English Abstract



This invention relates to the construction, of a double acting linear
compressor of the type
described in Canadian patent no 2473077 that can be used as an air compressor
or as a liquid
pump. Said compressor is operated by a screw of a screw jack that needs a
fairly little torque in
order to compress air when it is used as an air compressor, or to pump liquid
as water, oil or the
like when it is used as a liquid pump. Said screw, communicates a linear and
reciprocating
movement to all pistons of said reciprocating double acting pump the subject
of the present
invention, through cables and pulley systems in addition, to be able to pump
especially oil from
deep wells. Said double acting cable oil pump uses less energy for the same
pumped quantity of
oil, comparing with conventional cable oil pump that are not double acting.

CA 02514817 2005-08-11
Reciprocating double acting pump.
This invention relates to the construction of a reciprocating double acting
pump according mainly
to the methods of the Canadian patent no 2473077.
The prior art includes cable linear pumps that are not double acting and where
the time needed for
their pistons to go back to the pumping position of next cycle is not
productive. More over In these
pumps, powerful motors are needed in order to develop the necessary torque
needed to pump
water, oil or the like, depending on the heads that can be very high
especially in oil wells or on the
needed discharge pressure.
The subject of this invention is a reciprocating double acting linear
compressor of the type
described in Canadian patent no 2473077 that can be used as an air compressor
or as a liquid
pump. Said compressor is operated by a screw of a screw jack that needs a
fairly little torque in
order to compress air when it is used as an air compressor, or to pump liquid
as water, oil or the
like when it is used as a liquid pump. Said screw, communicates a linear and
reciprocating
movement to all pistons of said reciprocating double acting linear pump the
subject of the present
invention, through cables and pulley systems in addition, to be able to pump
especially oil from
deep wells. Said reciprocating double acting linear cable oil pump uses less
energy for the same
pumped quantity of oil, comparing with conventional linear cable oil pump that
are not double
acting. The time needed for the pistons to go back to the pumping position of
the next cycle, is not
productive in conventional linear cable oil pump, while it is productive in
this reciprocating double
acting linear cable oil pump the subject of the present invention.
My patent no CA 2473077 disclose the embodiment and the functioning of a
reciprocating
double acting air compressor, and the following is the embodiment of a
reciprocating double
acting liquid pump that is the subject of the present invention, including.
1- A frame, that supports large forces caused by the pressure of pumped
liquids that
counteract on the screw of the screw jack, through the piston or the pistons
that are attached to it,
during the operation of said reciprocating double acting pump.

CA 02514817 2005-08-11
2- A screw jack, used to overcome large resistant forces as the one developed
by the pressure
of the pumped liquid on the total surface of the piston or all the pistons of
the same pump that are
pumping at the same time during the same cycle. Said screw jack transmits the
force and the linear
and reciprocating movement of its screw to all said pistons of said
reciprocating double acting
pump, while pushing-in or pulling-back, or pushing-in and pulling-back at the
same time said
pistons. Liquid is admitted and compressed inside the respective cylinders of
the pistons, two
times by period according to the configuration of said reciprocating double
acting pump.
Said screw jack includes:
A- A screw that is driven by a free turning gear-nut located in a boring
machined in a
brace affixed to the main frame described above which is capable of sustaining
big stress.
This stress is caused by the force of the pressure of the pumped liquid
depending on the
heads that can be very high especially in oil wells or on the discharge
pressure when said
double acting pump is used as a pressure pump. Said force is the result of the
pressure that
exerts on the surface of all the pistons of said reciprocating double acting
pump during its
operation, while A fairly little torque is needed to push-in or to pull-back
said pistons
inside their respective cylinders. Said screw is set to move reciprocally in a
straight line,
either right and left if the pump works horizontally, or up and down if the
pump works
vertically like in water or oil wells.
B- A pinion that is used to operate said free-turning gear-nut that can be
combined to a
gearbox in order to provide a controlled linear and reciprocating movement to
the screw of
the screw j ack.
C- A mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic motor to provide the
needed
torque and motion to said screw of said screw jack. In the example of the
present
application the chosen motor is electrical.
D- A casing full of oil to lubricate the screw and all of the gears of the
screw jack.
E- Electrical contactors needed to operate circuit breakers that are used to
control the
motor or the gearbox of said screw jack at the end of every cycle in order to
alternate the
2

