Patent number: 11703063Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for mitigating fluid loss or leakage from a fluid pump with a rotating shaft driving a pumping mechanism. A seal gland component can have two or more internal seals formed by two or more seal components, such as O-rings, that create one or more chambers that act as a lubricant/barrier fluid reservoir to provide for reduced friction and mitigate release of gaseous emissions. Further, the seal gland component can be a retrofit on an existing shaft to provide for greater life and efficiency as compared to the existing packing gland or other sealing components. Further, the one or more internal seals can be arranged within the seal gland in an asymmetrical manner such that the seal gland can be removed from a shaft, rotated, and reinstalled with the internal seals contacting a different position on the surface of the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Viking Pump, Inc.Inventors: Scott Meyer, Andrew Anderson, Brian Atwood, Joe Papp

Patent number: 11662027Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for mitigating fluid loss or leakage from a fluid pump with a rotating shaft driving a pumping mechanism. A packing gland component can have an internal seal formed by two dynamic O-rings that allows for use of lubricants at high pressures, as well as an outer seal for greater prevention of fluid loss. Further, the packing gland component can be a retrofit for existing packing gland components to provide for greater life and efficiency as compared to the existing packing gland components. Additionally, in some implementations, a sleeve may be fixedly attached to the rotating shaft between the packing gland and the shaft to provide a wear point for the packing gland.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Viking Pump, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Mihm, John Hall, Andrew Anderson, Michael R.

Patent number: 11493035Abstract: A pump technology that provides for more effective and efficient transfer of liquids, such as petroleum products and components, to and through pipelines. Such a technology can comprise a type of external gear pump that creates higher flow, resulting in higher pressures in the pipeline, to move the liquids, while providing for longer pump life, simpler and less maintenance, and fewer undesired conditions, with a smaller footprint, in a cost-effective system. Further, one or more portions of the pump can be configured to be easily replaceable to provide for maintenance in place, and provide for longer pump life. Additionally, one or more portions of the pump can be constructed with or coated with abrasive resistant material that extends the life of the external gear pump. Such material can also reduce the friction between surfaces and improve the life of the external gear pump under poor feeding conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Viking Pump, Inc.Inventors: Michael R. Crawford, Andrew Anderson, Josh Gerbig, Scott Meyer, Cameron Neff, Justin Pierce
