Additive delivery system with sensors

Abstract

An additive management system is disclosed. The system includes an additive selection system, which selects an additive for dispensing into a working fluid. The system also includes an additive dispensing system having a fluid sensing chamber with sensors. The system also includes an additive delivery system, which delivers the selected additive to the additive dispensing system, and a processor which causes the fluid sensing chamber to receive a sample of the working fluid, receives measurement signals from the one or more fluid parameter sensors corresponding with the values of fluid parameters of the working fluid, and determines values for fluid parameters of the working fluid based on the measurement signals. The processor also causes the additive delivery system to deliver the selected additive to the additive dispensing system and causes the additive dispensing system to dispense the selected additive into the working fluid through the fluid sensing chamber.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An additive management system, comprising:
 an additive selection system, configured to select one of a plurality of additives for dispensing into a working fluid;   an additive dispensing system, comprising a fluid sensing chamber comprising one or more fluid parameter sensors;   an additive delivery system, configured to deliver the selected additive to the additive dispensing system; and   a processor configured to cause the fluid sensing chamber to receive a sample of the working fluid, to receive working fluid measurement signals from the one or more fluid parameter sensors corresponding with values of fluid parameters of the working fluid, and to determine one or more values for one or more fluid parameters of the working fluid based on the received working fluid measurement signals,   wherein the processor is further configured to cause the additive delivery system to deliver the selected additive to the additive dispensing system and to cause the additive dispensing system to dispense the selected additive into the working fluid through the fluid sensing chamber.
