  • Progressive cavity pump having improved stator dry-running protection
    Patent number: 11280333
    Abstract: A system and method for coupling a temperature monitoring system within a progressive cavity pump to combat dry-running. A temperature monitoring system for use in a progressive cavity pump for monitoring the internal temperature of an elastomeric stator. The temperature monitoring system includes a sleeve and a temperature sensor disposed therein. The sleeve is inserted into a shell portion of the stator before vulcanizing the elastomeric stator so that the sleeve is vulcanized to the elastomeric stator.

  • PROGRESSIVE CAVITY PUMP HAVING IMPROVED STATOR DRY-RUNNING PROTECTION
    Publication number: 20200166031
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to an improved system and method for coupling a temperature monitoring system within a progressive cavity pump to combat dry-running. More specifically, the present disclosure describes a temperature monitoring system for use in a progressive cavity pump for monitoring the internal temperature of an elastomeric stator. The temperature monitoring system may include a sleeve and a temperature sensor disposed therein. The present disclosure achieves the desired results by inserting the sleeve into a shell portion of the stator before vulcanizing the elastomeric stator so that the sleeve may be vulcanized to the elastomeric stator.
