Wellbore fluid blending apparatus with motor cooling system
The patent US12036521B2 describes a transportable wellbore fluid blender designed to enhance the efficiency of mixing process fluids with additives for wellbore applications. Central to the apparatus is a motor that is directly coupled to a rotating apparatus, such as a mixer or pump. The motor is cooled by a circulating fluid that transfers heat away from the motor to the process fluid in communication with the rotating apparatus. The design includes a heat exchanger and a control system that regulates the temperature of the process fluid, ensuring optimal mixing conditions. The apparatus is compact, with a height of less than seven feet, making it suitable for various operational environments.
The method outlined in the patent involves receiving process fluid at the rotating apparatus, where it is mixed with additives to create a wellbore fluid. The control system, equipped with temperature and flowrate sensors, allows for real-time adjustments to the fluid's temperature and flowrate. This is achieved by modifying the position of valves and adjusting the speed of the rotating apparatus based on sensor inputs. The system is designed to maintain a target temperature range and ensure efficient cooling through the heat exchanger. Additionally, the method incorporates advanced techniques such as forward modeling and valve sequencing to optimize the mixing process and minimize the recirculation of heated fluid back to the source.
