Patent number: 11826546Abstract: The systems, methods and articles described herein are directed to at least one pressure sensor along a downstream fluid line which senses fluid pressure and assists an occlusion detection feature in determining the presence of occlusions in the downstream fluid line. In addition, the system can dynamically adapt the occlusion detection feature based on a delivery of fluid, such as a bolus, in order to prevent the system from creating a false alarm regarding an occlusion of the downstream fluid line.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: CareFusion 303, Inc.Inventors: Donald Halbert, Jesse Guerra, Stephen Bollish

Patent number: 11149855Abstract: The present invention is directed to use of a combined seal involving a compression seal coupled with a metal-to-metal seal for use on the suction and discharge side of the plunger portion of a reciprocating pump. This combined seal results in less vibratory movement and better pumping during use of the pump, and an overall more efficient pump based on the improved seal.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2019Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: VP Sales and Company LPInventors: Jesse Guerra, Adrian R. Sandoval, Jose C. Garcia, Jr.

Patent number: 10570896Abstract: Disclosed herein is a packing nut lock for a fluid end assembly of a reciprocating pump. The fluid end assembly includes a fluid end block component, a set screw which may have a pointed end, and a packing nut. The set screw engages or interlocks between the a first and second thread of a threaded bore to prevent displacement of the packing nut from the threaded bore.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: VP Sales and Company LPInventors: Jesse Guerra, Richard Anthony Townsend

Patent number: 10465680Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved fluid end discharge cap and bore to minimize or avoid cavitation during use of a reciprocating fluid end pump and hence prolong the use and life of the fluid end assembly. The improved design included modifying the current cylindrical discharge cover or cap to a tapered, conical or convex design, enlarging the discharge bore, and recessing seat decks into the suction and discharge bores, to avoid fluid flow obstructions and increase volume flow. The pump outlet bore was enlarged and the bore height and diameter were increased to further increase flow. The conventional design has edges and ninety-degree angles which tended to allow for fluid media to remain in the bore and trigger pump cavitation. The current inventive design has eliminated restrictions, in particular 90° angles, to allow uninterrupted fluid flow therein.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: VP Sales and Company LPInventor: Jesse Guerra

Publication number: 20150361745Abstract: A positive displacement fluid pump with increased service life is described. The positive displacement pump includes a plunger, a suction bore and a discharge bore. The plunger, the suction bore and the discharge bore form a pumping chamber. The diameter of the suction bore is greater than the diameter of the discharge bore. The difference in the diameters of the suction bore and the discharge bore allows for less fluid to be discharged through the discharge valve than what is being put into the bore through the suction valve and helps in increasing the service life of the pump. A method of operation of such a positive displacement pump is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Applicant: VP Sales and CompanyInventor: Jesse Guerra
