Protectors

A protector is designed to protect the internal cavity of the electric motor from the ingress of reservoir fluid, to compensate for changes in oil volume, to transfer torque from the motor shaft to the input module shaft.

Individual protector designs can also transmit torque to the ESP shaft (double-sided unit).
Protectors can be either of conventional (PA) or modular (MPA) design.
They may differ in the number of diaphragms, labyrinths, bearings, end seals.
They can be of conventional purpose and of increased reliability (up to 4 diaphragms and three end seals).

Purpose

PA type protectors are designed to transfer torque from the electric motor to the pump, protect submersible oil-filled electric motors from penetration of reservoir fluid into their internal cavity, compensate for oil leakage and thermal changes in its volume during operation of the electric motor. PA type protectors are designed for submersible electric motors with a housing diameter of 81, 95, 100, 103, 117 and 130 mm, and other motors with the corresponding overall dimensions, connection dimensions and technical characteristics, used as a drive for centrifugal pumps of unsupported design for oil production. It is allowed to use them with pumps having axial shaft supports. PA type protectors can also be of modular design (MPA), and of a version designed for double-sided motors (2PA, 2MPA), for the motor of the unit injecting liquid into the below-packer space (5PA), for telemetry systems, if differential pressure compensation is necessary (TPA).

The following protectors can be supplied:

  • Sizes – 69, 81, 86, 90, 92, 103, 114
  • Temperature resistance – basic, heat-resistant (T) or extra heat-resistant (TT) temperature versions
  • Corrosion resistance: conventional or corrosion-resistant design The corrosion-resistant version
    can be made entirely of stainless steel or with a Monel-type coating
  • Design – conventional or for double-sided units (installed from the bottom of the motor)
  • Direction of the shaft operating rotation – right (clockwise) or left (counterclockwise)
  • Type of spline shaft design straight spline or involute spline connection
  • Transmitted shaft power – T9...T14 yield strength groups
  • Material of the shaft – stainless steel or alloy of K-monel type
  • Connection with ESP motor: with six-, eight- and ten-point design of
    studs (thread pitch may vary from the customer's request)
  • Connection with inlet (pump) module – with six-,
    eight- and ten-point
    design of studs (thread pitch may vary from the customer's request).
  • Design of valves – valve and valveless (B) type
  • Design of diaphragm – with diaphragms, – without a diaphragm
  • Design of labyrinths – with labyrinths, – without labyrinths
  • At the customer's request, an
    inlet module can be integrated into the protector head
