Pulsation damper and fuel pump device
A pulsation damper includes: a case in which a fuel chamber is defined; and a damper unit arranged in the fuel chamber to attenuate pressure pulsation of fuel. The damper unit has a diaphragm that is elastically deformed by receiving pressure of fuel, and a plate having a rigidity higher than that of the diaphragm. A gas chamber is defined between the diaphragm and the plate joined with each other.
System for reducing vibrations in a pressure pumping fleet
The present technology provides an electrically powered hydraulic fracturing system having pumps for pressurizing fracturing fluid, piping for carrying fracturing fluid, and vibration reducing equipment for use with the piping. The vibration reducing equipment includes helical coils that support the piping. The coils are made of a wire rope made of strands of steel cable twisted together. Grooved fittings are provided on some piping connections, and which allow pivoting between adjacent fluid conveyance members. Swivel joints are strategically located in the piping which allow rotational flexing between adjacent sections of the piping; thereby attenuating vibration in the piping but without stressing the piping.
Isolated flexible fluid connection system
Flexible fluid connection systems are provided with misalignment management, vibration attenuation and compact packaging for a variety of applications. A fluid connection system includes a component that operates using a fluid. The component defines a surface and a passageway containing the fluid and opening through the surface. A fluid line is configured to convey the fluid relative to the component. A connector is made of a flexible material and is connected with the component and with the fluid line. The connector is positioned against the surface and has an end spaced away from the surface through which the fluid line is received.
DAMPING DEVICE
A damping device, in particular for damping or preventing pressure surges, such as pulsations, in hydraulic supply circuits, preferably in the form of a silencer, having a damping housing (2) encompassing a damping chamber (10), wherein said damping housing (2) has at least one fluid inlet (6) and at least one fluid outlet (8) as well as a fluid receiving chamber extending between the fluid inlet (6) and the fluid outlet (8), wherein during operation of the device a fluid flow coming from the fluid inlet (6) passes through the damping chamber (10) towards the fluid outlet (8) and wherein a wall part of the fluid receiving chamber extends as a guide element (16) in at least one direction of extension transverse to the direction of the fluid flow, is characterized in that in the damping chamber (10) several guide elements (16) are provided, against which the fluid can flow and which alter the flow velocity in certain areas.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSIENT MITIGATION DEVICE IN CONTINUOUS PIPELINES FOR SURGE IMPACT CONTROL
A device and method to mitigate transient events in a transported medium of fluids and gases subjected to surges, and over pressure events caused by the transient state of a transported medium in a continuous pipeline, where the device has one or more concentrically positioned multilayered composite pipes encased in an outer spool pipe with an annulus space between the spool pipe and the multilayered composite pipes, with flanged adaptors at each end of the device for inline installation in a pipeline, with a management system for receiving, processing and transmitting information gathered in combination with existing pipeline monitoring, and acoustical detection system for receiving and processing of acoustic transmission due to an acoustical wave. Mitigation of pressure events is achieved by energy dissipation and expansion of the multilayered composite pipes and reduction of amplification of pressure waves is achieved by initiation of active counter waves by expansion of the multilayered composite pipes to sinusoidal shape.
Inline fluid damper device
An inline fluid damper device comprises a flow-through conduit configured to be placed inside a larger exterior conduit through which a fluid flows. The flow-through conduit is elongated and extending around a center axis. The damper device also comprising an indirect flow conduit coupled with the flow-through conduit. The indirect flow conduit is also configured to be placed inside the larger exterior conduit. The flow-through conduit and the indirect flow conduit are configured to dampen one or more flow fluctuations or pressure fluctuations in the fluid flowing in the larger exterior conduit by dividing the fluid into a first portion that flows along the center axis through the flow-through conduit and a second portion that concurrently flows outside of the flow-through conduit along the center axis and along a different direction.
Pulsation Dampening System for High-Pressure Fluid Lines
Disclosed is an in-flow pulsation dampening system for high-pressure (e.g., 10K psi and higher) fluid lines. At high fluid flow pressures, the dampening system is a dual stage dampening system, responsive to low (e.g., when first charging the fluid line) and to very high-pressure pulsations. An external containment shell handles the full fluid flow pressures. One or more internal shells contain and handle the internal gas dampening system. The in-flow relationship of the gas dampening component assures that pressure differences between the internal gas handling system and the high-pressure fluid flow is always relatively small. This enables the gas handling components to be constructed of less robust material than the external shell (even though the gas system's internal pressure can equal that of the fluid flow), and be less susceptible to pressure failure.
Modular heat exchanger, moisture separator and pulsation dampener for a multi-stage fluid compressor
An aspect of the present disclosure includes a multi-stage compressor having a low pressure compressor stage and a high pressure compressor stage operable for compressing a working fluid. An integrated device including a heat exchanger directly connected to a combination unit is operable for reducing pressure pulsations, cooling and separating moisture in a first compressed flow stream and a second compressed flow stream discharged from the low pressure stage and the high pressure stage respectively. A first pressure pulsation dampener, a first moisture separator, a second pressure pulsation dampener and a second moisture separator are integrally formed within the combination unit.
FLUID PULSATION ATTENUATING ARRANGEMENT
A fluid pulsation attenuating arrangement includes an enclosure and a tubular member. The tubular member extends through the enclosure defining a chamber outside of the tubular member but inside of the enclosure. The tubular member includes a wall separating an interior passage of the tubular member and the chamber. A plurality of holes is formed in the wall and fluidically connects the chamber to the interior passage. An energy absorber is inside the chamber.
PULSATION DAMPENER WITH GAS RETENTION
A pulsation dampener for a dispensing system comprising a housing, a diaphragm comprising at least one fluoropolymer layer, the diaphragm dividing the housing into a first compartment and a second compartment, an inlet port and an outlet port each in fluid communication with the first compartment thereby providing a flow path for a liquid to enter the first compartment via the first inlet port and exit the first compartment via the outlet port, and at least one gas disposed within the second compartment, the at least one gas having a kinetic diameter of 0.36 nm or greater, wherein the fluoropolymer of the at least one fluoropolymer layer and the at least one gas are selected such that a gas transmittance rate of the at least one gas through the diaphragm is from 0 mbar*L/second to 1*10.sup.5 mbar*L/second.
