Abstract
Tests of hydropneumatic shock absorbers of deep-well pumps in oil fields showed that they improve the efficiency of the installations by their design is very complicated. Mechanically acting absorbers of dynamic forces are simpler in design. Rubber shock absorbers differ advantageously from spring absorbers in that considerable oscillation-damping forces of any amplitude act in them. The design of a shock absorber is described which is situated under the balance arm of a pumping jack. A prototype of the shock absorber, in which the elastic elements were cylinders made of rubber was tested in a test borehole. Dynamographic recordings made in this borehole in operation with and without shock absorber show that the shock absorber reduces the maximum load on the rods and the double amplitude of load change. Calculations show that when the described shock absorber is used the reduced load is 11-18% smaller. This may considerably reduce the number of breakages of deepwell pump rods.
