Reinforced elastomeric bag for use with electric submergible motor protectors

摘要

A reinforced elastomeric bag 22 for use within an electric submergible motor protector 10 has a generally cylindrical bag body formed as a single continuous structure, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 38 longitudinally disposed about an inside surface of the bag body. The reinforcing ribs 38 prevent the bag body from collapsing onto and blocking oil inlet ports 36 within the motor protector. The elastomeric material can be made from tetrafluoroethylene-propylene and other such like plastics material.
