Combination isolation valve and check valve with integral flow rate, pressure, and/or temperature measurement with wireless power
First Claim
1. A wirelessly powered system, comprisinga wirelessly powered combination valve for a hydronic system, havinga positive shut-off isolation valve configured in the hydronic system to prevent fluid flow, including to allow for maintenance of the hydronic system,a check valve configured in the hydronic system to prevent backflow and gravity circulation which can harm the hydronic system, andone or more sensors configured to sense one or more corresponding pressure, temperature or flow measurements of the fluid flow in the hydronic system and provide sensor signaling containing information about the one or more corresponding pressure, temperature or flow measurements sensed of the fluid flow in the hydronic system;
- andan onboard wireless power receiver configured to receive wireless power signaling, and provide power to energize the one or more sensors.

Abstract
A wirelessly powered system includes a wirelessly powered combination isolation valve and check valve for a hydronic system, having a positive shut-off isolation valve configured in the hydronic system to prevent fluid flow, including to allow for maintenance of the hydronic system, a check valve configured in the hydronic system to prevent backflow and gravity circulation which can harm the hydronic system, and a combination of one or more sensors configured to sense a corresponding combination of one or more pressure, temperature or flow measurements of the fluid flow in the hydronic system and provide sensor signaling containing information about the corresponding combination of the one or more pressure, temperature or flow measurements sensed of the fluid flow in the hydronic system; and an onboard wireless power receiver configured to receive wireless power signaling, and provide power to energize the combination of the one or more sensors.
