Wireline power supply during electric powered fracturing operations
A system and method for supplying electric power to various pieces of fracturing equipment in a fracturing operation with gas powered generators. The system and method also includes switch gears, auxiliary trailers, transformers, power distribution panels, new receptacles, and cables to supply three-phase power to electric fracturing equipment. The switchgear in the power supply system is weatherproof and able to endure the wear and tear of mobilization. The novel system and method provide clean and quiet electricity to all the equipment on site.
Systems and methods to enhance intake air flow to a gas turbine engine of a hydraulic fracturing unit
Systems and methods to increase intake air flow to a gas turbine engine of a hydraulic fracturing unit when positioned in an enclosure may include providing an intake expansion assembly to enhance intake air flow to the gas turbine engine. The intake expansion assembly may include an intake expansion wall defining a plurality of intake ports positioned to supply intake air to the gas turbine engine. The intake expansion assembly also may include one or more actuators connected to a main housing of the enclosure and the intake expansion assembly. The one or more actuators may be positioned to cause the intake expansion wall to move relative to the main housing between a first position preventing air flow through the plurality of intake ports and a second position providing air flow through the plurality of intake ports to an interior of the enclosure.

OPERATION METHOD OF A TURBINE FRACTURING DEVICE AND A TURBINE FRACTURING DEVICE
An operation method of a turbine fracturing device and a turbine fracturing device are provided. The turbine fracturing device includes a turbine engine, a speed reducer, a brake mechanism, and a fracturing pump, the method includes: driving, by the turbine engine, the fracturing pump to perform a fracturing operation through the speed reducer so as to keep the fracturing pump in an operating state, the fracturing pump being configured to suck fluid of a first pressure and discharge fluid of a second pressure, the second pressure being greater than the first pressure; and in response to an idling instruction, the turbine engine entering an idling state and triggering a brake operation so as to keep the fracturing pump in a non-operating state.

Rocket-engine turbopump
A turbopump includes: a main shaft rotatably supported; a pump section including an impeller attached to one end of the main shaft; and a turbine section including: a disk attached to the other end of the main shaft, rotor blades provided on an outer periphery of the disk, and nozzles provided inclined to an entrance plane of a blade cascade constituted of the rotor blades, the nozzles having axisymmetric cross sections and arranged in at least two rows along a circumferential direction of the main shaft in a plane orthogonal to the main shaft.
Methods and systems for cooling a pressurized fluid with a reduced-pressure fluid
Systems and methods for reducing the pressure of a first pressurized fluid, thereby reducing the temperature of the pressurized fluid, and utilization of the reduced-pressure and temperature fluid to cool a second fluid. Such an approach can enable a reduction in the size and weight of a hydraulic system, utilize waste energy in a system, and/or minimize electrical power requirements of a system, among other benefits.
