  • Subsea multiphase pumping systems
    Patent number: 7569097
    Abstract: In subsea multiphase pumping systems, the use of a gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC) as a separator to recirculate liquid from pump discharge to pump suction, especially during high gas inlet conditions from a multiphase petroleum stream. Further contemplated is protection of the pump from momentary high gas inlet conditions due to an incoming slug flow profile from a petroleum stream, via transforming a naturally varying multiphase petroleum stream into separated phases for measured distribution to the pump suction and ensuring a minimum liquid flow.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 26, 2006
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2009
    Assignee: Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corporation

  • Nuclear reactor submerged high temperature spool pump
    Patent number: 6813328
    Abstract: A fluid pump utilizing a canned rotor and canned stator is provided. The fluid pump has increased insulative properties over past “spool-type” pumps and has an increased ability to cool the stator, making it suitable for high temperature applications. A nuclear reactor is also provided. The reactor comprises a reactor vessel, that contains a nuclear fuel, control rods, reactor coolant and a reactor coolant pump for providing the reactor coolant to a steam generator. In a preferred embodiment, a steam generator is also provided inside the reactor vessel.
