Abstract
The present invention discloses a hydraulic fracturing system for driving a plunger pump with a turbine engine, including a fracturing equipment, a high-low pressure manifold, a blending equipment and a sand-mixing equipment; a turbine engine is used as the power source of the fracturing equipment, the turbine engine is fueled by natural gas or diesel and drives the plunger pump to solve the current problems of diesel drive and electric motor drive. The fuel supply of a turbine engine with a dual-fuel system is diverse and not limited, especially when natural gas is used as the fuel, it will save more cost. The supply of natural gas in the whole hydraulic fracturing system is diversified, better meeting the demands of more customers. The entire fracturing equipment is disposed in a straight line along the transmission direction of power, better lowering the overall center of gravity of the fracturing equipment, and increasing the stability and safety of the fracturing equipment both in operation and transportation.
