  • Publication number: 20180202432
    Abstract: A subsea or downhole pump includes an inlet and an outlet. A flow of a multiphase fluid entering the inlet can have a variation in a gas volume fraction (GVF). The subsea or downhole pump includes or is operatively coupled to control devices which provide for a control as the GVF varies. The control devices include a first transmitter for an electric pump current, a second transmitter for at least one of a pump speed, a pump frequency, and a pump voltage, and a controller. The controller reduces a speed of the subsea or downhole pump when a measured pump current decreases, and increases the speed of the subsea or downhole pump when the measured pump current increases.

  • Patent number: 6382763
    Abstract: The tendency of gas-propelled ink jet printing systems to clog, and to consume increased amounts of vehicle, is relieved in systems wherein the ink contains one or more components which increase in particle size upon contact with water, by employing gas and vehicle which either contain no water or together contain less water than would be sufficient to cause said increase in particle size.
