Title: Pressure compensated mechanical disconnect
Inventor: HILL STEPHEN D
IPC: E21B17/06
Filed: 2001-11-15
Abstract: A pressure compensated mechanical disconnect for release of a tool downhole is constructed with an upper portion (24) connected to a lower portion (26) by a shear member (50). During use, when a predetermined tensile load is applied to the upper portion (24) via tubing (14, fig 1), the shear load of the shear member (50) is exceeded. A mandrel (38) then moves upwards relative to a housing (44). Expanded regions (62) move from a raised surface (66) to a radially inward position in an annular recess (68) of mandrel (38). Tubing (14, fig 1), upper portion (24), mandrel (38) are thus released, while the housing (44), a lower sub-portion (42) and tool (16, fig 1) remain downhole. The mechanical disconnect is pressure compensated so that fluid flow in the device does not shear the shear member (50) and a reduced tensile load is required for disconnection. Pressure compensation is achieved by creating a number of pressure areas at various seal points defined by seals (70, 72, 74, 76), which counteract axial forces applied to upper portion (24) and lower portion (26).

Title: Extended cycle reciprocating gas expander
Inventor: MA THOMAS TSOI HEI
IPC: F04B39/06
Filed: 2003-04-01
Abstract: A reciprocating gas expander 10,12 operates according to an extended cycle of four, six or more strokes, wherein the first two strokes are sequential expansion and exhaust strokes using a high pressure gas 30 as working fluid to produce power, and the remaining strokes are pairs of sequential filling and emptying strokes using ambient air as heat transfer fluid for transferring heat from outside the gas expander to inside the gas expander. The gas expander also contains a heat regenerator 14 for absorbing heat from the heat transfer fluid and releasing heat to the expanding gas. The invention achieves an expansion stroke which is near- isothermal and has significant advantages over the conventional gas expander by virtue of fewer components, smaller size, lighter weight, lower operating cost and higher efficiency.
