Abstract: An electrical submersible pump assembly has a pressure equalizer coupled to a lower end of a motor. The equalizer has a motor lubricant passage through which lubricant in the motor communicates with motor lubricant in the equalizing element. A valve element in the motor lubricant passage has a closed upper position and an open lower position. The valve element has a drive member on an upper end that mates with a shaft drive member on a lower end of the motor shaft while the valve element is in the upper position and disengages from the shaft drive member while the valve element is in the lower position. A locking feature between the valve element and the motor lubricant passage retains the valve element in the upper position and is releasable in response to rotation of the motor shaft in a selected direction.

Abstract: An electrical submersible pump assembly has a seal section coupled to a motor that drives the pump. The seal section has first and second end members spaced axially apart from each other. An outer bellows has a fixed end mourned to the first end member and a floating end that moves axially relative to the fixed end. A rigid, tubular interconnect member has an inner end within the outer bellows and an cuter end fixed to the floating end of the outer bellows. An inner bellows has a floating end secured to the inner end of the interconnect member and a fixed end secured to the second end member. An interconnect evacuation passage extends axially through a side wall of the interconnect member. A first end member evacuation passage extends through the first end member and registers with the interconnect evacuation passage while the outer bellows is contracted.
