Fracturing pump assembly

Abstract

An improved fracturing pump is provided. The pump is reconfigurable on site. Internal components of the pump may be varied to meet the requirements of a specific operation. The reconfiguration gives the user the ability to increase or decrease the horsepower of the pump. A closed loop oil feed system provides constant and reliable lubrication even under heavy loads. The sealing system is enhanced to reduce leaks and thermal stresses. The pump also has an improved frame and chassis to reduce NVH and enhance reliability.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A fracturing pump assembly comprising: a frame having a plurality of bores formed therethrough; and a plurality of crossheads disposed in the plurality of bores, respectively, and adapted to reciprocate therein; a skid on which a power end is mounted; whereby said frame is reinforced by partition and said skid is integrated into said frame. 
     
     
         2 . The pump of  claim 1  wherein said frame includes opposing end walls with a series of partitioning walls disposed therebetween, all of said walls having an opening formed therein, where said walls have a series of enhancement members radiating outwardly therefrom. 
     
     
         3 . A fracturing pump assembly comprising: a frame having a plurality of bores formed therethrough; and a plurality of crossheads disposed in the plurality of bores, respectively, and adapted to reciprocate therein;
 a set of gears disposed within said frame, said gears mechanically connected to a source of motive power for turning a crankshaft, said crankshaft operating to cause reciprocating motion of a series of plungers having a predetermined stroke length a skid on which a power end is mounted;   whereby said frame is reinforced by partition and said skid is integrated into said frame.
