  • Feed device for a two-phase fluid pump and a hydrocarbon producing installation with such feed device
    Patent number: 4641679
    Abstract: A feed device for a two-phase fluid pump enabling the pump to be supplied with a two-phase fluid having characteristics, especially the volumetric ratio of the gaseous phase to the liquid phase, compatible with the operating characteristics of the pump. The device has a main pipe (10a) and a plurality of auxiliary pipes (10b, . . . 10i) parallel to the main pipe. Each of the pipes can be connected to an upstream supply line of two-phase fluid, and to the downstream pump (6), each of the pipes having an isolation and flow regulating gate (11a, . . . 11i) at its upstream inlet and an isolation and flow regulating gate (12a, . . . 12i) at its downstream outlet, each of the pipes also having means (16a, . . . 16i; 17a; 17i) for introducing a carrier liquid, such as water.
