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 2):
The pneumatic distribution system of  claim 1 , wherein the valve assembly comprises:\n a first pressure sensor configured to be fluidly coupled to the storage tank and to output a first signal indicative of the first static pressure in the storage tank; a second pressure sensor configured to be fluidly coupled to the primary line and to output a second signal indicative of second static pressure in the second section of the primary line; a valve configured to be fluidly coupled between the storage tank and the primary line, wherein the valve is configured to selectively enable the air stream to flow from the primary line to the storage tank; and a controller communicatively coupled to the first pressure sensor, to the second pressure sensor, and to the valve, wherein the controller is configured to instruct the valve to enable the air stream to flow from the primary line into the storage tank until the first static pressure is greater than the second static pressure by the threshold amount.
