Patent number: 11454222Abstract: A pump system and method of operating the same may utilize two relatively smaller turbines that are attached to and used to power a single pump. The two turbines are releasably coupled to the pump via respective one-way clutches, thereby enabling the use of one or both turbines at a time to power the pump. At low loads (e.g., low pump outputs), only one turbine operates to power the pump, and at higher loads (e.g., high pump outputs), both turbines operate to power the pump. By using two smaller turbines instead of one large turbine, the range-ability of the turbine power at the most efficient operating ranges is increased. This improves the fuel efficiency of the pump system. In addition, the dual turbine driven pump system provides increased reliability by preventing the loss of all power to the pump in the event of a turbine malfunction.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2016Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventor: Stanley V.

Patent number: 11073048Abstract: The invention relates to an exhaust gas turbine, comprising a turbine wheel (7) with a multiplicity of moving blades (8) and an exhaust-gas outlet duct (15), which is arranged downstream of the moving blades of the turbine wheel. The exhaust-gas outlet duct (15) is delimited radially on the outside by an axial turbine diffuser (1) and radially on the inside, at least partially, by a spinner (2). The axial turbine diffuser (1) is formed by a number N>1 of successive conical diffuser segments. An axial diffuser opening angle A between successive diffuser segments is A>1.0°. A ratio L/H between an axial diffuser segment length L and an entry height H of the exhaust-gas outlet duct (15) is L/H>0.01. A ratio H/S between the entry height H of the exhaust-gas outlet duct and a maximum radius S of the spinner (2) is H/S>1.0. The spinner (2) is formed by a number P>1 of successive conical spinner segments. An axial spinner opening angle B between successive spinner segments is B>1.0°.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2018Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: Stephan Senn, Christoph Mathey

Patent number: 5641276Abstract: An electric pump includes an impeller, a shaft and a motor having at least one permanent magnet rotor and a stator. The impeller is coupled by the shaft to the at least one permanent magnet rotor of the electric motor. A hermetically sealed housing is provided in which the shaft is supported and which has openings for delivery side and suction side connections for material to be pumped. The rotor is disposed inside the housing and the stator of the electric motor is disposed outside the housing. At least one stator carrier is attached to the housing, the stator being mounted in the at least one stator carrier. The at least one stator carrier is of one-piece configuration so as to enclose the housing across an entire circumference thereof in a cup-shaped manner. The at least one stator carrier holds a liquid for cooling the at least one stator.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1994Date of Patent: June 24, 1997Assignee: Magnet-Motor Gesellschaft fur magnetmotorische Technik mbHInventors: Gotz Heidelberg, Peter Ehrhart

Patent number: 4437814Abstract: In a dredge pump having a pump housing and an impeller in the housing, an impeller shaft projects through and beyond the housing in both directions. Two drive motors, one coupled rigidly to one end of the shaft and the other, to the other end, to drive the shaft, hence the impeller, are mounted on supports. The supports are mounted on pads made up of a pair of plates with an elastomeric block sandwiched between and bonded to them, by being connected to one of the plates of each pad. The other of the pad plates is mounted or secured to a fixed structure located with respect to the pads and impeller so that axial forces from the impeller shaft tending to put one set of pads in tension are countered by axial forces tending to put the other set of pads in compression. The pads permit substantial torsional movement, and provide compensation for slight misalignment of the drive motors, permitting the rigid coupling of the drive motors to the two ends of the impeller shaft.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1981Date of Patent: March 20, 1984Assignee: Delta Dredge and Pump CorporationInventor: John F.
