  • Publication number: 20200263709
    Abstract: A reset relief valve with dampening reservoir having a piston disposed in fluid flow-blocking relationship between an inlet port and the outlet port of the body and a second position at which the piston is removed from the fluid flow-blocking position, the piston partially defines an enclosed first chamber and at least one flow passageway extending between the chamber and a reservoir chamber mounted on the body for controlled flow of hydraulic fluid to dampen the movement of the piston upon activation, The reservoir has a pressure monitor to measure fluid pressure in the system, a sight glass and index to view and measure the hydraulic fluid and a tubular flow passageway.

  • Publication number: 20150132152
    Abstract: A pump system for movement of fluids having a reciprocating piston power pump having at least three reciprocating pistons operable to displace fluid from a housing having a pumping chamber, an integrally forged crankshaft operably connected to the pistons, at least one sensor operable to sense ambient conditions on the pump, and a computer control for processing data from the sensor to regulate the operation of the pump in response to the data. The system also utilizes protective infused treatments for lubricity and enhanced lubrication sprayers and a reset relief valve and pressure sensors operably connected to the computer system for control and monitoring of the pump.

  • Publication number: 20130245840
    Abstract: A reset relief valve with a body having an inlet port, an outlet port, and piston defining an enclosed chamber, where the piston is disposed in the body and moveable between a first position at which the piston is disposed in fluid flow-blocking relationship between the inlet port and the outlet port of the body and a second position at which the piston is removed from that position, an electrically motivated worm drive operably connected to the piston. for controlled smooth movement of the piston responsive to pressure readings in the system. A preferred embodiment includes data acquisition software for monitoring data and storing pressure and other data to control the operation of the valve and a handheld controller.

  • Patent number: 7938139
    Abstract: A reset relief valve with a body having an inlet port, an outlet port, and an interior wall partially defining an enclosed chamber, a piston disposed in the body and moveable between a first position at which the piston is disposed in fluid flow-blocking relationship between the inlet port and the outlet port of the body and a second position at which the piston is removed from that position, a piston having a head with opposed end surfaces one of which defines a portion of the enclosed chamber and at least one fluid flow passageway extending through the head and providing fluid communication between the enclosed chamber in the body, and a second chamber above a moveable disc in the piston and a pressure sensor in fluid communication with the fluid in the chambers. A preferred embodiment includes data acquisition software for monitoring data and storing pressure and other data to control the operation of the valve.