CA 02514817 2005-08-11
rotation of the gear-nut that can be clockwise or counter clockwise. The
alternation of the
rotation of the gear-nut gives to the screw of the screw jack an alternative
movement that
enhances at the same time admission by one side and compression by the other
side of
every piston in its respective cylinder.
F- A tongue that is affixed to said screw of said screw jack and used to
control the
rotation of said motor or said gear box of said screw jack through said
electrical contactors.
The direction of rotation of said gear-nut changes at the end of the
compression stroke of
every cycle. In addition said electrical contactors are distant one from the
other, exactly the
same distance of the run that any one of the pistons travels inside its
respective cylinder,
from the beginning to the end of the compression cycle.
3- Cylinders, in which double acting pistons are moved alternatively by said
screw of said
screw jack, in order to pump water, oil or the like.
4- Inlet and outlet valves placed on both ends of each cylinder of said
reciprocating double
actW g pump.
5- Coupling shaft that is attached to the bottom of a piston of the pump in a
way to operate the
same piston alternatively when said piston is pulled through its rod or
through its coupling shaft by
a cable. When a pump has more than one piston placed one after the other, the
coupling shaft is
used to operate all of the pistons like if they are only one piston.
6- Said reciprocating double acting pump can be built with one cylinder, but
the linear and
reciprocating movement of its screw of the screw jack, allows us to install
cylinders on one or on
both ends of said screw according to the configurations of every pump. The
number of cylinders is
calculated according to the needed flow of liquid. In addition all of the
pistons have the same
length, which is exactly equal to the same distance of the run that said screw
of said screw jack,
travels from the beginning to the end of the compression cycle. The cylinders
of the same pump
can have Same or different diameters, while all of these cylinders are set to
operate all the time in
a parallel way.
3

CA 02514817 2005-08-11
7- The pistons of said pump are joined together and moved like only one piston
by the linear
and reciprocating movement that the screw of the screw jack transmit to them
without the need of
any crank or crank handle, through:
A- Couplings and intermediary coupling shafts that are installed between every
two
pistons of every two cylinders that are placed one after the other.
B- Brace attached to all pistons of all cylinders that are placed side by side
on every
end of the screw of the screw jack through connections. Said brace is attached
to said
pistons in a way to have the screw pushing-in or pulling-back all the pistons
directly
without the need of any coupling shafts of the sort described above.
The pumping of liquid in this reciprocating double acting pump the subject of
the present
invention is done accordingly to the following:
With a pump having one cylinder:
1- before running the pump, all of its components have to be in place:
2- Let's consider that liquid exists already inside the cylinder of the pump,
and the
piston is in the beginning of its run of this cycle which is equal to the
depth of its respective
cylinder.
3- The tongue that is affixed to the screw of the screw jack of said
reciprocating
double acting pump sets on a first electrical contactor in order to set on a
first circuit
breaker. Then the electric motor starts turning in the right direction needed
to push-in said
piston in its respective cylinder through the screw of the screw jack that is
affixed to it.
4- The gear-nut starts turning freely in its bore of the brace
that is a part of the main frame when it is operated by the above mentioned
motor through
the pinion that can be combined to a gear box. The rotation of the gear-nut in
one direction
or in the other, communicates a linear and reciprocating movement to the screw
of the
4

