Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method articulating and rotary spray system for fluids that includes a first drive for rotating a mast for different headings and a second drive for rotating a nozzle for different pitches at any time with or without rotation of the mast. The method and system uses a system of interacting gears that rotate a control rod in variable synchronization to control the nozzle pitch relative to the mast heading while the control rod orbits about a center of rotation of the rotating mast along a longitudinal axis.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cooling system and method for a reciprocating mandrel in a blowout preventer test system that provides coolant to the mandrel through a majority of its stroke. The system includes an inner coolant tube and an outer coolant tube, with both tubes inserted into a mandrel inner bore. The inner coolant tube is fixed in position on a base and not attached to the mandrel. The outer coolant tube is fixed in position and attached to the mandrel. The outer coolant tube slidably and optionally sealingly engages the inner coolant tube throughout the mandrel stroke. Coolant can flow through the base, upward through an inner volume of the inner coolant tube, and into an inner volume of the outer coolant tube and out of coolant openings in the outer coolant tube to flow on the inner bore surfaces of the mandrel to cool the mandrel.
