Abstract
A high-pressure fluid supply system and apparatus including a battery electric powered high pressure fluid pump that can be located in proximity to a piece of equipment such as a heat exchanger in an industrial plant in need of being cleaned wherein the system is modularized on a plurality of pallets capable of being transported in the industrial plant elevator to a location near the heat exchanger location.
Claims17
A high-pressure fluid supply system comprising:
- a high-pressure pump pallet supporting a high-pressure fluid pump and a battery-powered motor connected to the high-pressure fluid pump;
- and
- at least one modular battery pallet that is independently movable relative to the high-pressure pump pallet, wherein the at least one modular battery pallet supports one or more batteries configured to power the battery-powered motor on the high-pressure pump pallet, and wherein a first modular battery pallet of the at least one modular battery pallet is configured to be electrically coupled at least to the battery-powered motor.
A method for operating a high-pressure fluid supply system, the method comprising:
- delivering a high-pressure pump pallet to a venue that houses equipment to be cleaned by the fluid supply system, wherein the high-pressure pump pallet supports a high-pressure fluid pump and a battery-powered motor connected to the high-pressure fluid pump;
- delivering at least one modular battery pallet to the venue, wherein each of the at least one modular battery pallet is independently movable relative to the high-pressure pump pallet, wherein the at least one modular battery pallet supports one or more batteries configured to power the battery-powered motor on the high-pressure pump pallet, and wherein a first modular battery pallet of the at least one modular battery pallet is configured to be electrically coupled at least to the battery-powered motor;
- positioning the high-pressure pump pallet proximate to the equipment;
- electrically coupling the one or more batteries of the first modular battery pallet to the battery-powered motor;
- and
- supplying a cleaning fluid to the equipment using the high-pressure fluid pump, wherein the high-pressure fluid pump is powered by the battery-powered motor.
