To prevent this, a sealing configuration ( | 11-26-2015 |
| 20150377232 | PISTON WITH A HEAT EXCHANGER - A piston with an integrated heat exchanger comprises a seal, a piston hub and a piston rod. The piston hub is further provided with a coolant reservoir and an outlet nozzle at its lateral surface. The heat exchanger integrated into the piston hub and/or the piston hub include a coolant manifold, a coolant passage communicating thereto, and a plurality of channels connecting to the coolant manifold and extending radially to the annulus. Said heat exchanger provides enhanced efficiencies of heat-exchange and debris-flushing. | 12-31-2015 |
| 20160017998 | Self Cleaning Pistons - A technique facilitates tool operation with mobile pistons submitted to differential pressure. The technique utilizes a mobile piston slidably mounted in a corresponding piston passage. The piston passage is defined by a passage wall surface, and the piston may be moved linearly along the piston passage under the influence of an actuating fluid or to pump a fluid. The exterior surface of the piston and/or the passage wall surface have a groove or a plurality of grooves located and arranged to collect particulates from the fluid. Removal of the particulates facilitates actuator piston function by reducing, for example, third body abrasion and jamming of the piston. | 01-21-2016 |
| 20160025218 | Floating Piston - An actuator is provided. The actuator includes: a housing having an interior elongated hole; a rod dimensioned to fit in the elongated hole; a piston dimensioned to fit in and move along the elongated hole while connected to the rod; mating structure located on at least one of the piston and rod, the mating structure configured to allow the rod to attach to the piston in a manner to create clearance between the rod and the piston to allow the rod and piston to move with respect to each other. A method of attaching a piston to a rod in an actuator may also be provided. The method may include: fitting the piston to the rod; providing a clearance between the piston and the rod; fastening the piston to the rod in a loose manner as to preserve the clearance and allow the piston to move with respect to the rod. | 01-28-2016 |
| 20160039054 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REPAIRING FLUID HANDLING EQUIPMENT - A method includes removing a worn portion from a component of a rotary isobaric pressure exchanger (IPX). The rotary IPX is configured to exchange pressures between a first fluid and a second fluid. The method also includes repairing the component after the worn portion is removed from the component. | 02-11-2016 |
| 20160040681 | THERMAL RETRACTING ACTUATOR - A thermal actuator for a rotating shaft shutdown seal that has a piston with a portion of its axial length enclosed within a chamber shell with a material that expands upon a rise in temperature. The portion of the actual length of the piston within the chamber has at least two different diameters with the larger diameter leading in the direction of travel of the piston. Upon a rise in temperature, expansion of the material surrounding the piston within the chamber creates a force on the piston in the desired direction of travel. Below a preselected temperature the piston is positively locked with a passive release when the preselected temperature is reached. | 02-11-2016 |
| 20160059366 | PISTON WITH THERMALLY INSULATED CROWN - Exemplary pistons and methods are disclosed. A piston may include a piston body defining a piston axis, the body including radially inner and outer body mating surfaces, and an annular ring cooperating with the piston body to form a continuous upper combustion bowl surface having a radially inner portion defined by the piston body and a radially outer portion defined by the annular ring. The annular ring includes a radially inner ring mating surface and a radially outer ring mating surface, wherein at least one of the annular ring mating surfaces is joined with the corresponding piston body mating surface. The annular ring and piston body cooperate to define an annular gap therebetween configured to thermally insulate the piston body from the annular ring. | 03-03-2016 |
| 20160159377 | Brake Piston Assembly - A brake cylinder piston assembly having a composite piston head having a bore formed therethrough, a cup positioned in the bore and coupled to the piston head, and a hollow rod securely welded to the cup. The cup is coupled to the piston head by a series of fingers with locking tabs that extend around the bore of the piston head and engage a rim of the cup. The bore of the piston head has two steps that correspond to the two steps formed into outside of the cup so the two step outer diameter of the cup is securely seated in the two step inner diameter of the bore. A plastic load disc having a hemispherical cavity may be positioned within the end of the hollow rod that is secured to the cup to absorb high energy hand brake releases. | 06-09-2016 |
