A lubricant pump for conveying lubricant from a lubricant reservoir to a pump outlet includes a pump housing with a longitudinal axis. The pump housing has a receiving opening for a pump unit, a lubricant inlet opening and a lubricant outlet opening opening into the receiving opening, a pump drive, and a pump unit with a reciprocatingly movable delivery piston. The pump unit has a suction opening, which corresponds with the lubricant outlet opening when the pump unit is inserted into the receiving opening, and an outlet opening for lubricant. A coupling mechanism for driving the at least one pump unit includes an eccentric element which is rotatable about the longitudinal axis, a drive-side coupling section connected to the eccentric element, and a pump-side coupling section. The drive-side coupling section and the pump-side coupling section can be connected to one another automatically via a resilient latching connection.

A seal ring is in contact with an outer peripheral surface of a plunger. A biasing ring is made of a material having a lower fuel resistance than the seal ring, and is provided radially outwardly with respect to the seal ring in a seal chamber so as to bias the seal ring against the plunger. An axial position of a portion of the seal ring where a surface pressure on the plunger is maximum is defined as a maximum surface pressure position. The seal ring has diameter changing portions in both axial directions with respect to the maximum surface pressure position. The diameter changing portions are formed so as to have an outer diameter smaller than that of the portion corresponding to the maximum surface pressure position.

A gearbox is coupled to a power end housing of a reciprocating pump, where the gearbox includes at least one support member having a first end securely affixed to the gearbox, and the at least one support member having a second end securely affixed to an immobile part of the reciprocating pump for supporting the gearbox and resisting movement of the gearbox relative to the reciprocating pump.

A hydraulic apparatus has a plurality of pump modules each of which is formed by a plurality of working chambers having a common high pressure manifold. A connecting circuit switchably connects pump modules to first and second hydraulic circuit portions to allocate capacity as first and second demands for hydraulic fluid vary. In an apparatus which may have two or more connecting circuit outputs, valves may be controlled or working chamber pumping cycles made inactive to facilitate the reallocation of a pump module from one output to another, and a control strategy addresses pump module allocation when the demands for hydraulic fluid exceed available capacity.

A high-pressure fuel pump includes a pump housing, a receiving space in the pump housing, a pressure pulsation damper in the form of a diaphragm cell having two diaphragms, which pressure pulsation damper is arranged in the receiving space, and a holding device for holding the diaphragm cell in the receiving space. The holding device includes a connection portion, which is connected to the pump housing rigidly both in an axial direction and in a radial direction. The connection portion is fastened to the pump housing, both in the axial direction and in the radial direction, to an inner lateral surface of the pump housing that delimits the receiving space.

A long sleeve cartridge for being inserted into a fluid end block of a pump is disclosed. The long sleeve cartridge includes a body and a sleeve bore extending through the body. The sleeve bore includes a first inner diameter and a second inner diameter. The first inner diameter is less than the second inner diameter. A first aperture is located on the body, and a second aperture is located on the body in a radial position substantially diametrically opposite of the first aperture. A packing seal assembly is secured within the long sleeve cartridge. The packing seal assembly includes one or more seals and a biasing mechanism to provide a compression force on the seals. The packing seal assembly is arranged within the second inner diameter when the packing seal assembly is disposed within the long sleeve cartridge.

This disclosure provides a valve seat having cladded surfaces of high hardness in order to improve the service life of valve seats. The cladded surfaces may include various materials of favorable mechanical properties for mitigating failure mechanisms known for common valve seats (e.g., having a common base metal throughout). In one example, the cladded surfaces are created using an additive manufacturing process, such as laser metal deposition. The cladded surfaces offer advantages including metallurgical bonding, localized low heat input at the laser focus (thus enabling accurate control of temperature and mitigating undesirable heat treatment effects), ductility in middle layers for increasing impact resistance, variable cladding thickness (optionally exceeding 1 mm), increased hardness by material and fusing temperature selections, corrosion resistance, modification of mechanical properties of the same selected material, and allowing for sensor embedment.

The present disclosure is directed to a system for fracturing operation in oil/gas fields. The disclosed fracturing system is integrated onto a semitrailer that can be conveniently transported to any oil field. The disclosed fracturing system further includes major components needed for delivering high-pressure fracturing fluid into a wellhead, including but not limited to at least one power generation source and at least one plunger pump driven by the at least one power generation source via simple transmission mechanisms utilizing reduction gearbox and/or transmission shafts. The power generation source, in particular, includes a turbine engine capable of being powered by 100% natural gasified liquid fuel. The fracturing system further includes hydraulic and cooling component for serving the various needs for the turbine engine, the reduction gearbox, and the plunger pump, such as lubrication of various moving parts
