Reinforced smart mud pump

Abstract

A pump system for movement of fluids having a reciprocating piston power pump having at least three reciprocating pistons operable to displace fluid from a housing having a pumping chamber, an integrally forged crankshaft operably connected to the pistons, at least one sensor operable to sense ambient conditions on the pump, and a computer control for processing data from the sensor to regulate the operation of the pump in response to the data. The system also utilizes protective infused treatments for lubricity and enhanced lubrication sprayers and a reset relief valve and pressure sensors operably connected to the computer system for control and monitoring of the pump.

1 . A pump system for movement of fluids comprising:

       2 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a reset relief valve operably connected to said pump and actuatable in response to a predetermined pressure. 
   
   
       3 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a reset relief valve operably connected to said pump actuatable in response to a sensor in communication with said control. 
   
   
       4 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising sensing of conditions by a transducer. 
   
   
       5 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said pump speed may be operably controlled in response to said data. 
   
   
       6 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 3  wherein said pump speed may be operably controlled in response to said transducer. 
   
   
       7 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a vessel for collecting pumped fluid before porting to a downstream pipe. 
   
   
       8 . A pump system for movement of fluids comprising:
 A reciprocating piston power pump having at least three reciprocating pistons operable to displace fluid from a housing having a pumping chamber;   An integrally forged crankshaft operably connected to said pistons;   Polyflorocarbon infused treatment applied to at least one crosshead slide in said system; and   At least one sensor operable to sense ambient conditions on said pump.   
   
   
       9 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 8  further comprising an air pressure seal about a portion of a rod connected to at least one of said pistons. 
   
   
       10 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 8  further comprising an oil lubrication shower about said crankshaft. 
   
   
       11 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 8  further comprising a vibration sensor. 
   
   
       12 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 8  wherein said air pressure seal circumferentially applies pressurized air about said rod. 
   
   
       13 . A pump system for movement of fluids comprising:
 A reciprocating piston power pump having at least three reciprocating pistons operable to displace fluid from a housing having a pumping chamber;   An integrally forged crankshaft operably connected to said pistons;   At least one sensor operable to sense ambient conditions on said pump;   A computer control for processing data from said sensor to regulate the operation of the pump in response to said data; and   Pressure sensors for monitoring fluid pressure operably connected to said computer control.   
   
   
       14 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 12  further comprising a reset relief valve. 
   
   
       15 . A pump system as claimed in  claim 15  further comprising a vessel for receiving pumped fluid before porting to a pipe.
