CAVITY ROTOR [4 records]

Record 1 2004-08-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment (Oil and Natural Gas Extraction)
DEF

A form of sucker rod pumping unit in which the rotor is a chrome-plated steel external helix and the stator is a synthetic elastomer with a double internal helix permanently bonded into a steel housing. Rotation of the rods by a vertical spindle electric motor at the surface causes the rods to stretch a predetermined amount to maintain the rod string in tension. It also causes a cavity containing well fluid to progress upward. The system is a rotary positive-displacement unit.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage (Extraction du pétrole et du gaz)
CONT

Pompes à rotor hélicoïdal excentré. Elles sont composées de deux engrenages hélicoïdaux : l'un, le rotor, en métal, tournant à l'intérieur de l'autre, le stator, en caoutchouc. Le rotor est un engrenage externe à une dent. Le stator est un engrenage interne à deux dents. La différence d'une dent entre rotor et stator crée, par le mouvement tournant excentré du rotor, des alvéoles closes qui se meuvent parallèlement à l'axe du stator, dans un plan hélicoïdal, véhiculant ainsi le produit pompé.

Record 4 1977-10-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Centrifugal Pumps
CONT

The Peabody Barnes progressing cavity pump is the only cavity pump in which the rotor displacement unit is the same direction as the helical flow of the material being pumped. Operation is smooth and quiet, with low-speed, high-head efficiency. Self-priming, high-lift characteristics make it and excellent choice for lifting heavy material(...)
