Abstract: Systems and methods for electronic pressure control of pumps in a dual pump system. The system may include a controller, a primary pump operated by the controller to maintain a system pressure in a flow path at a first pressure setpoint; a pressure transducer reading the system pressure and providing the system pressure to the controller; and a secondary pump operated by the controller to maintain the system pressure at a second pressure setpoint, the second pressure setpoint being less that the first pressure setpoint.

Abstract: A fluid flow regulator includes a valve assembly defining a fluid passage. The fluid passage includes a first port, a second port, a sensing orifice disposed between the first and second ports, a first orifice disposed between the first port and the sensing orifice and a second orifice disposed between the sensing orifice and the second port. A first flow area of the first flow orifice varies in response to differential pressure across the sensing orifice as fluid flows through the fluid passage in a first direction from the first port to the second port. The first flow area is fixed as fluid flows through the fluid passage in an opposite second direction. A second flow area of the second orifice is fixed as fluid flows through the fluid passage in the first direction and varies as fluid flows through the fluid passage in the second direction.
