Abstract:Efficient extraction of hard-to-recover hydrocarbon reserves requires impressive expenditures on the use of advanced technologies and energy-intensive equipment. Hydraulic fracturing technologies require the use of high-pressure pumps (105 and 138 MPa), and this determines the use of plunger pumps in these conditions. To relieve the radial load on the plunger seals, a crosshead layout of the drive part is used. The goal is to investigate crosshead (guide) load distribution throughout the crankcase and also the… Show more
