Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward systems and methods of transferring fluid using devices that have a rotatable housing (10) . One embodiment of the invention attaches a fluid-drive element (370,350) to a rotatable housing (10) to drive fluid into a conduit (390,381) for transfer.
In another embodiment, a pitot tube (310) is attached to the rotatable housing (10) , the motion of the housing (10) driving fluid into the conduit for transfer. Other embodiments of the invention may utilize a pressure difference to drive fluid through a conduit (360,365) . Embodiments of the invention may also utilize baffles (340) to alter circulation of fluid that may be induced by the motion of the rotating housing (10) , to promote fluid transfer through a conduit. Some of the aforementioned embodiments may be especially useful in transporting fluid in a liquid ring pump with a rotatable housing.
