Constant voltage power distribution system for use with an electric hydraulic fracturing system
A hydraulic fracturing system includes a turbine generator for producing electricity at a well site, the turbine generator producing electrical energy at a voltage. The system also includes an electric pump electrically coupled to the turbine generator and receiving operative power from the turbine generator. The system further includes switch gear arranged between the electric pump and the turbine generator, the switch gear distributing electrical energy from the turbine generator to the electric pump, wherein the voltage remains substantially constant from the turbine generator to the electric pump.

ASYNCHRONOUS FRAC-TO-FRAC OPERATIONS FOR HYDROCARBON RECOVERY AND VALVE SYSTEMS
The present description relates to processes and systems for asynchronous frac-to-frac operations for recovering hydro-carbons. The processes can include the use of injection-only and production-only valves that include a housing and at least one sleeve as well as flow restriction components, check valves, or other features. The flow restriction component can be a tortuous path provided in the sleeve. The check valves can be integrated into the sleeve or into the housing of the valve. Various different types of valve assemblies can be used and integrated with flow restriction components and/or check valves.

Portable pump with hose reel and transport
A pump trailer including a frame, a pump and at least one locomotion member. The pump is suspended within the frame using an elevator. The at least one locomotion member is coupled to a base of the frame to facilitate motion of the frame over terrain. The elevator raises the pump to a fully raised position or lowers the pump to a pumping position.

System and method for evacuating a process space
A method for evacuating a process space by initially evacuating the process space to a pressure limit value using two compressors operated in parallel, and on reaching or undershooting the pressure limit value, the process space is subsequently evacuated using the two compressors operated in series.
