  • Patent number: 11578579
    Abstract: A frac system includes power generation equipment and a power storage device used to provide electric power to one or more pieces of frac equipment. The frac system includes a power controller used to control the source of the power to the frac equipment. The power controller may measure the charge status for the power storage device and the electrical power load being used by the frac equipment. The power controller may engage or disengage the power generation equipment based on the measured charge status and electrical power load, may control the source of the power provided to the frac equipment, and may control whether the power storage device is being charged.

  • Publication number: 20220149700
    Abstract: An efficient, low-noise power generation system may comprise a power generation trailer including a cooling subsystem. The cooling subsystem may include a plurality of cooling fans and a polygonal structure having an open top. The polygonal structure may comprise a plurality of vertical radiator cores arranged so as to form a polygon in which the plurality of radiator cores define side walls. The cooling fans may be mounted within the polygonal structure. The cooling subsystem may include a cooling fan motor for each fan and a cooling fan controller that controls operation of each cooling fan motor in response to at least one measured parameter, which may be the temperature of a fluid flowing through one or more radiator cores. At least one fan is oriented so as to push air out of the top of the polygonal structure. The polygonal structure may have four sides.

  • Publication number: 20160271328
    Abstract: A syringe assembly for dispensing medicine from a cartridge having a diaphragm and a piston opposite the diaphragm. The assembly includes a barrel having a hollow interior, an open proximal end, a closed distal end, and an outlet. The assembly also includes a cartridge receiver slidably receivable in the hollow interior of the barrel. The receiver includes an interior space for receiving the cartridge, an access needle extending into the interior space for puncturing the diaphragm of the cartridge. The access needle directs fluid to the barrel outlet. The cartridge receiver includes a plunger rod movable into the interior space of the cartridge receiver for engaging the piston of the cartridge to selectively force medicine in the cartridge through the access needle.
