Publication number: 20240102485Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a universal-type pump casing that allows for coupling to various piping couplers, for various sizes of fluid lines. This can allow the pump casing to accept the majority of current fluid line coupling, for various fluid line sizes used with these types of pumps, thereby eliminating the need to have a different casing for each different sized fluid line. A universal-type pump casing with a proximal end engaged with a pump bracket, and a distal end affixed to an end plate to define the pumping chamber. A first and second port can have an opening of a predetermined diameter, with a port face that can couple with various modular port flanges, to provide different port flange configurations.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Viking Pump, Inc.Inventors: Alfonso JOHNSON, Grant JOHNSON, Dylan LENDE, Scott MEYER, Justin PIERCE

Publication number: 20240102471Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a universal-type bracket that incorporates a substantially uniform diameter through-bore. This allows the bracket to accept current sealing arrangements used in these types of pumps, while providing the same or better sealing options as current individual designs. The single through-bore can have multiple undercut features for holding a pump shaft bushing, with an increased wall thickness to allow for an appropriate interference fit with the walls of the through-bore, for example, similar to previous designs. Retaining ring grooves can be added to the through-bore, and retaining rings may be used to provide a positive shoulder for the seal or packing rings to seat against inside the bore. This may allow for various sealing options, such as stuffing seals, one-piece barrier seals, cartridge seals, BTR seals, component seals, and more.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Viking Pump, Inc.Inventors: Justin PIERCE, Andrew ANDERSON, Alfonso JOHNSON, Dylan LENDE, Scott MEYER

Publication number: 20240102481Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for an improved barrier seal for use on a rotating shaft of a pump to mitigate leakage of fluids along the shaft. The body of the barrier seal may comprise a one-piece combined bushing and seal that can be selectably fastened to the pump bracket. Internal and external channels in the body can operably hold gaskets, internally dynamic seals, and externally static seals, inside the stuffing box of the pump bracket. A lubricant port can be disposed on a flange of the seal portion to provide lubricant to the interior of the barrier seal, which can also be fluidly coupled with the outside of the seal. A pressurized lubricating fluid can also help mitigate leakage of pumped fluid by pressurizing between static gaskets on the outside, and provide lubrication for the rotating shaft on the inside of the seal.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Viking Pump, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Anderson, Scott Meyer, Alfonso Johnson

Patent number: 11703063Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for mitigating fluid loss or leakage from a fluid pump with a rotating shaft driving a pumping mechanism. A seal gland component can have two or more internal seals formed by two or more seal components, such as O-rings, that create one or more chambers that act as a lubricant/barrier fluid reservoir to provide for reduced friction and mitigate release of gaseous emissions. Further, the seal gland component can be a retrofit on an existing shaft to provide for greater life and efficiency as compared to the existing packing gland or other sealing components. Further, the one or more internal seals can be arranged within the seal gland in an asymmetrical manner such that the seal gland can be removed from a shaft, rotated, and reinstalled with the internal seals contacting a different position on the surface of the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Viking Pump, Inc.Inventors: Scott Meyer, Andrew Anderson, Brian Atwood, Joe Papp

Patent number: 11493035Abstract: A pump technology that provides for more effective and efficient transfer of liquids, such as petroleum products and components, to and through pipelines. Such a technology can comprise a type of external gear pump that creates higher flow, resulting in higher pressures in the pipeline, to move the liquids, while providing for longer pump life, simpler and less maintenance, and fewer undesired conditions, with a smaller footprint, in a cost-effective system. Further, one or more portions of the pump can be configured to be easily replaceable to provide for maintenance in place, and provide for longer pump life. Additionally, one or more portions of the pump can be constructed with or coated with abrasive resistant material that extends the life of the external gear pump. Such material can also reduce the friction between surfaces and improve the life of the external gear pump under poor feeding conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Viking Pump, Inc.Inventors: Michael R.
