Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A gas extraction system for gas analysis is provided. The gas extraction system includes the use of a peristaltic pump for moving condensates to a liquid trap assembly. An improved fluid flow is thus provided, which includes delivering condensate from a condensate separator to a peristaltic pump and delivering the condensate from the peristaltic pump to a liquid trap assembly.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A gas extraction system that includes a vortex cooler, a condensate separator and a liquid trap, comprising: a self-sealing peristaltic condensate pump, comprising a peristaltic pump head and an air motor for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, wherein the peristaltic condensate pump delivers condensate received from the vortex cooler into the condensate separator and then pumped to the liquid trap assembly. 2. The gas extraction system of claim 1 , wherein the peristaltic pump comprises tubing of a material suitable for withstanding drilling fluid condensates and intermittent occlusion and restitution. 3. The gas extraction system of claim 1 , wherein the peristaltic pump comprises a rotor and at least two protrusions. 4. The gas extraction system of claim 1 , wherein the peristaltic pump comprises an inlet in fluid communication with the condensate separator and an outlet in fluid communication with the liquid trap assembly. 5. The gas extraction system of claim 1 , wherein the peristaltic pump is self-sealing. 6. The gas extraction system of claim 1 , wherein the peristaltic pump provides a pump rate of about 10-50 cc/min. 7. The gas extraction system of claim 1 , wherein the peristaltic pump further comprises a gearbox between a pump head and an motor to increase torque, change pump head speed, or both. 8. The gas extraction system of claim 1 , wherein the air motor is approved for hazardous duty service in an explosive atmosphere such as an ATEX rated air motor.
