Refrigerant Compressor
In order to improve a refrigerant compressor, including a compressor unit having a compressor housing and at least one compressor element that is arranged in the compressor housing, for compressing refrigerant, and further including a drive unit having a drive housing and an electric motor that is arranged in the drive housing and connector terminals that are arranged on the drive housing, for the electric motor, and further including an electronic functional unit, such that the connection between the refrigerant compressor and the electronic functional unit is achievable as simply as possible, it is proposed that the connector terminals should be provided in a housing that is arranged on the drive housing, and that an electronic functional unit which performs at least one compressor function should be provided in the housing.
HIGH-VISCOSITY FLUID DOSE ISOLATORS
In one example, a fluid delivery system (10) comprises a pump cavity (1) to receive a high-viscosity fluid, such that when full, the pump cavity (1) is to define a dose of high-viscosity fluid. The system (10) further comprises an access (2) to the pump cavity (1), to provide fluid communication with the pump cavity (1), and a plunger (3) to block the access (2) to the pump cavity (1) and isolate the dose of the high-viscosity fluid for ejection of the dose by the plunger (3).
STATUS MONITORING AND FAILURE DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM FOR PLUNGER PUMP
Disclosed is a status monitoring and fault diagnosis system for a plunger pump, including a monitoring and fault diagnosis device. The monitoring and fault diagnosis device monitors and diagnoses a hydraulic end assembly of a plunger pump. The monitoring and fault diagnosis device further monitors and diagnoses a power end assembly and/or a reduction gearbox assembly. Beneficial effects: The diagnosis system monitors and diagnoses not only a hydraulic end assembly, but also a power end assembly and/or a reduction gearbox assembly, that is, an equipment fault can be accurately predetermined in time for an entire plunger pump, so that high-pressure, large-displacement, and continuous operation requirements on fracturing sites at present are better satisfied, and on-demand maintenance is adopted instead of regular examination and maintenance, thereby saving labor, time, and materials to achieve economic efficiency.
ASSET AGNOSTIC ANOMALY DETECTION USING CLUSTERING AND AUTO ENCODER
Various embodiments described herein relate to an anomaly detection framework adaptable to different asset types. In this regard, a data stream associated with a first asset is received. The data stream is then processed to generate output data by encoding the data stream based on historical data associated with the first asset, the historical data comprising clustered data representative of fault states and one or more non-fault states. Furthermore, in accordance with a determination that the generated output data is indicative of a potential fault of the first asset, fault data indicative of the potential fault is generated and caused to be transmitted to an administrative device for display.
CONTROLLING RAMP UP OF A FLUID PUMP
In some implementations, a controller may monitor, during a ramp up period of a fluid pump driven by a motor that is controlled by a variable frequency drive (VFD), an intake pressure of the fluid pump and a discharge pressure of the fluid pump. The controller may detect, based on monitoring the intake pressure and the discharge pressure, whether the intake pressure satisfies an intake pressure threshold or the discharge pressure satisfies a discharge pressure threshold. The controller may cause, via the VFD, reduction of a torque of the motor based on the intake pressure satisfying the intake pressure threshold or the discharge pressure satisfying the discharge pressure threshold.
Fire truck pump flow prediction system
A fire truck pump flow prediction system includes a pump, an inlet pipe connected to the pump, a discharge pipe connected to the pump, an intake pressure sensor connected to the inlet pipe, a discharge pressure sensor connected to the discharge pipe, a rotational sensor associated with the pump and a central processor connected to the intake pressure sensor, the discharge pressure sensor and the rotational sensor. The intake pressure sensor is configured to detect fire suppressant inlet pressure and the discharge pressure sensor is configured to detect fire suppressant discharge pressure. The rotational sensor configured to detect a rotational speed of the pump. The central processor configured to determine a flow through the pump and into the discharge pipe based on the inlet pressure, the discharge pressure and the rotational speed.
System and method for measuring discharge parameters relating to an electric submersible pump
An electric submersible pump (ESP) monitoring system is described herein. The ESP monitoring system includes a base monitoring unit and a discharge monitoring unit that are communicably coupled via a ground path. The discharge monitoring unit is hydraulically coupled to the pump discharge and is configured to measure a discharge parameter relating to the pump discharge and transmit data corresponding to the discharge parameter to the base monitoring unit via the ground path. The base monitoring unit is electrically connected to the motor of the ESP system and is configured to measure a base parameter relating to the motor and/or the pump intake, receive the transmitted data corresponding to the discharge parameter from the discharge monitoring unit, combine the data corresponding to the discharge parameter and the data corresponding to the base parameter, and transmit the combined data to an ESP surface unit via an ESP power cable.
Intuitive Natural Gas Compressor Monitoring System
A real-time monitoring system for skid-mounted reciprocating natural gas compressors. The system not only monitors performance and makes analytical diagnostic predictions of potentially problematic valves and such, but also has alert system for real-time monitoring, troubleshooting and diagnosing of such natural gas compressors—both locally and remotely. Operators can more efficiently and effectively manage maintenance and operation of the skid-mounted compressors with the implementation of LED equipped sensors that allow operators to locally quickly identify valves and other components requiring maintenance. Additionally, operators can remotely identify and understand deviations from optimal performance with the implementation of color-coded soft gauges.
Apparatus and method for detecting occurrence of cavitation
A detection apparatus includes a suction pressure acquirer configured to acquire suction pressure data indicating suction pressure of a pump, and a detector configured to detect occurrence of cavitation in the pump based on a variation coefficient of the suction pressure data during a detection target period.
