Duct having oscillatory side wall

Sprouse, Kenneth M.

Title: Duct having oscillatory side wall

Patent · Tue Apr 03 00:00:00 EDT 2018

OSTI ID:1433254

Sprouse, Kenneth M.

A pump system includes a particulate consolidator pump that has a pump outlet. A duct is coupled to the pump outlet. The duct has a wall that is coupled with an oscillator. The oscillator is operable to oscillate the wall at a controlled frequency. The controlled frequency is selected with respect to breaking static bridging of particulate in the duct due, at least in part, to consolidation of the particulate from a downstream check valve.
