 PROTECTOR.
Description.
 The seal section installed above the
motor with coupling and according the
size of the motor installed one or two seal
sections.
 The seal section serves as a vital link in
the assembly. If it is not properly applied,
it can reduce the running life of the
system.

 2) Function of Protector:

1) Seal between the motor and the

well fluid.

2) Equalizes the pressure between

the annulus and the ESP motor.

3) As expansion tank of motor oil

during operation.

 2) Function of Protector:

4) To carry out the load of the

string to able the motor operate
to running .

5) Transfers the torque generated

by the motor section to the
intake and subsequently to the
pump.

 3.1) Labyrinth type.

 The labyrinth design uses the difference

in specific gravity of the well fluid and
the motor oil to keep them separate.
 The labyrinth chamber is isolated from
the shaft rotation by the shaft tube so
that no mixing will occur by the shaft
rotation.
 Labyrinth type will not work in horizontal
or highly deviated wells.

 3.2) positive seal" or "bag“.

 The chamber of protector (bag)

physically separate the two fluids.
 This type used in well is highly
deviated.
 The bag is made of a high
temperature / high performance
rubber which can withstand the
down hole environments typically.

 3.2) positive seal" or "bag“.

 The bag keeps the well fluid on the

outside and the clean motor oil on
the inside.
 When the motor oil expands or
contracts, the bag simply flexes to
accommodate the necessary volume
change.
 If we using Chemicals in the well to
be ensure that the rubber will not be
damaged.

during running motor.
 Fig (2) The bag is shrinked
during stop motor.
 The bag is free to change
volume as necessary and
keep the two fluid separated
at all time. Fig (2) Fig (1)

 3) Types of Protector.

 Series Connection:
1) Installed for Redundancy and Safety.
2) For well fluid to enter the lower
chamber, it must completely displace
all the oil in the upper chamber first.
3) Additional Expansion Capacity.
