Sonic pump for pumping wells and the like employing dual transmission lines
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6893428
A sonic pump is claimed for pumping fluid from wells and the like. Sonic energy generated by means of orbiting mass oscillators is transferred to a pair of elastic string members which function as transmission lines, one of these string members being tubular and the other being in the form of a rod mounted within the tubular member and being coextensive therewith. The two string members are tied together at appropriate points and acoustically designed and excited by the sonic energy so that they vibrate in unison in a longitudinal resonant standing wave mode of vibration with lateral vibrational modes being effectively minimized. A valve system is installed in the string member which effectively displaces the fluid in the well in response to the vibratory energy such that the fluid is passed into the interior of the tubing string and then pumped up this string to the surface.
