Abstract: A fluid transport system includes a housing defining a passageway for fluid to flow through the fluid transport system and a probe extending in the passageway. The probe includes a first end defining a plurality of sensing ports for the fluid to flow into the probe and a second end opposite the first end. The fluid flows through a plurality of conduits and a plurality of tubes. A differential pressure sensor is in fluid communication with the plurality of tubes such that the differential pressure sensor determines a differential pressure of the fluid in the plurality of tubes. A purge system is in fluid communication with the plurality of tubes. The purge system includes a source of purge liquid and is configured to direct the purge liquid through the plurality of tubes.

Abstract: A flow angle probe is provided having (a) a probe flap for contacting a moving fluid within a fluid conduit; (b) a probe body mechanically coupled to the probe flap; (c) a force sensor disposed within the probe body and operationally coupled to the probe flap; and optionally (d) a probe shaft coupled to the probe body. A deflection of the probe flap caused by contact with the moving fluid produces a corresponding force sensor signal output which is minimized by rotation of the probe flap. The angle between this point of minimum deflection and a reference position is taken to be the flow angle of the moving fluid in the vicinity of the probe flap. The novel flow angle probes disclosed herein may be used in a wide variety of turbomachines and fluid processing systems, and applications, including turbomachine design and operational control, and in flow assurance.

Abstract: An energy-dissipating device and fluid processing system is provided containing a compressor, a motor, a secondary fluid re-circulation loop, a purge line, and a fluid conduit. The compressor is configured to receive a hot fluid including condensable and non-condensable components, and produce therefrom a primary compressed fluid stream and a secondary fluid stream. The motor is configured to drive the compressor and for ingress and egress of the secondary fluid stream. The secondary fluid re-circulation loop is configured to control an operating temperature of the motor. The secondary fluid re-circulation loop includes a first energy-dissipating device configured to remove excess heat from the secondary fluid stream. The purge line separates a first portion of the secondary fluid stream in the fluid re-circulation loop from a second portion of the secondary fluid stream being returned to the motor. The fluid conduit receives the primary compressed fluid stream from the compressor.
