  • Patent number: 11015608
    Abstract: An axial flow pump comprises a housing having a bore, a cylindrical permanent magnet within the housing bore, and at least one impeller inside the permanent magnet and adapted to cause fluid to flow within the cylindrical permanent magnet. The permanent magnet is configured to rotate in the bore around its longitudinal axis. A motor lamination stack surrounds the cylindrical permanent magnet. The motor lamination stack is formed substantially as a cuboid, extending in a width and height direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the cylindrical permanent magnet. The diameter of the bore is at least 80% of the dimension of the cuboid in the height direction. A coil of the motor lamination is configured to be energized and to create a rotating magnetic field in the lamination stack to rotate the cylindrical permanent magnet around its longitudinal axis. The coil is disposed to one or both sides of the pump.

  • Patent number: 10947963
    Abstract: An inlet baffle chamber (40) is provided in the port cover (26) of a piston pump. The inlet baffle chamber (26) fluidly connects a compressed piston chamber to an adjacent lower pressure piston chamber while the lower pressure piston chamber is in the suction cycle and separately receiving fluid from an inlet manifold (38) of the port cover (26). Instead of de-compressing high pressure fluid directly to pump's inlet (36) as in prior art pumps, the inlet baffle chamber (40) directs fluid to the next piston that is already in the suction cycle.