CA 02514817 2005-08-11
screw jack. In addition said screw of said screw jack transmits a linear and
reciprocating
movement with the needed torque to the piston of said reciprocating double
acting pump, in
order to compress and push the liquid out of the cylinder toward a pipe line.
5- As the pump is reciprocal and double acting, it means that, while
compressing
liquid in the cylinder by one side of the piston, fresh liquid will be sucked-
in by the other
side of the same piston in the same cylinder.
6- When the piston arrives at the end of its run, at this moment all of the
liquid of that
cycle is compressed and expelled to the pipe line, while it has sucked-in, all
the needed
fresh liquid to fill up the same cylinder, but by its other side.
7- At the end of the first cycle, the rotation of the gear-nut changes when
the gearbox
is controlled through the above-mentioned tongue that operates a second
electrical
contactor. Said screw of said screw jack is than set to move in the other
direction in order
to pullback the same piston in the same cylinder.
8- The same way, the gear-nut starts turning freely in the other direction
allowing said
screw of said screw jack to pull the same piston in the other direction that
starts another
cycle. The imprisoned liquid is then compressed in the same cylinder by the
other side of
the same piston, and fresh liquid is admitted in the same cylinder by the
other side of the
same piston that was compressing during the previous cycle.
9- At the end of its new run which is the same run traveled in the other
direction for
the previous cycle, the piston finishes to push out of the cylinders the new
batch of liquid.
In addition and at the same time fresh liquid is sucked-in by the other side
of the same
piston in order to fill up again the same cylinder for another new cycle of
compression
while the pumping is in progress.
10- Instead of having the motor stopping and restarting in the other direction
every time
the piston arrives at the end of every cycle, the screw jack can be equipped
with an
automatic planetary gearbox with electrical commands. Said automatic planetary
gearbox
5

CA 02514817 2005-08-11
alternates the rotation of the gear-nut in order to alternate the movement of
the screw of the
screw jack. The alternative movement of said screw is than transmitted to the
pistons of
said reciprocating double acting pump, while the motor of the screw jack keeps
turning in
the same direction.
11- The screw and the gears of the screw jack are kept lubricated by the oil,
which is in
the casing of the screw jack.
The other aspects of this invention:
A- A pump with two cylinders installed one cylinder on each end of the screw
of the
screw jack; where said screw operates the two pistons as follow:
1- The two cylinders of the same pump can have the same or different
diameters, but
both of them must have the same length. The length of every cylinder is equal
to the total
run (L) of the screw of the screw jack traveled between the beginning and the
end of the
same compression stroke of the same cycle that is equal to the length of every
piston. All
of the pistons of the same pump travel one distance at the same time in one
direction or in
the other. This distance is equal to the same run (L) of the screw of the
screw jack traveled
between the beginning and the end of the same compression stroke of the same
cycle. The
functioning of these two cylinders is done in a parallel way that means; when
there is
admission in one cylinder on one side of its piston, it will be compression in
the same
cylinder, but by the other side of the same piston. Exactly the same thing
will happen in
parallel and at the same time in the other cylinder of the same pump, and the
operation will
be for both of them; admission with admission, and compression with
compression.
2- the pistons of the same pump are attached one on each end of the screw of
the
screw jack that transmits its force and its motion with its direction to both
pistons at the same
time while operating them in parallel as described above. Hence, the distance
that the screw
travels in one direction or in the other does not change for one or for two
pistons. The power
needed for the operation of said pump is proportional to the force to overcome
and which is
exerting at the same time on the total surface of both pistons, by the
pressure of the liquid
6

