Patent number: 11480188Abstract: An integrated pressurized pump shaft seal assembly for a submersible rotary fluid pump comprises an oil reservoir having a pressure equal or less than the ambient pressure external fluids surrounding the casing, the oil reservoir feeding an oil pump impeller that is mountable onto, so as to be rotated by, the rotary fluid pump shaft. The impeller is a radial hole impeller in fluid communication with an adjacent diffusion element comprising an internal diffusion bore in fluid communication with an axially vertical spiral volute diffusion chamber located between inner and outer walls of a mechanical seal housing. The centrifugal oil pump impeller pumps oil from the oil reservoir to the seal chamber through the diffusion element and the internal volute diffusion element so as to increase a pressure within the seal chamber to a positive pressure above the ambient pressure of the external fluids surrounding the pump housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2021Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Dajustco IP Holdings Inc.Inventors: Peter Francis Van-De-Velde, Nicholas James Guenther

Patent number: 11391131Abstract: A downhole pump drive includes a housing, a submersible electric motor and protector, the drive shaft of which is coupled to the screw of a ball screw actuator movably coupled to the housing and is coupled to a rod sealed inside the housing. Interior cavities of the housing communicate with an annular space of the borehole through an elastic shell. The drive shaft of the electric motor is connected to the ball screw actuator via a reverse reduction gear. The reverse reduction gear is switched only when the nut of the ball screw actuator (or of an additional ball screw actuator) arrives at its terminal positions, improving the drive's operational reliability. The electric motor operates in a continuous mode, increasing reliability and energy efficiency of the drive owing to the absence of repeated starting and stopping of the electric motor; consequently, a spike in current intensity upon start-up is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2018Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: OKLAS TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANYInventor: Vyacheslav Vladimirovich Leonov
