. The valve assembly selectively enables the air stream to flow from the primary line into the storage tank until a first static pressure in the storage tank is greater than a second static pressure in the second section of the primary line by a threshold amount.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for controlling product distribution in an agricultural product distribution system, comprising:\n opening a valve, enabling an air stream to flow from a primary line into a storage tank, when a first static pressure in the storage tank is less than a second static pressure in a meter housing, downstream of a meter roller, plus a threshold amount, wherein the storage tank is configured to store a granular product, wherein the granular product is provided by the storage tank to the primary line via the meter roller, wherein the primary line is configured to pneumatically deliver the granular product to an agricultural implement by guiding the air stream through the primary line; and closing the valve when the first static pressure in the storage tank is greater than the second static pressure in the meter housing by at least the threshold amount.
