The one or more properties of the waste fluid can include a viscosity of the waste fluid, a pressure of the waste fluid, and/or or a difference in pressure of the waste fluid. Adjusting the flow and/or flowability of the waste fluid can include adjusting the one or more properties of the waste fluid and/or affecting the direction of flow of the waste fluid in a manner which changes the destination of the waste fluid.

Systems and methods for monitoring, detecting, and/or intervening with respect to cavitation and pulsation events during hydraulic fracturing operations may include a supervisory controller. The supervisory controller may be configured to receive pump signals indicative of one or more of pump discharge pressure, pump suction pressure, pump speed, or pump vibration associated with operation of the hydraulic fracturing pump. The supervisory controller also may be configured to receive blender signals indicative of one or more of blender flow rate or blender discharge pressure. Based on one or more of these signals, the supervisory controller may be configured to detect a cavitation event and/or a pulsation event. The supervisory controller may be configured to generate a cavitation notification signal indicative of detection of cavitation associated with operation of the hydraulic fracturing pump, and/or a pulsation notification signal indicative of detection of pulsation associated with operation of the hydraulic fracturing pump.

A method of inflating a vehicle tire, having an internal volume between about 10 gallons and about 12 gallons, includes discharging compressed air into the internal volume with an inflator. The inflator has an inflator housing, a motor within the inflator housing defining a motor axis and including an output shaft rotatable about the motor axis, a DC power source configured to provide power to the motor at a nominal output voltage, and a pump within the inflator housing and coupled to the output shaft. The pump includes a cylinder defining a cylinder axis and a piston that is reciprocable within the cylinder along the cylinder axis in response to rotation of the output shaft. By discharging compressed air into the internal volume, increasing a static pressure of the internal volume by 5 pounds per square inch (psi) from a starting pressure in the internal volume between 28 psi and 31 psi occurs within 40 to 60 seconds.

A pumping system for performing a borehole operation including pumping a fluid into a borehole. The system may include a motor, a transmission, a pump, and a control system. The motor, transmission, and pump may each include sensors. The transmission may be operatively coupled to the motor. The pump may be operatively coupled to the transmission and configured to pump fluid into the borehole. The control system may be in communication with the motor sensors, the transmission sensors, and the pump sensors. The control system may be configured to monitor the operation of the motor, the transmission, and the pump, determine if at least one of the motor, the transmission, or the pump is operating outside of predetermined parameters, and determine at least one component of the motor, the transmission, or the pump that is most likely to cause the operation to be outside of the predetermined parameters.

The present invention is directed to a method for controlling the outlet temperature of an oil injected compressor or vacuum pump comprising a compressor or vacuum element provided with a gas inlet, an element outlet, and an oil inlet, said method comprising the steps of: measuring the outlet temperature at the element outlet; and controlling the position of a regulating valve in order to regulate the flow of oil flowing through a cooling unit connected to said oil inlet; whereby the step of controlling the position of the regulating valve involves applying a fuzzy logic algorithm on the measured outlet temperature; and in that the method further comprises the step of controlling the speed of a fan cooling the oil flowing through the cooling unit by applying the fuzzy logic algorithm and further based on the position of the regulating valve.

A linear compressor includes a spring axially elastically supporting a driving assembly. The spring includes a spring body axially extending, a front spring link forming an end of the spring body by extending from a side of the spring body, and a rear spring link forming the other end of the spring body by extending from the other side of the spring body. Any one of the front spring link and the rear spring link is fixed to the driving assembly and the other one is fixed to a supporting assembly.

A compression device (1) includes compression portions, a suction line, connection lines, a discharge line, and display portions (d) configured to display pressure values, pressure gauges (PG1 to PG6) provided for at least one of the suction line, the connection lines, and the discharge line and a housing (40). The housing (40) includes a peripheral wall (42) and a door (44). The pressure gauges (PG1 to PG6) are situated at positions to face the door (44).

A cryopump system includes a plurality of cryopumps, each cryopump including a rough valve connecting the cryopump to a common rough pump and a pressure sensor measuring a pressure in the cryopump, and a controller that controls, for each cryopump, the rough valve based on a measured pressure from the pressure sensor such that the cryopump is decompressed to a first reference pressure by the common rough pump and thereafter a vacuum is maintained in the cryopump, and the cryopump is further decompressed to a second reference pressure lower than the first reference pressure by the common rough pump. The controller is configured to, based on the measured pressure from the pressure sensor of a first cryopump, open the rough valve of a second cryopump such that the second cryopump is decompressed to the first reference pressure while the vacuum is maintained in the first cryopump.

Disclosed is a status monitoring and fault diagnosis system for a plunger pump, including a monitoring and fault diagnosis device. The monitoring and fault diagnosis device monitors and diagnoses a hydraulic end assembly of a plunger pump. The monitoring and fault diagnosis device further monitors and diagnoses a power end assembly and/or a reduction gearbox assembly. Beneficial effects: The diagnosis system monitors and diagnoses not only a hydraulic end assembly, but also a power end assembly and/or a reduction gearbox assembly, that is, an equipment fault can be accurately predetermined in time for an entire plunger pump, so that high-pressure, large-displacement, and continuous operation requirements on fracturing sites at present are better satisfied, and on-demand maintenance is adopted instead of regular examination and maintenance, thereby saving labor, time, and materials to achieve economic efficiency; problems can be found as soon as possible, so that emergencies are prevented, damages are reduced, and maintenance costs are reduced; the utilization of the plunger pump is improved; and the service life of the plunger pump is extended.
