Patent number: 9617987Abstract: A pumping assembly is provided which is suitable for use in a variety of dosing pumps. The pumping assembly comprises a pump body with a pump bore, and a sleeve fixed within the pump bore. The sleeve has a first end, a second end and a sleeve bore. A plunger is adapted to enter the first end of the sleeve and to reciprocate within the sleeve bore. The sleeve has at least one port to allow fluid flow through a wall of the sleeve. The, or each, port is elongated in a direction substantially orthogonal to a direction of reciprocation.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2011Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Delphi International Operations Luxembourg S.A.R.L.Inventors: Keith E. Wright, Michael Peter Cooke, Neil C. Smith, Martin Paul Hardy, Ivan C. Lawford, Kevin S. Stanbury

Patent number: 9518592Abstract: A pump assembly having improved cooling for use in a selective catalytic reduction system is disclosed. The pump assembly comprises a pump housing having a body portion and a nozzle portion extending from the body portion, a jacket including a cavity for receiving the pump housing, first and second ports for cooling fluid, and a flow guide disposed between the jacket and the pump housing. The cavity includes a first compartment for cooling fluid defined in part by the flow guide and in part by the pump housing and being in fluid communication with the first port; and a second compartment for cooling fluid defined in part by the flow guide and in part by the jacket. The first compartment is in fluid communication with the second port by way of the second compartment.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2012Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Delphi International Operations Luxembourg S.A.R.L.Inventors: Keith E. Wright, Michael Peter Cooke, David W. Needham, Martin Paul Hardy
