Hydraulic "Batteries" Save Fuel
Accumulator-based energy recovery systems improve mobile-equipment efficiency. Hydropneumatic accumulators are widely used in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems because they provide auxiliary power during peak periods. This lets designers select smaller pumps, motors, and reservoirs

Using Thermography to Study the Convective Flow of Fractured Rocks
recovery methods and to the optimal design of disposal sites for radioactive waste. IR. thermography has been used as a fundamental, non intrusive-tool to prove the validity of theoretical models. that accurately describe the thermal anomalies and the flow patterns in fractured porous media. THERMAL

Water Alternating Gas Injection System Requires
A major oil/gas producer in the. Southeastern US needed to implement. enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology to. boost production in a mature oil field. For. the past 25 years the company had been. using water-flooding, but this technology. was no longer providing the desired output. The field's

Accumulators Deliver New Payoffs
valves and shunting it to the reservoir. But charging an accumulator with the high-pressure hydraulic fluid instead means previously wasted energy is stored and can subsequently be used to supplement pump flow to lift the excavator arms and load. This energy recovery makes it possible to reduce pump

Foamy Oil PVT and Rheology Measurements (.pdf)
"Foamy oil" phenomenon is associated with primary cold production, a non-thermal recovery process, from heavy-oil reservoirs producing under solution-gas drive mechanism. The "foamy oil" hypothesis used to explain the unusually high production is still much debated. A number of heavy oil solution

Subtleties of servoamps
the supply. On reaching operating speed, the transition from accelerating to running current reduces the IR drop. There is a small upward step in output voltage. With less load current, supply voltage droop begins its recovery to normal running values. Any supply must provide sufficient current
