Abstract:
A high pressure pump for use in the injection of liquid chemicals into subsea oil or gas wells, and intended to be positioned in the subsea environment adjacent to the wellhead, comprises a piezoelectric actuator (19) for reciprocating a plunger (22) which acts to compress and expand the effective volume of a pumping chamber (29) having a valved inlet (15) connected to a source of the liquid and a valved outlet (16) to lead the liquid to the well. The device has a minimum of moving parts and in particular avoids the need for any rotating parts and attendant high performance bearings and seals.
Abstract:
Oilfield equipment is provided that includes a base material less subject to abrasion, corrosion, erosion and/or wet fatigue than conventional oilfield equipment materials such as carbon steel, and a reinforcing composite material for adding stress resistance and reduced weight to the oilfield equipment.
Abstract:
A compressor having a compression element with a cylinder in which a compression space is constituted, a suction port and a discharge port which communicate with the compression space in the cylinder, a support member which closes an opening on the cylinder and a rotary shaft which is rotatably supported by a main bearing as a bearing formed on the support member. A compression member, whose one surface crosses an axial direction of the rotary shaft is inclined continuously between a top dead center and a bottom dead center and is disposed in the cylinder to be rotated by the rotary shaft, compresses a fluid sucked from the suction port to discharge the fluid via the discharge port. A vane which is disposed between the suction port and the discharge port to abut on one surface of the compression member partitions the compression space in the cylinder into a low pressure chamber and high pressure chamber. A shaft seal which is disposed on an end portion of the main bearing, on a side opposite to the compression member, abuts on the rotary shaft.
Abstract:
A method of producing a piston that involves providing a piston body formed of a first material, the piston body having a cylindrical portion having a diameter, a rounded end, and a neck connecting the rounded end to the cylindrical portion and having a diameter less than the diameter of the piston body, cladding a portion of the cylindrical portion with a first tool steel layer, cladding a portion of the rounded end with a second tool steel layer spaced from the first tool steel layer, heat treating the piston body and nitriding the first and second tool steel layers. Also a piston (10) having first (18) and second (22) nitrided, tool steel clad portions.

A fluid end for a reciprocating pump is provided that includes a base material less subject to abrasion, corrosion, erosion and/or wet fatigue than conventional fluid end materials such as carbon steel, and a reinforcing composite material for adding stress resistance and reduced weight to the fluid end.
Abstract:
An object is to provide a highly efficient compressor while improving a refrigerant leakage, enhancing a performance of a compressor, improving durability, and enhancing reliability. The compressor comprises: a compression element comprising a cylinder in which a compression space is constituted; a suction port and a discharge port which communicate with the compression space in the cylinder; a support member which closes an opening of the cylinder; a rotary shaft which is rotatably supported by a main bearing as a bearing formed on the support member; a compression member whose one surface crossing an axial direction of the rotary shaft is inclined continuously between a top dead center and a bottom dead center and which is disposed in the cylinder to be rotated by the rotary shaft and which compresses a fluid sucked from the suction port to discharge the fluid via the discharge port; a vane which is disposed between the suction port and the discharge port to abut on one surface of the compression member and which partitions the compression space in the cylinder into a low pressure chamber and a high pressure chamber; and a shaft seal which is disposed on an end portion of the bearing (main bearing) on a side opposite to the compression member and which abuts on the rotary shaft.
Abstract:
There is provided a cylinder injection type internal combustion engine capable of performing stratified charge operation at the time of a vehicle speed of 120 km/h and/or an engine rotational speed of 3200 rpm to enhance the fuel efficiency and/or to observe the emission regulations. In the internal combustion engine, a stratum of air and/or air flow is formed between a fuel spray injected from an injection valve and the top face of a piston and/or the wall surface of a combustion chamber, and a face shape contrived to guide the air flow is formed on the top face of the piston. Also, the stratified charge operation can be performed even at the time of cold start or cranking.
Abstract:
The present invention aims to provide a motor-mounted internal gear pump that is small-sized, less expensive and has high reliability, while utilizing a function of an internal gear pump that is suitable for high head. A motor-mounted internal gear pump has a pump section for sucking and discharging a liquid and a motor section for driving the same. The pump section has an internal rotor having teeth formed around its outer periphery, an external rotor having teeth formed around its inner periphery and a pump casing that accommodates both rotors and has a suction port for sucking a liquid and a discharge port for discharging a liquid. The motor section has a can that composes a part of the pump casing and formed of anon-magnetic material into a thin plate, a rotator arranged at the inside of the can for driving the external rotor or the internal rotor; and a stator arranged at the outside of the can for rotating the rotator.
