ASSEMBLY AND METHODS FOR PUMPING WATER TO SHORE
A submersible pump assembly that is capable of transporting water from a body of water, and methods of use thereof, are herein disclosed. The pump assembly includes a submersible pump, a power source for the pump, and a hose that pumps water from the body of water to a location on land. In certain embodiments, one or more filters may be used to remove particulates from the water prior to entering the submersible pump. Further, an anchor and warning pole may be incorporated to prevent the submersible pump from being displaced, and to provide notification to others in the water of the presence of the submersible pump and anchor.
ENCLOSURE ASSEMBLY FOR ENHANCED COOLING OF DIRECT DRIVE UNIT AND RELATED METHODS
Embodiments of an enclosure assembly to enhance cooling of a hydraulic fracturing direct drive unit (DDU) during operation are included. The enclosure assembly may include an enclosure body extending at least partially around an enclosure space to house the DDU for driving a fluid pump. The enclosure assembly may include one or more heat exchanger assemblies connected to the enclosure body for cooling a process fluid associated with one or more of the DDU and the fluid pump, and which may be configured to draw air into the enclosure space from and external environment, toward one or more radiator assemblies to cool the process fluid, and along an airflow path through the enclosure space. One or more outlet fan assemblies may be operative to discharge air from the enclosure space to the external environment to maintain a desired temperature of the enclosure space.
Power generating unit
A power generating unit including a hydraulic unit; an interface unit connected to the hydraulic unit, the interface unit being connectable to a stationary unit; a power flow shaft connected between the hydraulic unit and the interface unit for supply of a torque load therebetween; and at least one connecting element arranged between the hydraulic unit and the interface unit, the at least one connecting element being controllable between a first state in which a relative rotation between the hydraulic unit and the interface unit is allowed, and a second state in which a relative rotation between the hydraulic unit and the interface unit is prevented.
Remotely controlled integrated, portable, battery-powered, variable-pressure electric liquid pump and power emergency station
An integrated, portable, battery-powered, variable-pressure electric liquid pump and power emergency station including a remote wireless communication unit located remotely from and in wireless communication with the emergency station to improve wireless reception in the integrated, portable, battery-powered, variable-pressure electric liquid pump and power emergency station.
HYDRAULIC POWER PACK SYSTEM
This invention is a portable pneumatically driven pressure intensifying positive displacement hydraulic power unit that can be transported in a bag or backpack and carried or worn by the user. The device can be powered by any suitable high pressure gas that is preferably contained in a small pressure vessel for portability. The device can be used to supply high pressure hydraulic fluid to tools with a wide range of uses in many fields including construction, industrial, breaching, and emergency service situations. This novel device does not require an electric or fuel powered hydraulic fluid pumping system, which allows it to be very portable and used in almost any environment (e.g., hazardous atmosphere or under water) without being tethered to an electric or fuel powered power source.
Turbine Fracturing Apparatus and Turbine Fracturing Well Site
An example turbine fracturing apparatus and an example turbine fracturing well site are disclosed. The turbine fracturing apparatus may include a turbine engine, configured to provide power; a deceleration device, having an input end and a plurality of output ends, the input end being connected with the turbine engine; a plurality of plunger pumps, connected with the plurality of output ends, respectively, each of the plurality of plunger pumps being configured to intake low-pressure fluid and discharge high-pressure fluid; and an auxiliary power unit, configured to provide auxiliary power to at least one of the turbine engine, the deceleration device, or each of the plurality of plunger pumps. The auxiliary power unit, the turbine engine, and the deceleration device may be sequentially arranged.
Transmission Shaft Brake for Engine Auto Restart
A system and method for controlling a hydraulic fracturing pumping system is described herein. The method can include stopping an engine coupled to a hydraulic fracturing pumping system including at least one pump by supplying pressure from an accumulator to a hydraulic braking system including a brake. The method can also include starting the engine coupled to the hydraulic fracturing pumping system and releasing the brake.
Mechanically driven modular diaphragm pump
Modular mechanically driven diaphragm pump features are presented herein. Such a diaphragm pump can include a motor, a drive mechanism, and a coupling mounted on a wheeled frame. A diaphragm pump can be mounted to the coupling by forming mechanical static and dynamic connections to brace a housing of the diaphragm pump relative to a drive rod which is moved by the drive mechanism to operate the pump. These mechanical static and dynamic connections can be broken to dismount the pump for replacement or servicing. In some cases, a gas charge can be introduced on the non-working fluid side of the diaphragm to boost performance and/or a dampener can be integrated into the housing of the diaphragm pump and mounted/dismounted with the diaphragm pump.
Fluid routing plug
A fluid routing plug for use with a fluid end section. The fluid end section being one of a plurality of fluid end sections making up a fluid end side of a high pressure pump. The fluid routing plug is installed within a horizontal bore formed in a fluid end section and is configured to route fluid throughout the fluid end section.
PUMP APPARATUS
Pump apparatus comprising a base having a forward end region and a rearward end region with a longitudinal axis extending in a direction between the forward and rearward end region, a power unit and a reel assembly operatively mounted to the base, the reel assembly including a reel mounted for rotation about a rotation axis which extends laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis, a fluid conveying conduit operatively carried by the reel and adapted to be wound on, or payed out therefrom, at the forward end region of the base, the fluid conveying conduit being underwound onto the reel so that it is wound on and payed out adjacent the base, a guide device at the forward end region of the base for guiding the conduit onto or from the reel, and a vehicle which is at least partially submersible in fluid and which can be propelled over a surface on which it stands, the vehicle including a pump which is operatively connectable to the fluid conveying conduit.
