In addition, in the valve seat plate 15, a cavity 22 or a groove 37 is formed to define a low-pressure space 36 communicating with the plurality of suction holes 24, 25, thereby reducing the suction resistance.

Abstract: A gerotor pump is described for use with non-compressible fluids such as automotive coolant or hydraulic oil. The pump includes three separate pump outlet ports, a bypass return passage, find an integral four position spool valve. Increasing back pressure from a downstream load is sensed be the spool valve which moves accordingly to restrict the fluid supplied. In the first position a full flow fluid is supplied to the load from all three ports. In the second position one port is vented to the bypass and the flow from the other two ports is directed to the load. In the third position two ports vent to bypass, and one ports drives the load. In the fourth position all ports vent to bypass. In each case flow vented to bypass is not first compressed, permitting a smaller motor to be used.

Abstract: A pump having a three-way valve has a motor for generating a turning effect by an electric power applied thereto. The pump pressurizes a fluid by using an impeller. The three-way valve is installed to the inlet side of the pump. A magnetic plate and ball swing between the first inlet and second inlet by means of load switches as many as a predetermined angle. The pump and three-way valve are integrally formed to require no separate piping between the three-way valve and pump. Thus, the manufacturing processing of the boiler is reduced while enhancing productivity. An installation space is shrunken to decrease the external dimensions of a product such as boilers.
