ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED LIQUID DISPENSING SYSTEM WITH MODULAR TUBING AND POWER DESIGN.

摘要

Apparatus is provided featuring a switch-mode power supply (SMPS) having a power circuit component in combination with a SMPS controller. The power circuit component may be configured to provide power to a pump that provides fluid from a container to some other device, including an appliance. The SMPS controller may be configured to receive signaling containing information about at least one control parameter selected from a group including a pressure at an outlet of the pump, a fluid level in the container and the temperature of a motor of the pump, and also may be configured to shut off the power provided to the pump based at;least partly on the signaling received so that the power circuit component substantially does not draw power and heat up when the pump is shut off.
