System with two pumps (B1, B2) connected in parallel to a delivery manifold and respective electronic pressure switches (P1, P2) provided with a pressure sensor (S1, S2) connected to the delivery manifold and designed to alternate their operation between a first configuration with a first shut-down pressure (Pmax1) and a first start-up pressure (Pmin1) and a second configuration with a second shut-down pressure (Pmax2) and a second start-up pressure (Pmin2), the first shut-down pressure (Pmax1) being greater than the second shut-down pressure (Pmax2) and the first start-up pressure (Pmin1) greater than the second start-up pressure (Pmin2). Each of the pressure switches (P1, P2) is designed to alternate their operation between the two configurations according to a pressure reading (Pimp) at the delivery manifold by the pressure sensor(s) (S1, S2). The invention also relates to a pressure switch.

Refrigerant compressor installation comprising at least three compressors which are arranged in parallel between an intake conduit and a pressure conduit and which each comprise a lubricant sump unit, wherein the compressors, when in operation, work in such a way that the respective pressures in the respective lubricant sump units of the respective compressors form a pressure cascade according to which the compressors have a successively slightly decreasing pressure in the respective lubricant sump unit in a defined cascade sequence, and wherein the lubricant sump units are connected to each other in a manner corresponding to the cascade sequence by way of a lubricant conduit system for lubricant transport, and wherein each lubricant sump unit comprises a port to which is connected an insert element which on the one hand establishes communication with the lubricant conduit system and on the other hand is configured such that it predetermines, for the respective lubricant sump unit, a lubricant level from which lubricant is transported to the lubricant sump unit that follows next in the cascade sequence.

A pump for moving liquid into and out of a fixed volume chamber through acceleration of the liquid to create a liquid pressure differential within the pump. The pump includes a fixed volume chamber having a first end and second end. A suction directional valve is connected to the first end of the fixed volume chamber and a discharge directional valve is connected to the second end of the fixed volume chamber. A power source is attached to the pump volume and moves the pump volume in a reciprocating motion. An acceleration of the reciprocating motion generates a force of liquid mass within the fixed volume chamber that overcomes the suction and discharge directional valves, allowing liquid mass into the fixed volume chamber and dispelling liquid mass from the fixed volume chamber.

The present technology provides an electrically powered hydraulic fracturing system having pumps for pressurizing fracturing fluid, piping for carrying fracturing fluid, and vibration reducing equipment for use with the piping. The vibration reducing equipment includes helical coils that support the piping. The coils are made of a wire rope made of strands of steel cable twisted together. Grooved fittings are provided on some piping connections, and which allow pivoting between adjacent fluid conveyance members. Swivel joints are strategically located in the piping which allow rotational flexing between adjacent sections of the piping; thereby attenuating vibration in the piping but without stressing the piping.

A pumping station for a pipeline, in particular an oil or gas pipeline, has a feed pump for delivering a fluid through the pipeline and a combustion engine for driving the feed pump. A hydrostatic system has a hydraulic motor for driving the combustion engine, in order to accelerate same to start-up. The hydraulic system also has a hydraulic pressure accumulator of limited volume which can be filled with a pressurized hydraulic medium to be admitted to the first hydraulic motor, thereby powering the latter. A pressure differential in the hydrostatic system prevailing over the hydraulic motor is variably adjustable, in order to accelerate the combustion engine to a predefined firing speed.
