  • Patent number: 6830441
    Abstract: A downhole pump having a barrel with a reciprocating plunger therein has at least one valve. The valve has a cage, a seat and a ball. The cage has a passageway extending between two ends, with the passage including a ball chamber. The ball chamber is between a perforated member and a stop. The ball is located in the ball chamber between the perforated member and the seat, which abuts the stop. The ball is movable along a raceway. The raceway has ribs with channels therebetween. The raceway skews away from a longitudinal axis of the ball chamber from the seat toward to the perforated member. The raceway can be made of a material that is either harder or softer or the same as the hardness of the inner wall of the ball chamber. In another embodiment, the valve has a throat with a stop for receiving a seat. The ball chamber has portions that are hardened. The clearance between the ball and the hardened portions of the ball chamber is at least twice as large as the clearance between the ball and the throat.

  • Patent number: 6722866
    Abstract: A pump system for delivering cryogenic liquids is proposed that is suitable, for example, for refueling motor vehicles with H2. It consists of a container for receiving the cryogenic liquid, in which at least one pump is arranged that is designed as a reciprocating pump with connecting rod actuation and spring recover. Pump cylinder (10) of the reciprocating pump is divided by means of plunger (24, 37) into two chambers (a and b) that are arranged on the pressure side or the induction side. By exerting tensile forces on connecting rod (29), in the pressure stroke the cryogenic liquid that is located in the container is initially trapped in chamber (b). When connecting rod (29) is returned to its starting position by return spring (23), the liquid that is trapped in chamber (b) is then hurled without pressure into chamber (a). In the subsequent pressure stroke, the liquid is finally released via a gap (d) to a pressure housing and from there to the consumer by exerting tensile forces on connecting rod (29).

  • Patent number: 6220833
    Abstract: A reciprocating piston-type pump for a brake system, such as an antilock brake system, includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet connected by a bore containing one or more pistons driven by an eccentric shaft for pumping high pressure brake fluid to one or more vehicle brakes. Each pump piston includes a directional seal for selectively sealing the gap between the piston and the bore permitting high pressure to be developed on a pressure stroke of the piston but permit fluid to pass by the seal during an intake or return stroke. The directional seal can have a cup shape to achieve these functions. Accordingly, the need for a one-way inlet check valve inside the piston is eliminated. The overall pump design can therefore be reduced in size and associated manufacturing costs are reduced.
