OIL LUBRICATED FLUID PUMPS WITH OIL SEPARATORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17840414 titled 'OIL LUBRICATED FLUID PUMPS WITH OIL SEPARATORS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes oil lubricated supercritical fluid pumps with oil separators.

  • The invention is a pump system used to pressurize a fluid in a closed loop thermal transport bus.
  • The pump system includes a pump housing and a duct that is connected to the pump housing.
  • The duct is divided into three portions: the first portion contains a mixture of an oil and the supercritical fluid, the second portion contains only the supercritical fluid, and the third portion contains a separator.
  • The separator is positioned between the first and second portions of the duct and is designed to separate the oil from the supercritical fluid.
  • The purpose of the oil separator is to ensure that only the supercritical fluid is present in the second portion of the duct, preventing any oil contamination.
  • This innovation allows for efficient and reliable pressurization of the fluid in the thermal transport bus.


Original Abstract Submitted

Oil lubricated supercritical fluid pumps with oil separators are disclosed herein. An example pump system to pressurize a fluid within a closed loop thermal transport bus disclosed herein includes a pump housing, a duct fluidly coupled to the pump housing, a first portion of the duct to include a mixture of an oil and the supercritical fluid, a second portion of the duct to include the supercritical fluid, and a separator positioned in a third portion of the duct between the first portion of the duct and the second portion of the duct, the separator to separate the oil in the mixture from the supercritical fluid.
