Systems and methods for gas pulse jet pump
A gas pulse jet pump for use with a fluid transfer system is provided. The gas pulse jet pump includes a main body including at least one suction chamber configured to receive production fluid. The gas pulse jet pump further includes an inlet configured to receive the production fluid into the gas pulse jet pump, at least one valve configured to regulate flow of the production fluid through the gas pulse jet pump, at least one gas injection port configured to intermittently inject high pressure gas into the at least one suction chamber, and an outlet configured to receive the production fluid from the at least one suction chamber and discharge the production fluid from the gas pulse jet pump.
Fuel system having a jet pump
A fuel system includes a fuel pump and a jet pump assembly. The jet pump assembly includes a first fuel passage defined by a first tube. The jet pump assembly also includes a second fuel passage which receives pressurized fuel from the fuel pump, the second fuel passage having a primary orifice centered about and extending along a primary orifice axis such that the primary orifice axis is directed into the first fuel passage and such that the primary orifice introduces a first flow of fuel into the first fuel passage. The second fuel passage also has a secondary orifice centered about and extending along a secondary orifice axis which is not coincident with the primary orifice axis and which is directed at an inner surface of the first tube and the secondary orifice introduces a second flow of fuel into the first fuel passage which impinges the inner surface.
Evacuator with motive fin
An evacuator is disclosed, and includes a body defining a central axis, a converging motive section, a diverging discharge section, at least one suction port, and at least one Venturi gap. The Venturi gap is located between an outlet end of the converging motive section and an inlet end of the diverging discharge section. The evacuator also includes a fin positioned within the motive section of the body. The fin extends in the direction of the central axis.