CA 02514817 2005-08-11
inside the two respective cylinders of the pump.
B- A multi-cylinder pump that has a number of cylinders installed on one or
two sides of
the same screw jack, where said screw operates all of the pistons as follow:
1- the screw of the screw jack will be made like the one of a pump with one
cylinder,
if the cylinders with their pistons are installed on one side of the screw of
the screw jack. Or
like the one of a pump with two cylinders, if the cylinders with their pistons
are installed on
both sides of the screw of the screw jack.
2- the pistons on each side of the pump are attached together in a way that
the first
pistons adjacent to the screw receive directly the force and the movement of
the screw. The
force and the movement of the screw is then transmitted to the other pistons
of the other
cylinders, through intermediary coupling shafts and couplings that have to be
installed
between every two adjacent pistons on each side. This configuration favors a
parallel
functioning for all of the cylinders and their pistons as described above for
the functioning
of a pump with two cylinders. Hence, the distance traveled by the screw in one
direction or
in the other does not change like for one or for two cylinders. The power
needed for the
operation of the pump is proportional to the force to overcome that is
exerting at the same
time on the total surface of all the pistons, by the pressure of the liquid
inside the cylinders
of the same pump.
3- The pistons and the cylinders of the same multi-cylinder pump must have the
same
length for all of the pistons, but said cylinders can have the same or
different diameters, the
same way as for the cylinders and the pistons of a pump with two cylinders.
However the use
of intermediary coupling shafts and couplings between every two adjacent
pistons of each
side is mandatory, to permit to the same screw of the same screw jack to
operate them
together at once like if they are only one piston.
4- the use of an undetermined number of cylinders in order to increase the
flow of said
pump. Said cylinders can be installed on one or two ends of the screw that
operates the
pistons in their respective cylinders.
7

CA 02514817 2005-08-11
C- A double acting cable pump with one or multiple cylinders that can be used
to pump
especially oil from deep wells. Every pump of this type is configured to fit
and be affixed
inside a well at a low point where the pumping is planed to occur. An
appropriate screw jack
has to be installed outside of the well, but the torque and the alternative
movement of its
screw are transmitted to the pistons of said pump according to the following:
1- Through a first cable that is attached from one end to the piston's rod of
the top
cylinder, and from the other end to a coupling bracket that attaches the first
cable to the
screw of the screw jack.
2- Through a second cable that is attached from one end to a coupling shaft
that in turn
is attached to the bottom side of the last piston of the last cylinder. The
other end of the
second cable is attached too to the same coupling bracket that attaches the
first cable to the
screw of the screw jack.
3- Through a first system of pulleys that is affixed to a frame affixed in
turn to the
main frame of the screw jack. This system of pulleys allows the first cable to
loop around it
in a way and in order to pull upwardly the piston or the pistons of said pump
when the
cable is pulled downwardly by the screw of the screw jack.
4- through a second system of pulleys that is affixed to another frame affixed
in turn to
the outside bottom of the lower cylinder of the pump. This second system of
pulleys is
located in a compartment located in turn between the lower cylinder and the
bottom end of
said double acting cable pump that holds one-way valves which in turn let in,
fresh oil
during the functioning of said double acting cable pump. This system of
pulleys allows the
second cable to loop around it in a way and in order to pull downwardly the
piston or the
pistons of said pump when the cable is pulled upwardly by the same screw of
the same
screw jack.
The upper-end of said double acting cable pump, holds one-way valves and it is
designed to have a
sealing device between lower and higher-pressure zones of said well, as well
it is designed to have
8

