System and method for a frac system
A system and method for a frac pump. The system includes a turbine. The turbine can be 100% powered by natural gas or other fuels. The turbine, which can have an OEM controller, drives a frac pump. The frac pump is used for fracturing. The system has a controller which controls the system, including the OEM controller. The system has an air filtration system to treat the air entering the turbine. The air filtration system can include a system with no moving parts and no filters. The system fits within a trailer so it can be transported to remote locations. The system is self-sufficient.
1. A system for a frac pump, said system comprising:
a turbine housing coupled to a gear box;
wherein said gear box is coupled to a frac pump;
a controller to control said system;
an air filtration system to treat the air entering the turbine housing;
wherein said turbine housing is used to power said frac pump;
wherein said turbine housing comprises a turbine controller, and wherein said controller controls said turbine controller;
wherein said turbine housing comprises a first fan and a turbine, wherein said first fan is within a compressor section of said turbine housing, and wherein said turbine is in an output section of said turbine housing, and wherein said first fan powers said turbine, and wherein said turbine is coupled to an output shaft, and wherein said output shaft powers said frac pump.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein said system is located on a single trailer.
3. The system of claim 2 wherein said gear box is coupled to said trailer via a mount, and wherein said mount comprises an elastomer.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein said system requires no external electrical power.
5. The system of claim 1 further comprising an air filtration system, wherein said air filtration system comprises a filtration tube which comprises at least one vane.
6. The system of claim 5 wherein said air filtration system has a collector cup to collect filtered particles.
7. The system of claim 5 comprising four air filtration systems.
8. The system of claim 5 wherein said filtration tube is stationary, and wherein said air filtration system comprises no filter.
9. The system of claim 1 further comprising a drive shaft between said gear box and said pump.
10. The system of claim 9 wherein said drive shaft comprises at least one pin that sheers with a pre-determined torque range.
11. The system of claim 9 wherein said drive shaft is a floating drive shaft.
12. The system of claim 1 wherein said turbine is powered by natural gas.
13. The system of claim 1 wherein said pump comprises a multi-plunger pump.
14. The system of claim 1 comprising a plurality of pumps.
15. The system of claim 1 further comprising an exhaust system coupled to said turbine housing.
16. The system of claim 15 wherein said exhaust system comprises an exhaust pipe, and wherein said exhaust pipe comprises a non-uniform diameter.
17. The system of claim 1 wherein said first fan and said turbine are not mechanically coupled.
