Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100015000APPARATUS FOR SIMULTANEOUS SUPPORT OF PRESSURIZED AND UNPRESSURIZED MECHANICAL SHAFT SEALING BARRIER FLUID SYSTEMS - An improved, piston-based, pressure-transforming barrier fluid support apparatus is disclosed that can support both the pressurized and unpressurized barrier fluid requirements of a shaft-driven machine from a single unit. The disclosed apparatus includes both a pressurized section that stores, cools, cleans, and pressure regulates pressurized barrier fluid, and an unpressurized section that stores, cools, and cleans unpressurized barrier fluid. The disclosed apparatus causes debris in the pressurized barrier fluid to gravitationally migrate away from the piston, so as to prevent piston fouling. If the piston rod becomes detached, it is expelled downward for enhanced safety. Removable covers and/or a removable cylinder can provide enhanced access for cleaning and maintenance. Embodiments include a common cover that is shared by the pressurized and unpressurized sections and serves as a common manifold for cost-efficient fluid connections thereto.01-21-2010

20110278777VIBRATION DAMPING DEVICE FOR VERTICALLY CANTILEVERED PUMP ASSEMBLIES - A Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) for damping oscillations of a hanging vertical pump structure includes a removable mass symmetrically configured within the pump structure diameter and supported by a mechanism which provides damped mobility relative to the pump structure so as to absorb and dampen pump vibrations and oscillations. The TMD mass is easily removable before tipping of the pump between horizontal and vertical orientations during maintenance. In some embodiments, the TMD mass comprises fluid pumped by the pump to fully or partially fill a housing, the fluid being gravitationally drained therefrom when the pump is not operating. In other embodiments the TMD mass is supplied by removable solid weights. Damped mobility is provided by springs damped by mechanical or fluid friction, or by obstructed movement of fluid within a partially filled housing. In embodiments, the TMD mass is at least 5% of the total mass of the pump structure.11-17-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090090798INDUCER COMMINUTOR - A device for reducing solids and increasing pressure in a fluid handling system has comminution and inducer sections in a housing upstream of a pump impeller. A rotor has a hub with a small inlet diameter and a larger outlet diameter and a helical rotor blade with its blade pitch angle progressively increasing from inlet to outlet as a polynomial function. The comminutor section has a larger diameter than the inducer section and comminutor vanes extending inward forming a vane edge effective diameter equal to the inducer section diameter. The rotor blade turning within the closing fitting cage of vane edges provides a crushing and shearing action to solids in the fluid flow. Cutouts on the blade edge provide additional crushing and shearing action against the vanes. The fluid passageway sectional area at the outlet is bigger than the throat of the downstream main impeller.04-09-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120103876Sand Sifter - The present invention is directed to a method and a vehicle designed for cleaning beaches that have been contaminated with substances such as tar balls. The device utilizes an inclined screen assembly on a vehicle and a pivoted hopper supported below the lower end of the inclined screen. As the trailer is on or moved along the beach, contaminated sand is placed on an upper portion of the screen. Sand falls through the screen back down to the beach surface but larger contaminants such as tar balls roll or slide down the screen into a collection hopper. The inclination of the screen assembly may be adjustable.05-03-2012