CA 02514817 2005-08-11
a fixing device that holds the pump in place at a chosen depth in said well.
In addition the lower-
end of said double acting cable pump, is designed to have another sealing and
fixing devices in
order to seal between the pump and the oil of the well, as well to help the
upper-fixing device in
holding said cable pump in place at the desired depth. However this double
acting cable pump that
can be used to pump effectively oil from very deep oil wells can have any
needed number of
cylinders in order to pump the needed flow of oil at a condition to be
equipped with an appropriate
screw jack and a motor that can develop the needed torque in order to pump the
needed flow from
the actual depth to the servicing pipeline. More over appropriate materials
are needed too for the
construction of said pump in order to support the high hydrostatic pressure of
the column of oil.
Note: The above mentioned functioning of said reciprocating double acting
cable pump, is for a
pump that has the screw of its screw jack attached to said first and second
cables through said
coupling bracket between the above mentioned two system of pulleys. When the
screw is attached
to said first and said second cables between the upper-system of pulleys and
the piston's rod of the
top piston, the movement of said piston or pistons will be upwardly when the
screw is moving
upwardly, and downwardly when said screw is moving downwardly. In addition the
needed torque
to operate said screw in order to overcome the force that is developed inside
said cylinders of said
reciprocating double acting pump due to the liquid's hydrostatic pressure or
to the needed liquid's
discharge pressure is calculated according to the following formula:
Torque (mN) _ [The force to overcome (in Newton) x The screw pitch (In metre)]
/ (Divided by)
[2xPior3.1416]
D- A reciprocating double acting compressor having its cylinders made out of
flexible
hoses that can be used as an air compressor or as a liquid pump, including:
1- Flexible hoses made out of clothe or the like that replace said cylinder or
cylinders.
2- Braces that replace said piston or pistons and operated by said screw of
said screw
jack while they are used to operate said flexible hoses during the functioning
of said air
compressor or said liquid pump.
3- A stationary head for every flexible hose that hold the needed inlet and
outlet
9

CA 02514817 2005-08-11
valves for the good functioning of said compressor, and on which is affixed
one end of said
flexible hose.
4- A protrusion that is a part of the above-mentioned brace and on which the
other end
of said flexible hose is affixed. Said protrusion is used to hold the flexible
hose during
every compression cycle while eliminating almost all of the dead volume that
is formed by
said flexible hose at the end of every compression cycle.
5- A well predetermined quantity of liquid as water, oil or the like that is
placed
permanently inside said flexible hose. This liquid is used to evacuate all of
the remaining

Operation of the invention.
A- The patent no 2473077 explains in details the functioning of a double
acting air
compressor, but if the fluid is liquid, then the functioning of the pump will
be the same in
pumping water, oil or the like.
B- Reciprocating double acting cable pump
According to the example of the present invention, the Reciprocating double
acting cable pump
has two Cylinders and is used to pump oil from an oil well, and before
starting it, all of its
components must be in place in order to pump oil from deep depth.
1- The location of said Reciprocating double acting cable pump inside said oil
well is
well chosen at the right depth.
2- The pump will be affixed inside said well 62 at the predetermined depth,
through
the seal and fixing devices 64-A from up and 65-A from down.
3- Said screw jack 3-A will be installed outside of said well.
4- said frame 61 will be in place affixed to the main frame 21 of the screw
jack 3-A in
order to hold said system of pulleys 60.
5- Said frame 61-A will be in place affixed to the outside bottom end 1B-B of

10- When the electric motor 11 starts turning, the torque will be transferred
to the screw
3 of the screw jack 3-A, through an automatic planetary gearbox 11-A with
electric
commands as an example. Said planetary gearbox 11-A is operated by the
electric
contactors 8 and 9 in order to alternate the rotation of the gear-nut 4 that
in turn it alternates
the movement of said screw 3 upwardly or downwardly.
11- If the screw 3 of the screw jack 3-A is moving upwardly, the cable 59-A
will be
pulled upwardly, but because of the system of pulleys 60-A the pistons 2 and 2-
B will be
pulled downwardly according to the present configuration that shows the
coupling bracket
10 attached to the cables 59 and 59-A between the two systems of pulleys 60
and 60-A.

valves 63-A,
the inlet gallery 37-A, the inlet valve 14 toward cylinder 1 by side 47 of
piston 2, and the
inlet valve 14-B toward cylinder 1-B by side 47-B of piston 2-B.
13- If already oil was inside cylinder 1 by side 46 of piston 2, and inside
cylinder 1-B
by side 46-B of piston 2-B, than this oil will be compressed in cylinder 1 by
side 46 of
piston 2 to go the outlet gallery 37 through the outlet line 22, and in
cylinder 1-B by side
46-B to go the same outlet gallery 37 through the outlet line 22-B. This
compressed oil
goes through the one-way valve 63 to the servicing pipeline that starts in
this case by upper
18

