Abstract
An apparatus, a system and a method monitor fluid flows and/or filter conditions and/or distribute a single fluid. The apparatus and the system supply and/or maintain fluid requirements of one or more hydraulic systems with the single fluid from a reservoir. The filtered inlets transfer and/or add the single fluid to an interior of the reservoir. Each of the filtered inlets have a sensor to monitor, to detect and/or to determine fluid flows and/or fluid conditions of the single fluid in and/or filter conditions of one or more filtered inlets. Distribution of the single fluid to one or more hydraulic systems is prioritized by a single fluid in a first volume or in a second volume of an interior of the reservoir. A partition in the interior of the reservoir separates and/or forms the second volume and the first volume of the reservoir. The reservoir has one or more outlet ports for distributing and/or for supplying the single fluid to one or more hydraulic systems.
