MULTI-PUMP SYSTEM WITH SYSTEM CHECK

Design solutions to mitigate the following four fatal flaws in the conventional pump system design; namely, (1) surprise pump-failure in single pump designs that can result in costly water damage; (2) the threat of fatal high voltage electrocution due to flooding; (3) grid power outage and no energy supply to support the needed pumping power that results in water damage; (4) foil odor from the standing water in the well after a period of low seeping rate with or without activated pumping. The principles described herein can completely mitigate the above four fatal design issues.

DYNAMIC COMPRESSOR CONTROLS
20240240629 · 2024-07-18 ·

A dynamic compressor control is provided. The dynamic compressor control includes sensors to sense operating parameters of a compressor and a compressor analytic software package. The compressor analytic software package uses the sensed operating parameters of the compressor to generate key performance indicators. The key performance indicators are used to calculate process variables for the compressor. The dynamic compressor control uses the sensed operating parameters and the process variables calculated from the key performance indicators to provide operating alarms and/or shutdowns.

PREDICTIVE TUBE FAILURE DETECTION FOR PUMP

A pump system can include a tube disposed about a rotor. The rotor can be configured to drive fluid through the tube as the rotor rotates. The tube can be replaceable when the tube fails. The pump system can include a processor configured to determine a predicted number of revolutions of the rotor before the tube fails based on a number n of past tube failure detection (TFD) events. Each past TFD event can have a corresponding n.sup.th TFD value based at least in part on the number of revolutions the rotor had rotated before the tube failed. When n=0, the predicted number of revolutions can be set to a putative value, and when n=1, the predicted number of revolutions can be based at least in part on the first TFD value and the putative value.

SERVICE MODULE FOR TROUBLESHOOTING PUMPING UNIT
20180347559 · 2018-12-06 ·

A service module for troubleshooting a pumping unit, particularly that used in the oil/gas industry, is operatively coupled between a motor of the pumping unit and a high pressure shutoff sensor which acts to kill the motor of the pumping unit in the event a pressure of the pipeline exceeds a prescribed threshold. The service module is operable in a first normal operating mode in which the shutoff sensor acts as it normally would to shut off the motor when the prescribed threshold is exceeded, and in a second troubleshooting mode where the normal operation of the shutoff sensor is bypassed for a predetermined period of time. After the predetermined period of time of the second troubleshooting mode has elapsed, the service module automatically returns to the normal operating mode. The shutoff sensor thus remains operatively coupled to the motor during troubleshooting of the motor.

Pump drive system

A drive system for a fluid displacement pump includes an electric motor, a drive coupled to the rotor at a first end of the electric motor, a pump including a fluid displacement member mechanically coupled to the drive, and a controller configured to control a level of power to the electric motor based on a pressure setting set by a user. The electric motor includes a stator and a rotor disposed on an axis. The drive coupled to the rotor converts the rotational output to a linear, reciprocating input to power a pump.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COOLING SYSTEM PUMP CONTROL

A method of controlling a coolant distribution unit is disclosed. The method includes: starting, by a controller, a pump control mode; measuring, by a sensor, a differential pressure at a filter connected to a pump; determining, by the controller, whether the differential pressure is greater than a first predetermined value; upon determining that the differential pressure is greater than the first predetermined value, determining whether the differential pressure is greater than a second predetermined value, wherein the second predetermined value is greater than the first predetermined value; and upon determining that the differential pressure is less than or equal to the second predetermined value, generating a first output.
