  • Publication number: 20240175433
    Abstract: A fluid end for use with a power end. The fluid end comprises a plurality of fluid end sections positioned adjacent one another. Each section includes a single horizontally positioned bore. A plunger is installed within the bore and includes a fluid passageway. Low-pressure fluid enters the bore through the plunger and high-pressure fluid exits the fluid end through an outlet valve installed within the bore. The intake of low-pressure fluid within the fluid end section is regulated by an inlet valve installed within the plunger. Low pressure fluid enters the plunger through an inlet component attached to both the plunger and an inlet manifold.

  • Publication number: 20240158155
    Abstract: A thermally insulative liner for a box is described. The liner includes a base and a plurality of sidewalls. Each sidewall extends from the base thereby to define an opening opposite the base. Each of the plurality of sidewalls includes an inner surface, an outer surface, and a plurality of channels formed between the inner surface and the outer surface and extending parallel with the inner surface and the outer surface. A first sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls contacts two other sidewalls of the plurality of sidewalls. One or more of the plurality of channels in the first sidewall is closed at opposing ends by the respective inner surfaces of the two other sidewalls.
