Abstract:
A control method is used with a control system to control a screw pump. The control system includes an electric motor and a motor drive. The control method includes following steps. Firstly, a DC bus voltage is monitored. If the DC bus voltage is smaller than a first threshold value, a potential energy stored in the pump screw and released by a backspin action is converted into a regenerative electrical energy so as to maintain a normal operation of the motor drive. Then, the motor drive drives the electric motor to control the backspin action of the screw pump according to a backspin torque limit strategy. If the electrical power from the power source is not restored and the level of a reverse regenerative torque is smaller than a preset torque value, the backspin action of the screw pump is stopped freely.
Abstract:
This invention provides both a pump and a lubrication and cooling system with a pump which includes a pump housing, a rotor, a relief valve and a bypass valve. The relief valve is configured to relieve pump pressure when the pump pressure is indicative of an abnormal restriction of flow. The bypass valve is configured to direct fluid flow from an outlet chamber of the pump to an intake chamber of the pump when pressure in the outlet chamber is at a value associated with a predetermined speed of rotor rotation.

Abstract:
A wiper assembly may be used to prevent wellbore debris from entering an operating region of a pump. The wiper assembly may include a housing, a wiper member, a backing member, and a biasing member. The biasing member may bias the backing member into engagement with the wiper member, and thereby bias the wiper member into engagement with a tapered surface of the housing. The wiper member may include a corresponding tapered surface, which thereby forces the wiper member radially inward into engagement with an operating member of the pump.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for tuning a twin screw positive displacement pump having a signal processor with a signal processor to receive signaling containing information about actual pump performance data for actual rated conditions captured during a tuning function related to the operation of a twin screw positive displacement pump; and determine corrected pump performance data to operate the rotary positive displacement pump by compensating pump performance data being used for operating the twin screw positive displacement pump based at least partly on the actual pump performance data for the actual rated conditions captured during the tuning function. The corrected pump performance data includes corrected published pump performance data having a corrected published rated power and slip factor, and the actual pump performance data contains information about actual power, specific gravity and viscosity related to the operation of the twin screw positive displacement pump and received from a pump controller or controlling device, including a variable frequency drive.
Abstract:
An eccentric screw pump comprising an outer part (2) and an inner part (3) therein, one of the parts (2, 3) being driven rotatably and the other part (2, 3) being able to move eccentrically relative to the other part (3, 2). The screwthreads (5a, 5b) of the outer part (2) extend angularly over less than an entire helix along the axial length (L) of the part, so that during operation pumping chambers that are open to both ends are created, through which sudden pressure relief takes place.

An oil pump apparatus includes a body, a first rotor and a second rotor disposed in the body so as to be able to rotate and a regulator valve mechanism for regulating the pressure of oil discharged to portions of an engine, wherein the regulator valve mechanism is disposed in the inside of the body and the engine and includes a regulator valve member which moves in the direction being in parallel with a rotation as of the first and second rotors in response to the discharged oil pressure.
Abstract:
A fluid level controlled pumping system includes a pumping unit disposed within a fluid cavity. The pumping unit includes an inlet operable to receive a fluid to be pumped from the fluid cavity. The system also includes a valve slidably coupled to the pumping unit. The valve includes a passage for receiving pumped fluid from an outlet of the pumping unit. In response to a decreasing fluid level within the fluid cavity, movement of the valve relative to the pumping unit aligns the passage with a port of the pumping unit to recirculate the pumped fluid from the outlet to the inlet.
Abstract:
A pump head for a fluid pump driven by a motor includes an inlet for receiving fluid at a first pressure and an outlet for outputting fluid at a second pressure greater than the first pressure. A relief valve cavity formed in the pump head housing includes a first portion in fluid communication with the inlet and a second portion in fluid communication with the outlet. A relief valve is disposed in the relief valve cavity with no portion of the relief positioned to block or otherwise impede the normal flow of fluid through the inlet or outlet. The relief valve is bi-directional and configured to operate in two modes including: (1) a low pressure relief mode where fluid flows from the inlet to the outlet when fluid pressure at the inlet exceeds fluid pressure at the outlet by a first threshold amount; and (2) a high pressure relief mode where fluid flows from the outlet to the inlet when fluid pressure at the outlet exceeds fluid pressure at the inlet by a second threshold amount greater than the first threshold amount. The relief valve cavity is specially configured to provide a barrier preventing an element of the relief valve from damaging the pump head in the event the relief valve element fails.
