Hydraulic Actuation of a Downhole Tool Assembly

A downhole tool assembly is configured for repeated and selective hydraulic actuation and deactuation. A piston assembly is configured to reciprocate axially in a downhole tool body. The piston assembly reciprocates between a first axial position and second and third axial positions that axially oppose the first position. The downhole tool is actuated when the piston assembly is in the third axial position and deactuated when the piston assembly is in either of the first or second axial positions. A spring member biases the piston assembly towards the first axial position while drilling fluid pressure in the tool body urges the piston assembly towards the second and third axial positions. Downhole tool actuation and deactuation may be controlled from the surface, for example, via cycling the drilling fluid flow rate.

Process for converting biogas to a pipeline grade renewable natural gas

InactiveUS20080134754A1Minimize biogas pressureMinimize water flowGas treatmentSamplingExtreme weatherWater flow
A process purifies raw biogas created from a renewable source into pipeline grade natural gas and / or D.O.T. specification, or other predetermined specification, gas. The automated scrubbing processed employed and the particular attributes of the system allow the system to function under extreme weather conditions by employing specific tools to control the temperature of the scrubbing water to allow for efficient and effective removal of the carbon dioxide gas. The system also employs specific measures to use recycled scrubbing water, thus eliminating the need for excessive water generally needed to economically employ this type of scrubbing process. The recycled water is continuously de-carbonated to allow the recycled water stream to effectively scrub the raw biogas. Treated gas from the process is then dried, and compressed for introduction into storage tanks or a natural gas pipeline delivery system.

Aircraft thermal management system with reduced exhaust re-ingestion

A thermal management system includes a cooling duct system that locates a ram air intake and an exhaust through a first aircraft surface above a second aircraft surface which locates a fan intake. During ground operations, an anti-re-ingestion door is open and a ram air door is closed such that the fan system may draw relatively cooler air from below the aircraft and exhaust the heated air above the aircraft to minimize re-ingestion of the heated exhaust. During flight operations, the anti-re-ingestion door is closed and the ram air door is open such that ram airflow communicates through the fan system prior to communication through the heat exchanger. Both the anti-re-ingestion door and the ram air door may also be operated in flight.

Apparatus for separating particles from a flowing medium

A separating apparatus which enables particles to be separated from a flowing medium by a preliminary separator which avoids the undesirably high pressure losses due to the flow resistance of known preliminary separators. The separating apparatus has a housing with an inlet and an outlet, in which a flow of air at the inlet end is caused to rotate by an inlet guide device, and is redirected again at the outlet end by an outlet guide device into a linear flow. The pressure recovery is achieved by a defined curvature and arrangement of the guide elements. The guide element curvature has an inlet contour, a retarding contour and a stabilizing contour. Preliminary separators of this type are used primarily in the air intake tracts of internal combustion engines exposed to heavy contamination, such as engines in farm machinery or construction machinery.
