Abstract: A fluid routing plug for use with a fluid end section. The fluid end section being one of a plurality of fluid end sections making up a fluid end side of a high pressure pump. The fluid routing plug is installed within a horizontal bore formed in a fluid end section and is configured to route fluid throughout the fluid end section.

Abstract: A fluid end comprising a plurality of fluid end sections positioned in a side-by-side relationship. Each fluid end section is releasably attached to a connect plate. Each connect plate is attached to a power source using a plurality of stay rods. Each fluid end section comprises a housing in fluid communication with a pair of intake manifolds and a discharge conduit. A fluid routing plug is installed within each housing and is configured to route fluid throughout the housing. A plunger is installed within stuffing box attached to each housing. A number of features, including the location of seals within bore walls and carbide inserts within valve guides, aid in reducing or transferring wear.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a sealing diaphragm and a check valve comprising a sealing diaphragm for fluid technology applications. A sealing diaphragm for fluid technology applications is to be provided, which is economical and constructionally simple to produce, which can be used as a closing means for a check valve and with which unwanted interfering noise can be prevented during operation. The object of the disclosure is achieved by a sealing diaphragm with a flat, flexible sealing section, which can be bent or curved with a fluid pressure, wherein at least one resilient frictional tooth is provided on or next to the surface of the sealing section at a distance from an edge of the sealing section, designed and arranged in such a way that it forms an angle between 30° and 150° with the sealing section and it tilts together with the bending or curving movement of the flat sealing section, wherein the frictional tooth has a contact surface on a side orientated in the tilting direction.

Abstract: In order to prevent the unloader from rotating relative to the valve seat, it is proposed to design the anti-rotation lock for the unloader as an anti-rotation locking disk (16) on which a central recess (17) is provided which has a cross-section that is diametrically opposed and matched to the valve nut (10), wherein the anti-rotation locking disk (16) is arranged with its central recess (17) in a non-rotational manner on the valve nut (10), and the outer contour of the anti-rotation locking disk (16) has a non-circular cross-section, and a central recess (24) is provided on the unloader (20), said central recess having an inner contour diametrically opposed and matched to the outer contour, and the unloader (20) is arranged with its central recess (24) on the anti-rotation locking disk (16).

Abstract: A suction valve includes a non-rotatable lock sleeve 20 concentrically arranged on a valve seat 3, the lock sleeve having a non-circular outer contour onto which an unloader 22 is placed with its radial central section 28 and which is correspondingly formed in a diametrically opposed manner to prevent turning.

Abstract: A steel dampening ring rests on a wafer spring in an annular groove in a compressor valve stop plate to dampen the action of the plastic valve plate to prolong the life of the valve.

Abstract: The valve includes a valve seat (1) having passage channels (2) for the controlled medium which are arranged essentially in a ring-shape and concentrically, of a catcher (3) having flow-off channels (4), a valve plate (5) that is movably arranged, in particular it is movable back and forth, between the catcher (3) and the valve seat (1), having several individual ring plates (7) that are allocated to the passage channels of the valve seat (1), and a support plate (8) that is spring-loaded by the catcher (3) and rests on the ring plates (7).

Abstract: A check valve arrangement utilizes a disc (15) for a valve member while eliminating the need for a ball. A valve seat in the common sense is unnecessary, too. Instead, a substantially flat surface (13) interacts with the disc (15). In order to allow unidirectional flow only, the disc (15) is biased toward the surface (13) by means of an elastic bias ring (17) which itself is held in place by a retainer (6) extending through the center hole (16) of the disc (15) and thereby axially guiding the disc (15). If desired, the flat surface (13) can be supplemented with an embedded sealing ring 18 to provide optimum sealing properties without precise machining of the surface (13). By designing the disc (15) and the retainer (6) in rotational symmetry, a directional adjustment of the parts is made unnecessary.

Abstract: The subject application is directed to a compressor valve having a valve seat, a valve guard and a sealing plate with contoured sealing surfaces, the valve seat having defining inlet flow ports for admitting a controlled medium into the valve, the lower surface of the valve seat including at least one seating surface, the a valve guard having a recessed area and defining outlet flow ports for discharging a controlled medium from the valve, the sealing plate being positioned within a cavity between the valve guard and valve seat and moves relative to the lower surface of the valve seat between an open and closed position, the upper surface of the sealing plate defining at least one contoured sealing surface for engaging at least one seating surface of the valve seat along a continuous line of contact when the valve is in the closed position.
