  • Patent number: 11795978
    Abstract: An accumulator system includes a chamber configured to receive a first fluid, a piston configured to move within the chamber to pressurize and drive the first fluid out of the chamber, a driving shaft coupled to the piston, a screw adapter coupled to the driving shaft, a plurality of anti-rotation shafts, and an electric actuator configured to couple to the screw adapter and to rotate the screw adapter to axially move the driving shaft. The piston includes a body defining a first aperture and a plurality of counterbores. The driving shaft is coupled to the piston via the first aperture. The piston is configured to slide over the plurality of anti-rotation shafts via the plurality of counterbores.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11624254
    Abstract: An accumulator system that includes a housing. The housing defines a function chamber and a balance chamber. A piston moves axially within the housing. The piston separates the function chamber from the balance chamber. An electric actuator couples to and drives the piston within the housing to compress and drive a first fluid out of the function chamber.

  • Patent number: 11441579
    Abstract: A double acting accumulator system includes a housing including an actuator housing, a first piston housing coupled to the actuator housing, a second piston housing coupled to the actuator housing, a shaft configured to move axially within the first piston housing and the second piston housing, a first piston coupled to a first end of the shaft, a second piston coupled to a second end of the shaft, an electric actuator configured to couple to and drive the shaft to alternatingly compress fluid with the first piston in the first piston housing and the second piston in the second piston housing to drive fluid out of the respective first piston housing and the second piston housing, and a plurality of anti-rotation shafts configured to block rotation of the shaft.

  • Publication number: 20190345790
    Abstract: A supplemental sealing system for a blowout preventer (BOP) includes a fluid source configured to support a sealing fluid and a conduit fluidly coupled to the fluid source. The conduit is configured to deliver the sealing fluid from the fluid source to a bore of the BOP to enable the sealing fluid to supplement a seal formed by one or more primary seal elements of the BOP.
