Working Procedure of NOV Emsco FB-1600 Triplex Mud Pump
The NOV triplex pumps have three cylinders with single acting. The pistons are moved back and pull in drilling mud through open intake valves. When the pistons are moved forward and the drilling fluid is pushed out through open discharge valves.
Advantages of NOV Emsco FB-1600 Triplex Mud Pump
NOV Emsco FB-1600 Triplex Mud Pumps have many advantages they weight 30% less than a duplex of equal horsepower or kilowatts. The lighter weight parts are easier to handle and therefore easier to maintain. The other advantages include;
- They cost less to operate
- They discharge mud more smoothly. That is, the triplex’s output does not surge as much as a duplex.
- They are fluid end is more accessible
- One of the more important advantages of triplex over duplex pumps, is that they can move large volumes of mud at the higher pressure is required for modern deep hole drilling.
NOV Emsco FB-1600 Triplex Mud Pump are gradually phasing out duplex units. In a triplex pump, the pistons discharge mud only when they move forward in the liner. Then, when they moved back they draw in mud on the same side of the piston. Because of this, they are also called “single acting.” Single acting triplex pumps, pump mud at a relatively high speeds. NOV Emsco FB-1600 Triplex Mud Pump has three pistons each moving in its own liner. It also has three intake valves and three discharge valves. It also has a pulsation dampener in the discharge line.
