Abstract
Systems and methods are described for a hybrid centrifugal compressor pump with an integrally geared drive system such that multiple pump and compressor stages can share the same drive system. This helps lower the number of parts in an overall fluid treatment system. As a result, embodiments of a hybrid compressor pump can achieve longer life resulting in efficiency gains and cost savings.
Claims20
A hybrid compressor-pump, comprising:
- a gearbox;
- a central gear within the gearbox and configured to be driven by a driving system;
- one or more pumps configured to attach to the gearbox and be driven by the central gear;
- and
- one or more compressors configured to attach to the gearbox and be driven by the central gear;
- wherein each of the one or more pumps and one or more compressors each comprise one or more connection points such that the one or more pumps and one or more compressors can be arranged in a variety of orders of operations for treating a process fluid.
3 more elements
A gearbox for a hybrid compressor-pump, comprising:
- a central gear configured to be driven by a driving system;
- one or more shafts configured to be driven by the central gear, each of the one or more shafts configured to drive a first of the one or more stages at one end and a second of the one or more stages at a second end;
- wherein the one or more connections lines allow the one or more stages to be configured in a variety of orders of operation to treat the process fluid.
A method of manufacturing a hybrid compressor-pump for a fluid treatment system, comprising:
- providing a central gear configured to be driven by a driving system;
- coupling one or more shafts to an outer edge of the central gear, the one or more shafts configured to be driven by the central gear and to drive one of one or more stages of the fluid treatment system at a first end and to drive another of the one or more stages at a second end;
- wherein the one or more stages can be coupled in a variety of orders of operation for treating a process fluid.
