Title: Flapper check valve to prevent backflow when a pump is deactivated
Inventor: LEMBCKE JEFFREY JOHN
IPC: E21B34/08
Filed: 2006-10-31
Abstract: The check valve is intended to provide backflow protection when electrical submersible pumps (ESP) or similar are removed for repair or maintenance. The check valve comprises primarily flapper element <B>150</B> and sliding tube <B>155.</B> When the pump is inoperative spring <B>130</B> moves the tube down, allowing the flapper to close of the fluid flow (Fig. 5) When the pump is operating fluid pressure against piston surfaces <B>120</B> forces the tube upwards against the spring. When the force is sufficient the tube pushes the flapper out of the flow path and holds it against the outside housing (Fig. 4). The piston elements are hinged to allow them to provide high resistance at low flow but present a minimal blockage at high flow. The valve should experience less wear then ball and seat type check valves and allow a wider flow path.
