A system and method for operating a fleet of pumps for a turbine driven fracturing pump system used in hydraulic fracturing is disclosed. A method of operating a fleet of pumps associated with a hydraulic fracturing system includes receiving a demand Hydraulic Horse Power (HHP) signal. The demand HHP signal may include the Horse Power (HP) required for the hydraulic fracturing system to operate and may include consideration for frictional and other losses. The method further includes operating all available pump units at a percentage of rating below Maximum Continuous Power (MCP) level, based on the demand HHP signal. Furthermore, the method may include receiving a signal for loss of power from one or more pump units. The method further includes operating one or more units at MCP level and operating one or more units at Maximum Intermittent Power (MIP) level to meet the demand HHP signal.

Methods and systems for operating a fleet of pumps

A pump system may include a pump, a driveshaft, driving equipment, and a vibration dampening assembly configured to reduce pump-imposed high frequency/low amplitude and low frequency/high amplitude torsional vibrations. The pump may have an input shaft connected to the driveshaft. The driving equipment may include an output shaft having an output flange connected to the driveshaft. The driving equipment may be configured to rotate the driveshaft to rotate the input shaft of the pump therewith. The vibration dampening assembly may include one or more flywheels operably connected to the input shaft and configured to rotate therewith.

Systems and method for use of single mass flywheel alongside torsional vibration damper assembly for single acting reciprocating pump

An embodiment of a pumping unit includes a gas turbine engine, an enclosure housing the engine, an exhaust assembly connected to the engine, an air intake duct connected to the engine, and an air treatment system connected to the air intake duct. The air treatment system including one or more inlet pre-cleaners configured to eject debris. Each of the inlet pre-cleaners having a cylindrical tubular portion configured to channel air toward the air intake duct. In addition, the pumping unit includes a gearbox operatively coupled to the engine and a drive shaft having a first end operatively coupled to the gearbox. Further, the pumping unit includes a pump comprising an input shaft operatively coupled to a second end of the drive shaft, wherein the engine, the gearbox, the drive shaft, and the pump are disposed along a longitudinal axis of the pumping unit.

Systems and methods for hydraulic fracturing

A system and method for operating a fleet of pumps for a turbine driven fracturing pump system used in hydraulic fracturing is disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of operating a fleet of pumps associated with a hydraulic fracturing system includes receiving a demand Hydraulic Horse Power (HHP) signal. The demand HHP signal may include the Horse Power (HP) required for the hydraulic fracturing system to operate and may include consideration for frictional and other losses. The method further includes operating all available pump units at a percentage of rating below Maximum Continuous Power (MCP) level, based at least in part on the demand HHP signal. Furthermore, the method may include receiving a signal for loss of power from one or more pump units. The method further includes operating one or more units at MCP level and operating one or more units at Maximum Intermittent Power (MIP) level to meet the demand HHP signal.
