Feeder channel for mud shaker

摘要

A feeder channel for use in a filter separator machine is used for separation of undesired particles from a well fluid used in petroleum industry which has a purpose of guiding fluid and particle flow to the area of the filter that provides the best utilization of available filtration area and includes: a feeder channel is arranged so that the upstream well fluid is guided via a guiding- and turning plate, which is installed in series in opposite repeated direction in which the outlet of each guiding- and the turning plate facing the center of the vertical line. The fluid will for this reason be independent on how the feeder channel is installed in the direction and angle, and will provide a homogeneous flow profile as it guided through the mouth guide plate and internal guide fin against the distribution plate. The fluid is then distributed to the filter's inner part and utilizes the entire filter surface area and the filter separator machines movement and function.

主权项

1. A feeder channel of a mud shaker for supplying a particle-containing drilling mud fluid flow to an inlet portion at a first end of a vibrating separation filter, said vibrating separation filter extending in a main transport direction towards an cnda second end portion of said vibrating separation filter, wherein a plane parallel with the main transport direction of the vibrating separation filter is defined as a horizontal plane, and a plane vertical to the main transport direction is defined as a vertical plane,
the feeder channel comprising: an upper feeder channel portion for feeding in said fluid flow; at least one lower guide- and turn plate arranged to deflect said fluid flow in a direction of said main transport direction of said vibrating separation filter; a lower feeder channel portion comprising a mouth guide plate connected thereto and arranged to turn said fluid flow mainly in an opposite direction of said main transport direction of said vibrating separation filter; a distributor plate connected to the lower feeder channel portion and provided with a lower distributor skirt extending transversely at a feeding in portion near said first end of said vibrating separation filter, wherein the mouth guide plate is configured to direct said fluid flow toward the distributor plate.
