Abstract:
A position sensor assembly comprising (15) a housing (16) having a least one inner cavity, a stator (22) disposed within the housing, a moving element (23) disposed within the housing and configured and arranged to move relative to the stator (22), the stator comprising primary windings (24) and secondary windings (25, 26), the secondary windings configured and arranged to provide an output signal (27) as a function of movement of the moving element (23) relative to the stator (22), electronics (28) disposed in the housing and communicating with the primary windings (24) and the secondary windings (25, 26), the electronics comprising an integrated circuit (29) configured and arranged to provide excitation of the primary windings (24) and to demodulate the output signal (27) of the secondary windings (25, 26), and an input element (35) extending through the housing (16) and connected to the moving element (23).
Abstract:
A deep well linear motor pump system (122) comprising a downhole linear electric motor (222) having a stator and a shaft configured to move linearly relative to the stator, a downhole pump (220) having an inlet (227), an outlet (228), and a piston coupled to the linear motor shaft, a motor driver system (318) connected with the linear motor and configured to provide drive commands to the linear motor, a surface control computer (126) connected with the motor drive system and configured to control the linear motor, a sensor system (224) communicating with the control computer and configured to sense operating parameters of the linear motor, and the sensor system comprising a synchronous serial interface encoder configured to sense position of the motor shaft and a temperature sensor configured to sense the temperature of the motor.
