DRAIN RESERVOIR [7 records]

Record 1 2011-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
  • Helicopters (Military)
CONT

Capture Wear-generated Debris in Transmission and Gearboxes! Early Warning of Failure in Gears and Bearings. Magnetic chip collection is the most economical and direct form of lube system failure detection in use today. Usually located in a gearbox or reservoir drain plug location, the magnetic chip collector captures and retains particles for later removal and off-line analysis.

CONT

Provision is made for the fitting of magnetic chip detectors at the scavenge pump inlets to sample return oil from individual engine main bearings.

OBS

This device is differentiated from the ubiquitous magnetic drain plug through the use of a unique self-closing valve, which permits the chip collector to be withdrawn without loss of lube or hydraulic oil. It is no longer necessary to wait until an oil change to assess the condition of critical gears and bearings. The chip collector can also be line-mounted, closer to the potential failure point, for fault isolation or even greater assurance of detecting a failure.

OBS

chip detector: term officially approved by the Aeronautical Terminology Standardization Committee (ATSC) - Helicopters.

Record 2 2008-02-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
CONT

The hot hydraulic fluid discharged from [the] case drain module is cooled in a heat exchanger by fuel drawn from the fuel system of [the] airplane and circulated through a heat exchanger coil in [the] module. The heat exchanger is connected to [the] case drain module by a line, and the cooled hydraulic fluid is returned to [the] reservoir via [a] return filter module through a heat exchanger discharge line.

Record 4 2003-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petroleum Deposits
OBS

Oilfields, after a certain production period, are then called mature fields. Mature fields are those where the recovered oil fraction is close to the final recovery factor. Its mature phase is generally accompanied by an increasing production of water or gas, plus the aging of surface and subsurface equipment. To revitalize mature fields, a series of technologies is developed to increase the final recovery factor through treatments on a field (the so-called tertiary petroleum recovery) or well (stimulation, recompletion, treatments and logging) scale, in addition to optimizing the techniques relating to oil lift, its surface flow and treatment.

OBS

Many mature gas fields also have a fairly significant production decline, especially when development drilling has come to an end. These mature fields can be revitalized in many ways. In some instances, efforts are focused on the reservoir with further drilling to drain potentially unswept hydrocarbons with infill wells or horizontal laterals. The horizontal drilling might be from new wellbores or wells that are currently temporarily abandoned or near their economic limit. With the increase in horizontal-well activity, there is an abundance of new technology with advances in gravel-pack design, underbalanced drilling with coiled tubing, and coiled-tubing fracturing. Besides these production improvements, operators are revamping both downhole and surface facilities to help breathe new life into older fields. Advances are taking place in the areas of artificial lift, intelligent-well completions, expandable tubulars, and others.
