Abstract

The present disclosure provides a fracturing device driven by a variable-frequency adjustable-speed integrated machine (VFASIM), including the VFASIM and a plunger pump. The VFASIM includes a driving device for providing a driving force and an inverting device integrally installed on the driving device. The inverting device supplies power to the driving device. The plunger pump is integrally installed together with the VFASIM, the plunger pump is mechanically connected to the driving device of the VFASIM and driven by the driving device. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to achieve an overall layout with a high degree of integration. The present disclosure also provides a well site layout including a plurality of fracturing devices described above.

Claims (41)
