Method of Retrieving a Flow Back Jet Pump from an Oil Well
A jet pump assembly is adapted to be releasably attached to a tubular member of a tubular string in an oil well. The jet pump may be pumped out of the tubular string to the surface by a reverse flow of power fluid down the well between the tubular string and the casing of the well. Consequently the jet pump may be serviced or reconfigured to a direct pumping mode without the necessity of a wire line or other apparatus. An attachment tool is provided that attaches to a fishing neck on the jet pump and also includes a plurality of seal cups. The attachment tool includes a rod which is adapted to release a locking mechanism positioned in the jet pump.
Ejector for a Sealed System
An ejector for a sealed system includes a motive liquid passage with a converging section, a throat and a diverging section. The throat of the motive liquid passage is disposed between the converging section of the motive liquid passage and the diverging section of the motive liquid passage. The ejector also includes a plurality of nucleation sites at the converging section of the motive liquid passage.
JET PUMP AND DIFFUSER EXTENSION SLEEVE OF SAME
A diffuser extension sleeve 40 includes: a fixer 41 fixed to an upper portion of a diffuser in which an edge of an inlet mixer 25 is inserted, the inlet mixer 25 guiding circulating water, which is transported from a recirculating pump by pressure, downward along an inner surface of a reactor pressure vessel; a spacer 42 having a lower portion inserted in a gap defined by an outer surface 25a of the inlet mixer and an inner surface 26a of the diffuser; and a support 43 supporting the spacer 42 from the fixer 41 side and guiding movement of the spacer 42 in a longitudinal direction of the inlet mixer 25.
FUEL GAS CIRCULATION APPARATUS
In a fuel gas circulation apparatus, a diffuser is accommodated in an attachment hole of a body. An injector is provided upstream of the diffuser through an attachment. A vibration absorption member made of elastic material is provided between a proximal end of a large diameter portion of this diffuser and a distal end of a main body in the attachment, and a ring member is provided adjacent to the vibration absorption member.
FUEL GAS CIRCULATION APPARATUS
In a fuel gas circulation apparatus, an injector for injecting a fuel gas is inserted into an attachment hole of a body. A cylindrical nozzle is provided integrally with a distal end of the injector. A diffuser is provided downstream of the injector. The diffuser mixes a redundant fuel cell and the injected fuel gas. Connection channels are formed at the proximal end of the diffuser for circulation of the off gas. A reduced diameter portion having the reduced flow channel diameter is formed downstream of a chamber where the connection channels are provided. A nozzle injection hole at the distal end of the nozzle is positioned to face, and coaxially with the reduced diameter portion to circulate the off gas toward a fuel cell stack under operation of the negative pressure generated by the diffuser.
Ejector and heat pump apparatus including the same
An ejector includes a first nozzle, a second nozzle, an atomization mechanism, and a mixer. A working fluid in a liquid phase is supplied to the first nozzle as a drive flow. A working fluid in a gas phase is sucked into the second nozzle. The atomization mechanism is disposed at an end of the first nozzle and atomizes the working fluid in a liquid phase while maintaining the liquid phase. The mixer generates a fluid mixture by mixing the atomized working fluid generated by the atomization mechanism and the working fluid in a gas phase sucked into the second nozzle. The atomization mechanism includes an ejection section that generates a jet of the working fluid in a liquid phase and a collision surface with which the jet from the ejection section collides. The collision surface is inclined with respect to a direction in which the jet flows.
SLIP JOINT CLAMPS AND METHODS FOR USE IN A NUCLEAR REACTOR JET PUMP
Slip joint clamps seat on a diffuser end via external features of the diffuser, like guide ears, regardless of slip joint wear or damage. The clamps can be opened and closed to surround an inlet mixer forming a slip joint with the diffuser without disassembly. Slip joint clamps drive or bias the inlet mixer in a lateral direction largely perpendicular to the axial orientation and end of the diffuser to achieve a desired preload force in the inlet mixer and clamp connection. Clamp arms include rotatable halves that, when joined, form a complete fill between an inner surface of the diffuser and outer surface of the inlet mixer. A lateral drive pushes the inlet mixer against the clamp and may include a resistive element. An accessible set of guide ear bolts and lateral driving bolts permit exterior manipulation to axially mount or laterally bias the clamp in the slip joint.
Assembly for controlling eductive dispensing
An assembly for controlling the eductive dispensing of multiple chemical fluids is described. The assembly is designed to detachably engage with existing eductor valve assemblies as either an original part or as a replacement part. The assembly comprises a plurality of selector gears that rotatably engage with eductor valve assemblies. The selector gears are in communication with a control gear. When the assembly is attached to a plurality of eductor valve assemblies an individual can control the rotation of multiple valve assemblies by rotating a single control knob.
Aspirator with pressure relief flaps
An aspirator for an inflatable assembly may comprise a housing and an inlet flap biased away from an interior of the housing. A pressure relief flap may be biased toward the interior of the housing. A manifold may be located in the interior of the housing and configured to output a primary gas flow toward an outlet of the housing. A nozzle may be fluidly coupled to the manifold. The nozzle may be configured to output the primary gas flow to the manifold.
Ejector and refrigeration system
An ejector and a refrigeration system. The ejector includes: a high-pressure fluid passage extending from a high-pressure fluid inlet to a mixing chamber; a suction fluid passage extending from a suction fluid inlet to the mixing chamber, a first valve being disposed in the suction fluid passage; the mixing chamber, which includes a mixed fluid outlet; and a thermal bulb arranged in the suction fluid passage downstream of the first valve; wherein an elastic diaphragm is disposed in the suction fluid passage, the suction fluid passage is on a first side of the elastic diaphragm, and a closed cavity is on a second side of the elastic diaphragm; the thermal bulb is in communication with the closed cavity, and the thermal bulb and the closed cavity are filled with fluid.