CA 02514817 2005-08-11
part of the piping of said oil well 62 that is located above said
reciprocating double acting
pump, than to a storage facility.
14- The cable 59 will be pulled downwardly in order to be ready for the next
compression cycle by side 47 and 47-B of the same pistons 2 and 2-B in their
respective
cylinders 1 and 1-B.
15- At the end of the downward run of pistons 2 and 2-B, the tongue 7 touches
said
electric contactor 8, and the gearbox 11-A will be commanded to turn the gear-
nut 4 in the
other direction that starts to move the screw 3 of the screw jack 3-A
downwardly.
16- When the screw 3 of the screw jack 3-A is moving downwardly, the cable 59
will
be pulled downwardly, but because of the system of pulleys 60 the pistons 2
and 2-B will
be pulled upwardly.
17- Oil enters said reciprocating double acting pump through the one-way
valves 63-A,
the inlet gallery 37-A, the inlet valve 15 toward cylinder 1 by side 46 of
piston 2, and the
inlet valve 15-B toward cylinder 1-B by side 46-B of piston 2-B.
18- The oil that is now inside cylinder 1 by side 47 of piston 2, and inside
cylinder 1-B
by side 47-B of piston 2-B, will be compressed in cylinder 1 by side 47 of
piston 2 to go
the same outlet gallery 37 through the outlet line 23, and in cylinder 1-B by
side 47-B to go
to the same outlet gallery 37 through the outlet line 23-B. This compressed
oil goes
through the same one-way valve 63 to the same servicing pipeline.
19- The cable 59-A will be pulled upwardly in order to be ready for the next
compression cycle of the same pistons 2 and 2-B in their respective cylinders
1 and 1-B.

flexible hoses 69-A
and 69-B will be compressed, and the flexible hoses 69 and 69-C will be
extended.
16- Air enters the flexible hose 69 through the inlet valve 14, and the
flexible hose 69-C
through the inlet valve 14-5, while the air that is already in the flexible
hose 69-A and 69-B
will be compressed, and when its pressure riches the predetermined limit the
outlet vales
112 and 13-A open in order to let the compressed air to star exiting said
flexible hoses 69-
A and 69-B toward said pressure through the outlet valves 12, 13-A, and the
outlet lines 22
and 23-A.
17- When the compression cycle in flexible hoses 69-A and 69-B approaches its
final
end, the protrusions 66-A and 68-B are helped by the liquid 70 to evacuate all
of the
remaining compressed air toward said pressure tank.
18- At the end of the run to the left of the braces 66 and 68, the tongue 7
touches said
electric contactor 9, and the gearbox 11-A will be commanded to turn the gear-
nut 4 in the
other direction that starts to move the screw 3 of the screw jack 3-A to the
right starting
another period.
19- The air compressing continuous as long the screw jack 3-A is running and
operating
the flexible hoses through the screw 3 and the braces 66 and 68.

20- This type of compressor with flexible hoses are used to pump fluids at a
fairly low
pressure. But the pumps that have their cylinders made out of steel, composite
or the like,
can be used to pump liquids at very high heads or at very high discharge
pressure, and to
compress gases at very high discharge pressure.
The advantage of using the reciprocating double acting pump the subject of the
present invention,
is that this pump is very effective especially when it is used to pump oil
from oil well specifically
from the very deep ones, where conventional cable pumps are used normally. The
time needed for
the pistons to go back to the pumping position in conventional cable pumps is
not productive,
while it is productive in these cable pumps the subject of the present
invention that help to
conserve a tremendous amount of energy.
It should be understood of course, that the foregoing disclosure relates to
only a preferred
embodiment of the invention. This disclosure is intended to cover all changes,
and modifications
of the example of the invention herein chosen for the purposes of the
disclosure, which do not
constitute departures from the spirit and scope of the invention.
