    摘要: An example system includes a fluid end having a block, a fluid inlet formed in the block, and a fluid outlet formed in the block. The system also includes an intake manifold fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet, and a fluid conduit fluidly coupled to the fluid outlet and the intake manifold. The system further includes a valve fluidly coupled to the fluid conduit, the valve configured to control fluid flow through the fluid conduit, an actuator coupled to the valve and configured to position the valve in an open position or a closed position, and a controller communicatively coupled to the actuator and configured to send one or more signals to the actuator, causing the actuator to position the valve in the open position or the closed position.

    摘要: A suction cover for a reciprocating pump assembly includes a plug configured to be at least partially received within an access port of a fluid cylinder of the reciprocating pump assembly. The plug includes at least one key configured to be received through a keyhole of the access port such that the at least one key extends within a keyway of the access port when the plug is at least partially received within the access port. The plug is configured to be rotated within the access port between an unlocked position wherein the at least one key is aligned with the keyhole and a locked position that prevents the plug from backing out of the access port.

    摘要: A device including a reservoir configured to receive a lubricant from a machine lubricated with the lubricant. The device also includes a pressure equalizer connected to the reservoir. The device also includes a first loop comprising a first line system through which the lubricant flows between the machine and the reservoir. The lubricant within the first loop is at a first pressure. The device also includes a temperature regulation system configured to regulate a temperature of the lubricant. The device also includes a second loop comprising a second line system through which the lubricant flows between the temperature regulation system and the reservoir. The lubricant within the second loop is at a second pressure that is less than the first pressure. The second loop is separate from the first loop.

    摘要: A system for compressing casing gas from a hydrocarbon well is provided. The hydrocarbon well has a wellhead, a production string that produces fluids from a hydrocarbon formation, and a casing string that receives the production string. The wellhead is connected to a pipeline that transports the produced fluids. The system has a liquid conduit that receives liquids liquid from a source of liquid, a casing gas conduit that receives casing gas from the casing string, an outlet conduit, and a pump that is capable of pumping a liquid/gas mixture. The pump is in fluid communication with the liquid conduit and the casing gas conduit, such that the inlet receives liquid from the liquid conduit and casing gas from the casing gas conduit and an outlet connected to the pipeline.
