ELECTRIC SUBMERSIBLE PUMP SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18668969 titled 'ELECTRIC SUBMERSIBLE PUMP SYSTEMS

The protector for an electric submersible pump described in the patent application consists of multiple chambers connected by a series or parallel body, allowing for the inclusion of a shaft seal and other components.

  • The body creates two separate hydraulic circuits, enabling the integration of a shaft seal even when coupling consecutive chambers in a parallel configuration or connecting to a thrust bearing chamber.
  • The shaft tube circuit may feature a compensator and/or relief valve for enhanced functionality and protection.
  • This design ensures efficient operation and maintenance of the electric submersible pump, improving its longevity and performance.
  • The innovative configuration of the protector enhances the reliability and durability of the pump, reducing the risk of damage and downtime.
  • By incorporating multiple chambers and hydraulic circuits, the protector offers a comprehensive solution for safeguarding the pump's critical components.

Original Abstract Submitted

A protector for an electric submersible pump includes a plurality of chambers, with adjacent or consecutive pairs of chambers coupled, e.g., fluidly coupled, via a series or parallel body. The body defines two separate hydraulic circuits, which allows for the inclusion of a shaft seal, even when the body couples consecutive chambers in a parallel configuration or couples to a thrust bearing chamber. The shaft tube circuit can include a compensator and/or a relief valve.
