Abstract

An oil well pump system includes a programmable control module configured to be coupled to a fuel injector coupled to a prime mover engine. The programmable control module is configured to cause the fuel injector and engine to operate in a 350-500 RPM range. A generator is configured to be coupled to the engine, the generator is configured to operate in a 350-500 RPM range and configured to be coupled to the programmable control module and the fuel injector and configured to supply sufficient power to operate the programmable control module and the fuel injector.

Claims (29)

1 . An oil well pump system comprising:

a programmable control module configured to be coupled to a fuel injector coupled to a prime mover engine, the programmable control module configured to cause the fuel injector and prime mover engine to operate in a 350-500 RPM range; and

a generator configured to be coupled to the prime mover engine, the generator configured to operate in a 350-500 RPM range and configured to be coupled to the programmable control module and the fuel injector and configured to supply sufficient power to operate the programmable control module and the fuel injector.

2 . The oil well pump system of claim 1 , wherein the prime mover engine is a natural gas engine.

3 . The oil well pump system of claim 1 , wherein the generator is configured to be coupled to a stub shaft coupled to the prime mover engine.

4 . The oil well pump system of claim 1 , wherein the generator comprises a planetary gear system.

5 . The oil well pump system of claim 1 , wherein the generator comprises a stator being sized between 10 inches and 12 inches.

6 . The oil well pump system of claim 1 , wherein the generator comprises an enclosure meeting NEMA 4x requirements.

7 . The oil well pump system of claim 1 , wherein the generator generates 3 phase a/c current.

8 . The oil well pump system of claim 1 , wherein the generator generates a minimum of 400 watts and 30 volts at 350 rpm.

9 . The oil well pump system of claim 1 , wherein the generator operates between temperatures of −40° to +50° C.

10 . The oil well pump system of claim 1 , wherein the generator is configured to operate as a starter motor for the prime mover engine.

11 . A programmable control module operational system comprising:

a connection configured to be coupled to a fuel injector coupled to a prime mover engine configured to operate in a 350-500 RPM range;

a connection configured to be coupled to an ignition element of the prime mover engine;

instructions stored on the programmable control module that when executed by the programmable control module cause the programmable control module to control fuel ratios using the fuel injector and ignition timing using the ignition element to cause the prime mover engine to operate in a 350-500 RPM range; and

wherein the programmable control module comprises a connection configured to be coupled to a generator configured to be coupled to the prime mover engine, the generator configured to operate between temperatures of −40° to +50° C.

12 . The programmable control module operational system of claim 11 , wherein the programmable control module comprises a connection configured to be coupled to a generator configured to be coupled to the prime mover engine, the generator configured to operate in a 350-500 RPM range and configured to supply sufficient power to operate the programmable control module and the fuel injector.

13 . The programmable control module operational system of claim 11 , wherein the prime mover engine is a natural gas engine.

14 . The programmable control module operational system of claim 11 , wherein the programmable control module comprises a connection configured to be coupled to a generator configured to be coupled to the prime mover engine, the generator configured to generate a minimum of 400 watts and 30 volts at 350 rpm.

15 . A programmable control module operational system comprising:

a connection configured to be coupled to a fuel injector coupled to a prime mover engine configured to operate in a 350-500 RPM range;

a connection configured to be coupled to an ignition element of the prime mover engine;

instructions stored on the programmable control module that when executed by the programmable control module cause the programmable control module to control fuel ratios using the fuel injector and ignition timing using the ignition element to cause the prime mover engine to operate in a 350-500 RPM range; and

wherein the programmable control module comprises a connection configured to be coupled to a generator configured to be coupled to the prime mover engine, the generator configured to generate a minimum of 400 watts and 30 volts at 350 rpm.

16 . The programmable control module operational system of claim 15 , wherein the programmable control module comprises a connection configured to be coupled to a generator configured to be coupled to the prime mover engine, the generator configured to operate in a 350-500 RPM range and configured to supply sufficient power to operate the programmable control module and the fuel injector.

17 . The programmable control module operational system of claim 15 , wherein the prime mover engine is a natural gas engine.

18 . The programmable control module operational system of claim 15 , wherein the programmable control module comprises a connection configured to be coupled to a generator configured to be coupled to the prime mover engine, the generator configured to operate between temperatures of −40° to +50° C.

19 . The programmable control module operational system of claim 15 , wherein the programmable control module comprises a connection configured to be coupled to a generator configured to be coupled to the prime mover engine, the generator configured to generate a minimum of 400 watts and 30 volts at 350 rpm.
