    Mud Pump Principle

    Uploaded by

    Mahmoud Morsi
    Rotational power from an engine turns a crankshaft that converts it into a reciprocating motion of pistons in mud pump liners. As the pistons move back and forth, intake valves open to draw drilling mud into the cylinders when retracting and exhaust valves open to force the mud out under pressure when extending. Key parts to inspect include the crankshaft main bearing, pinion bearing, and bull gear which are involved in the power transmission from the engine to the pistons.

    Mud Pumps:

    • What is the working principle of a drilling mud pump?


    - Rotational power is supplied to the mud pump through an external power source like a
    diesel engine or electric motor. The power end of the mud pump converts the rotational
    energy through a crankshaft to a reciprocating motion of pistons.
    - The pistons move back and forth in mud pump liners, exerting a force on the cylinder
    chamber. During the retraction of the piston, valves open to allow the fluid to be drawn
    into the cylinder. Once the piston has fully retracted, it is pushed back into the cylinder.
    - At this time the intake valves are closed and the exhaust valves open, allowing the piston
    to force the fluid out of the cylinder under pressure. Once the piston reaches its maximum
    depth into the cylinder, the exhaust valves close and the process repeats.
