Patent number: 9316216Abstract: An absolute proportioning pumping system includes an electric motor assembly powering a first pump at a first flow rate and powering a second pump at a second flow rate. A proportioned fluid output includes a first fluid pumped by the first pump and a second fluid pumped by the second pump. The pumping system provides a desired ratio of the first fluid to the second fluid at the proportioned fluid output, relatively independently of pressure and flow rate at the output. In accord with further embodiments, a pump and motor assembly is mounted to and generally surrounded by a liquid tank. The pump and motor assembly may include a pair of fixed ratio outputs driven from a common motor, or may include a single variable output pump either slaved to a master pump or controlled through a timed bypass valve to control output flow rate.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Pumptec, Inc.Inventors: James E.

Publication number: 20100024906Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices and methods for propelling fluids that feature at least one first pump assembly having a primary pump, an accumulator pump, drive means, valve means and control means. The valve means moves between the first position and the second position as the accumulator pump and primary pump alternate between a loading movement and a pump movement. The control means is in signal communication with the accumulator pump, the primary pump and the valve means. The control means issues signal command to the accumulator pump to assume the loading movement and the pump movement and the primary pump to assume the loading movement and pump movement in coordination with the movement of the valve means such that fluids are propelled from the first outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2006Publication date: February 4, 2010Applicant: WATERS INVESTMENTS LIMITEDInventors: Mark W.

Patent number: 6805538Abstract: A pump, for supplying high pressure fuel from a fuel tank to an engine via a common rail, includes a motor assembly (20) mounted on top of the fuel tank, a pump assembly (26) positioned within the fuel tank, and a support column (32) rotatably connecting the motor assembly to the pump assembly. A high pressure pump sub-assembly (46) includes a pump body (48) having a drive bore (50) and multiple plunger bores (60) formed therein. The external profile of a drive member (58) which is rotatable within the drive bore engages the radially inner end of pumping plungers (62) disposed in each of the plunger bores for a portion of each revolution to reciprocally move the plungers between radially inner and outer limit positions. Reciprocation towards the inner limit position induces a low pressure in the radially outer end of the plunger bore, thereby drawing fuel via the drive bore without the aid of a low pressure pump.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2003Date of Patent: October 19, 2004Assignee: Stanadyne CorporationInventor: Ilija Djordjevic
