Abstract: A compact 180° opposed piston pump/compressor minimizes axial spacing between its pistons on the drive shaft and thereby reduces the shaking couple and noise from reciprocation. Each piston has its own eccentric element press-fit into the connecting rods so as not to occupy space between the pistons. The shaking couple can be further reduced for pistons of different masses by selecting the mass of the cup retainers to compensate for the difference in overall piston masses. The pump also includes an improved cylinder sealing arrangement having a circumferential groove in an angled surface at the end of the cylinder. The pump also has a special cover and seal for closing the open neck of the pump crankcase and an improved multi-lobed valve stop. The pump further uses tubular transfer members for transferring intake and/or exhaust air into the crankcase and/or between valve heads.

Machining of the deck is also simplified by providing the opening therethrough.

When a sound wave (that is created as the suction valve or the discharge valve hits the valve plate) escapes to a discharge valve through a first and second discharge chambers, sound transmission loss occurs due to boundary interference and as a result, the sound wave is reduced. By this method, noise can be reduced in operating the compressor.

Abstract: An inlet port 15 is divided into a plurality of holes 15a, 15b, 15c, 15 by ribs 61a, 61b, 61c. For example, when liquid refrigerant is compressed within a compression chamber, the inlet valve 21 receives excessive load which is about to bend the inlet valve 21 largely toward the suction chamber side. However, the inlet valve 21 is supported by the ribs 61a, 61b, 61c, and therefore the inlet valve 21 is hardly bent, but the inlet port 21 is positively closed.

Abstract: A high-pressure piston pump with a plurality of pump elements is connected on the intake side to a pump that pumps fuel at low pressure in a regulated quantity. Each pump element is preceded on the intake side by a first and a second check valve in series. The first check valve opens counter to spring force in the intake phase of the pump element and closes in the pumping phase. The second check valve opens counter to spring force and closes, reinforced by spring force, at pressures of the fuel supplied by the pump that are higher than the negative pressure generated in a cylinder chamber of the pump element. The second check valve takes on the metering of the fuel supplied to the pump element; the first check valve blocks off the cylinder chamber counter to the check valve in the pumping phase, whereby the piston pump serves to supply fuel at high pressure in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, especially in a common rail injection system.

Abstract: A reciprocating piston machine (1) with at least one inlet and/or outlet valve that has a strip, tongue or lamella shaped closing member (5). The opening movements (8) of the closing member (5) are limited through a stroke restrictor (6) assigned to each valve. The stroke restrictor (6) has or defines at least one ventilation hole (8) inside the contact area of the closing member (5). This ventilation hole (8) prevents the formation of air cushions (7) between the closing member (5) and the corresponding stroke restrictor (6) effectively. In the absence of the ventilation hole (8), the air cushion (7) can limit the opening movements of the closing member (5) prematurely, which in turn could lead to the generation of additional noise.

Abstract: In its unstressed state, a suction valve is spaced from its valve seat such that the suction valve must be deformed against its inherent spring force in order to achieve seating. The spring force due to deformation provides an opening bias to the suction valve such that it opens earlier in the suction stroke and offsets the effects of adhesion due to the presence of oil between the seating surface and the valve.

Abstract: An improved electrical pump is first provided for use in a wellbore. The pump comprises a stator and a stator housing, and an armature and an armature housing. The stator housing and the armature housing define concentrically nested tubular bodies. The armature housing is configured to permit production fluids to flow therethrough. In one aspect, the stator and armature are assembled in connectible and interchangeable sections called “modules” that can be attached in series. In one aspect, the electrical operation of coils within the stator is protected from individual coil short-circuiting or failure by wiring them in parallel, rather than in series. In addition, each module may be wired in parallel. In this way, a failure of one stator module will not result in the failure of another stator module. In an embodiment of the present invention, the valves of the pump are capable of being retrieved by a wireline, without pulling the entire production string.

Due to provision of the two, viz., first and second intake openings, opening movement of the reed valve element is carried out along with a twisting motion of the same.

Abstract: A suction port as a fluid port of a piston type compressor is contoured with reference to a middle line passing through a middle point of a maximum length of the suction port in the longitudinal direction of the suction valve and perpendicularly crossing a reference line extending in the longitudinal direction. The middle line divides the suction port into a first section positioned on the proximal end side and a second section positioned on the distal end side. An area of the second section is greater than an area of the first section. A width increasing region is disposed in which the width of the suction port becomes gradually greater from the proximal end side to the distal end side, and the length of the width increasing region occupies a major part of the maximum length of the suction port.

Abstract: In the check valve having a valve seat member and the valve member, the valve seat member is provided with first and second conical seats. The second conical seat is positioned upstream the first conical seat. An angle of the second conical seat to an axis of the valve member is more acute than that of the first conical seat. Since the check valve has the second conical seat, contact pressure applied to the first conical seat is uniformly dispersed and, thus, the first conical seat is less worn out. Further, the second conical seat prevents the valve member from cutting into and sticking to the valve seat member, even if the wear has been progressed. Accordingly, an operation of the check valve is stable for a longer period of time.

Abstract: To enable economical production of a piston for a piston pump, the piston is made from a tubular deformed part and a closure plug, which is press-fitted with a protrusion into the deformed part. The piston has the advantage that the piston can be made without metal cutting in the form of deformed parts, for instance by extrusion, and hence can be produced quickly and economically.

A distal end portion of a suction valve which can open and close the suction port has a contour line including a distal end forming line extending generally parallel to a distal end line of the suction port, and side lines. A gap between the distal end line of the suction port and the distal end forming line of the suction valve is substantially constant, and a gap between the distal end forming line and the circle of the cylinder bore is substantially constant. The ease of the inflow of a gas when the gas is sucked from the suction port to the cylinder bore is improved.

A rotation radius of the valve spring of a conical type is formed to be gradually reduced or increased so that impacts of a part to other parts during the compression can be prevented. Accordingly, when the valve spring is compressed in accordance with the compression and discharge strokes of the piston, the impacting noise caused by the impacts of the respective parts in the valve spring can be prevented previously.

Abstract: A fixed-nozzle dispenser pump suitable for large doses has a downwardly-directed nozzle tip (32) and an outlet valve arrangement (4) in a nozzle (3). A blocking element, such as a ball (41), of the outlet valve arrangement (4) is biased back along a close-fitting tubular draw path (43) in the valve after dispensing, so as to draw product back out of the nozzle tip and prevent dripping. A further feature is a subdivision of the nozzle tip and a flexible flap valve (35) blocking a resulting passage segment in the nozzle. This facilitates clearance of another nozzle passage (36) by the reverse suction. A further feature is a membrane (24) across the front of the piston plunger, advanceable relative to a piston seal (231) by pressure of a plunger head (21). This helps accomomodate the returned fluid and enables a spot-dosing action.
