Abstract
An integrated fluid handling apparatusincludes a power take off devicehaving a rotating power take off mechanism, a hydraulic pumphaving a rotating fluid pump mechanism, a flow torque tube, and an electric motor/generatorhaving a rotating electric power conversion mechanism. A rotational power transfer system includes connector devicesandthat are drivingly connected to and that drivingly connect the mechanismsandin one mode of operation. The electric motor/generatorincludes heat exchange fluid flow passages that establish a fluid flow path to the inlet of the pump. The mechanismsand, and the connector devicesandare assembled and used as a whole within a housing, without externally exposed mechanical drive connections and without externally exposed fluid connections, between such mechanisms and devices.
