Abstract: A method and system for evacuating vapors from a vessel comprising at least one fluid line which can have a pump configured to draw a water and/or air mixture which is combined with vapors vacuumed from a tank via another inlet, yielding a solution that can then be disposed as a liquid. Vacuum at the inlet is created by the flowing of the water or air/water mixture past the inlet. The reduced pressure of the moving liquid causes a pressure differential with the higher pressure within the tank, and thus the vapors migrate into the vapor evacuation assembly, are mixed with the fluid, and can then be disposed, or continually recycled, with the fumes stored for later disposal.

Abstract: A pump assembly is provided that includes a gerotor pump and a manifold. An aspirating member is positioned between a pump inlet cavity in the manifold and a fluid reservoir. Fluid flow generated by operation of the pump is diverted by a flow control valve and accelerates as it passes between the aspirating member and the manifold. The resulting decrease in static pressure draws the fluid out of the reservoir where it mixes with the higher velocity fluid. As the combined fluid is slowed, the static pressure increases to “supercharge” the inlet cavity to improve the inlet fill and reduce cavitation. An inlet port in the gerotor pump corresponds to the inlet cavity in the manifold. The timing and geometry of an input port is optimized to prevent noise inducing pressure spikes while maintaining sufficient back pressure in the pump chambers to collapse entrapped vapor bubbles in the fluid.
