Abstract

The present invention is a wireless electronic control device, primarily intended to be attached to the impulse valve of a Hydraulic Ram Pump (‘HRP’), enabling remote automatic and manual management of the HRP. The Electronic Ram Pump Controller (‘ERPC’) may be used to control the HRP, through the restriction of the fluids entering/or exiting the pump. In the presented form, the Impulse Valve Manager (‘IVM’), attaches to an impulse valve and restricts, to a varying degree, the aperture size of the impulse valve. Through this control mechanism the HRP may be sealed, started, or tuned—either remotely by a user or automatically through the ERPC's automated systems. The presented version can be augmented with valve actuation and sensing of the impulse cycle. The ERPC may be retrofitted or incorporated into the design of a new HRP.
