Abstract

An example turbine fracturing apparatus and an example turbine fracturing well site are disclosed. The turbine fracturing apparatus may include a turbine engine, configured to provide power; a deceleration device, having an input end and a plurality of output ends, the input end being connected with the turbine engine; a plurality of plunger pumps, connected with the plurality of output ends, respectively, each of the plurality of plunger pumps being configured to intake low-pressure fluid and discharge high-pressure fluid; and an auxiliary power unit, configured to provide auxiliary power to at least one of the turbine engine, the deceleration device, or each of the plurality of plunger pumps. The auxiliary power unit, the turbine engine, and the deceleration device may be sequentially arranged.

Claims (28)

1. A turbine fracturing apparatus, comprising:

a turbine engine, configured to provide power;

a speed-reduction device, having an input end and a plurality of output ends, wherein the input end is connected with the turbine engine;

a plurality of plunger pumps, connected with the plurality of output ends, respectively, wherein each of the plurality of plunger pumps is configured to intake a low-pressure fluid and discharge a high-pressure fluid; and

an auxiliary power unit, configured to provide auxiliary power to at least one of the turbine engine, the speed-reduction device, or each of the plurality of plunger pumps, wherein the auxiliary power unit, the turbine engine, and the speed-reduction device are sequentially arranged on a transportable platform;

wherein a first plunger pump and a second plunger pump of the plurality of plunger pumps are disposed on two opposite sides of the speed-reduction device and connected to the speed-reduction device via a common rotational driving shaft of the speed-reduction device.

2. The turbine fracturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the speed-reduction device comprises an input shaft and a plurality of output shafts;

the turbine engine is connected with the input end of the speed-reduction device through the input shaft; and

the plurality of output shafts are correspondingly connected with the plurality of output ends of the speed-reduction device.

3. The turbine fracturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary power unit is arranged on one side of the turbine engine and the speed-reduction device is arranged on another side of the turbine engine.

4. The turbine fracturing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein:

the auxiliary power unit comprises an auxiliary motor; and

the turbine engine or the speed-reduction device is provided with a power take-off port to drive the auxiliary motor.

5. The turbine fracturing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein:

the auxiliary power unit further comprises at least one of a lubricating unit, a cooling unit, an air supplying unit, or a ventilating unit; and

the auxiliary motor comprises at least one of a lubricating motor, a cooling motor, an air supplying motor, or a ventilating motor.

6. The turbine fracturing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one clutch, wherein one of the at least one clutch is provided between each of the plurality of plunger pumps and the speed-reduction device.

7. The turbine fracturing apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising at least one connecting structure, wherein each of the plurality of plunger pumps is connected with the speed-reduction device through one of the at least one connecting structure, and the at least one clutch is closer to the speed-reduction device than the at least one connecting structure.

8. The turbine fracturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the transportable platform comprises a long edge and a short edge; and

the turbine engine and the speed-reduction device are sequentially arranged along an extending direction of the long edge of the transportable platform.

9. The turbine fracturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an interval is provided between the turbine engine and the plurality of plunger pumps in a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the transportable platform.

10. A turbine fracturing well site, comprising the turbine fracturing apparatus according to claim 1 .

11. The turbine fracturing well site according to claim 10 , further comprising a manifold skid, wherein:

each of the plurality of plunger pumps comprises a discharge end;

the discharge end of each of the plurality of plunger pumps is configured to discharge the high-pressure fluid; and

the discharge ends of the plurality of plunger pumps are arranged towards the manifold skid.
