An improved fracturing pump is provided. The pump is reconfigurable on site. Internal components of the pump may be varied to meet the requirements of a specific operation. The reconfiguration gives the user the ability to increase or decrease the horsepower of the pump. A closed loop oil feed system provides constant and reliable lubrication even under heavy loads. The sealing system is enhanced to reduce leaks and thermal stresses. The pump also has an improved frame and chassis to reduce NVH and enhance reliability.

The invention relates to a radial reciprocating engine (1) having cylinders (5) arranged in a cylinder carrier (16) and a piston element (21) arranged in each cylinder (5) that is connected to a guide element (22), wherein the guide element (22) runs on a slide surface (14), whereby a stroke movement is imposed on the piston element (21). Since the piston element (21) is spherical at least in the region of the piston element (21) which seals the inner walls (51) of the cylinder (5) during the stroke movements, a linear seal is created, which enables a more compact design in comparison to radial pumps with cylindrical piston elements.

A fluid end for use with a power end. The fluid end comprises a plurality of fluid end sections positioned adjacent one another. Each section includes a single horizontally positioned bore. A plunger is installed within the bore and includes a fluid passageway. Low-pressure fluid enters the bore through the plunger and high-pressure fluid exits the fluid end through an outlet valve installed within the bore. The intake of low-pressure fluid within the fluid end section is regulated by an inlet valve installed within the plunger. Low-pressure fluid enters the plunger through an inlet component attached to both the plunger and an inlet manifold.

A plunger, a hydraulic end and a plunger pump are disclosed. The plunger includes a plunger body, the plunger body includes a flow channel; a first liquid inlet hole is located in the plunger body and passes through the sidewall of the plunger body; the plunger body includes a first end portion and a second end portion, a flow channel extends from the first end portion to the second end portion, a part of the flow channel close to the first end portion is closed, the flow channel extends to the second end portion and forms a first opening, the first liquid inlet hole is communicated with the flow channel, the first valve assembly is located at the first opening, and is configured to allow fluid to flow out from the flow channel at the first opening and prevent fluid from flowing back to the flow channel from outside.

A sensor system for determining a condition associated with a piston rod of a reciprocating system includes an interrogator system having a first antenna. The sensor system further includes a second antenna separated from the first antenna by an air gap distance. The second antenna is configured to be coupled to the piston rod of the reciprocating system. The second antenna is a patch antenna and is configured to communicate with the first antenna through a range of translational movement relative to the first antenna. The sensor system further includes a radio frequency sensor coupled to the second antenna. The radio frequency sensor is configured to be coupled to the piston rod of the reciprocating system, measure a characteristic associated with the piston rod of the reciprocating system, and transmit data associated with the characteristic to the first antenna of the interrogator system through the second antenna.
