  • Publication number: 20190368324
    Abstract: A borehole pump including an eccentric screw pump with at least one stator and at least one rotor. The eccentric screw pump has, in its upper end region, in each case an upper sealing arrangement and, in its lower end region, in each case a lower sealing arrangement. The borehole pump includes a receiving housing having a lower sealing region and at least two upper sealing regions, wherein the eccentric screw pump is arranged in the receiving housing such that the lower sealing arrangement of the eccentric screw pump is assigned in a form- and/or force-fitting manner to the lower sealing region of the receiving housing and such that the upper sealing arrangement of the eccentric screw pump is assigned in a form- and/or force-fitting manner to one of the at least two upper sealing regions of the receiving housing. An installation procedure for installation at a lower end of a riser pipe and a replacement procedure for replacing a borehole pump arranged at a lower end of a rise pipe are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10208576
    Abstract: A pump system and a method for pumping viscous or partially viscous media out of a borehole. The pump system includes a well pipe which is installed in the borehole and a motor which is coupled to an eccentric screw pump, the eccentric screw pump including one or more stators and one or more rotors which are received in the stator(s) so as to rotate eccentrically. One or more connection mechanisms fix the eccentric screw pump in the well pipe in a force-fitting and/or formfitting manner. For the purpose of removing the eccentric screw pump from the borehole, the eccentric screw pump is held by means of the one or more connection mechanisms with an axial freedom of movement.

  • Patent number: 9869314
    Abstract: A screw spindle pump for the delivery of fluid media with a pump housing having an inlet channel with a first longitudinal axis, an outlet channel with a second longitudinal axis, a first drive spindle with a third longitudinal axis, and a second driven spindle. The spindles each include a profiled section between the inlet channel and the outlet channel, wherein the profiled sections of the spindles are engaged at least partially with one another and form, with the pump housing between the inlet channel and the outlet channel, a delivery section parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drive spindle with delivery chambers for the fluid medium. The second longitudinal axis of the outlet channel is disposed at an obtuse angle to the delivery section in the pump housing. The invention also relates to a method for operating a screw spindle pump.

  • Patent number: 9759214
    Abstract: A screw spindle pump constituted by at least two parts is disclosed. The first part includes a housing and at least one spindle system disposed in the housing and capable of being driven in a rotational manner. Furthermore, a pressure region disposed downstream of the spindle system and at least one outlet opening which is connected to the pressure region, the outlet opening discharging the delivery medium out of the pressure region. The second part includes at least one low-pressure chamber disposed upstream of the spindle system and at least one inlet opening for the delivery medium into the low-pressure chamber. The first part and the second part are coupled together, preferably in a rotational manner, so that they can assume at least two different relative positions.

  • Publication number: 20160138346
    Abstract: A system for pumping liquid media from a bore. The system includes a riser pipe, which extends at least approximately in a longitudinal direction of the bore, and a pump unit, which is accommodated in the riser pipe and which has a stator and a rotor. The system also includes a drive train connected to the rotor for eccentrically moving the rotor. The system also includes an adapter unit, which is connected to the stator and which holds the stator substantially stationary in the riser pipe by clamping contact with the riser pipe. The invention further relates to a method for installing a pump unit designed as a progressive cavity pump in a bore.

  • Publication number: 20150118085
    Abstract: An eccentric screw pump for delivering fluid and/or granular media. The pump body of the eccentric screw pump includes an inlet region, a pump unit and an outlet region. A drive unit is assigned to the inlet region. The pump unit includes a rotor and a stator, wherein the rotor moves eccentrically in the stator. The inlet region constitutes the suction side and the outlet region constitutes the pressure side of the eccentric screw pump. A bypass connection with at least one safety valve is assigned to the eccentric screw pump in order to take up and return back-flowing medium between the pressure side and the suction side of the eccentric screw pump. The bypass connection and the safety valve may also be integrated into the pump body of the eccentric screw pump.
