Abstract

See full text

A jet pump stabilizer is disclosed and claimed. The stabilizer includes a clamp body that is affixed about the riser pipe. Two U-clamps are connected to the clamp body, each U-clamp positioned about a jet pump mixer section. A wedge assembly is positioned between the clamp body and each mixer pipe, cooperating with the clamp body and U-clamps to laterally restrain the mixer sections. A clamp ring is positioned about each mixer section and retained in place by the U-clamps, wedge assemblies, and clamp body. A sealing ring is moveably connected to the clamp ring such that it is biased toward engagement with the jet pump diffuser. Seals provided on the stabilizer engage the jet pump assembly above and below the slip joint, preventing vibration-inducing leakage through the slip joint.
