Abstract: The disclosure addresses a relief valve suitable for use in systems for delivering relatively viscous fluids. The described relief valve includes a housing and a valve mechanism moveable relative to an opening into the housing to allow or prevent flow from a flow path adjacent the relief valve into and through the housing. The relief valve is configured to minimize, and in many examples, essentially eliminate, a cavity between the housing opening and the adjacent flow path. Elimination of this cavity offers significant advantages as it minimizes or eliminates a location for pumped materials to accumulate and/or cure, which can lead to impairment or disabling of the relief valve operation.

Abstract: A fluid heater system for a pumping system comprises a core, a heating element and a sleeve. The core comprises a body made of thermally conductive material, and a plurality of channels formed on an outer periphery of the body. The heating element is disposed within the core. The sleeve surrounds the core adjacent the plurality of channels. The sleeve is formed of a material having a higher strength than the thermally conductive material of the core. In another embodiment, the plurality of channels is chamfered to form a portion of a common outlet plenum and the core includes a temperature sensor bore located proximate the common outlet plenum.

Abstract: A dual pump fluid proportioner having an adjustable motor position comprises a mounting plate, first and second positive displacement pumps, first and second tie rods, a pump yoke and a motor. The first and second tie rods fixedly connect the first and second pumps to the mounting plate. The first and second pumps each have a pump shaft. The pump yoke slidably couples to the first and second tie rods and the pump shafts. The motor adjustably couples to the mounting plate and includes a drive shaft. The drive shaft extends from the motor, through the mounting plate to adjustably couple to the yoke.
