Abstract: A pair of pump bodies are disposed on the opposite sides of a rotor having vanes and a cam ring disposed in surrounding relationship with the rotor. These pump bodies serve the function of a sideplate and a pressure plate. The rotary shaft of the rotor is rotatably journaled in one of the pump bodies. A flow control valve is disposed in alignment with the axis of the other pump body, and a relief valve is disposed in surrounding relationship with the flow control valve. In this manner, the construction of various parts is simplified and the number of parts is reduced while simultaneously facilitating the machining operation. The overall length and the outer diameter as well as the weight of the pump can be reduced, advantageously reducing the manufacturing cost of the pump.

Abstract: To minimize the power absorbed by a positive displacement pump system used where the requirement for pressure fluid varies inversely with the pump speed, notably in automobiles, the system provides two separate delivery passages 61, 62 for the pumped fluid and a discharge passage 66 into which the fluid from the delivery passage is passed under the control of a valve means 70, 71, the valve means commencing to operate on one (62) of the two delivered flows at lower speeds to by-pass a proportion of said one flow to an overspill 79, while the fluid not bypassed is added to the flow from the other delivery passage being passed to the discharge passage.

Abstract: A gas compressor of the scroll type is disclosed wherein unloader means are provided for selectively varying its capacity by effectively delaying the point at which the closed moving volumes defined between the wrap elements begin compression. To this end, passage means extend through the end plate means of the compressor from a location in communication with the closed moving volumes to a location in communication with working gas normally at suction pressure during operation of the compressor. Valve means are provided for selectively blocking flow through the aforementioned passage means, whereby the compressor operates at a relatively high capacity; and for permitting flow through the passage means, whereby gas is exhausted via the passage means to suction pressure as the closed moving volumes progress radially inwardly to a predetermined position at which compression is permitted to begin.

Abstract: A hydraulic fluid power system incorporating a supplemental pressurization system at the intake side of a hydraulic pump. The supplemental pressurization system includes a supplementary reservoir in communication with a primary fluid accumulator and an intake conduit of the hydraulic pump. The reservoir supplements hydraulic fluid flow to the intake side of the pump whenever intake line pressure drops below one atmosphere. Should the combined hydraulic fluid flow from the accumulator and the reservoir be insufficient to raise the intake pressure to prevent cavitation of the pump, an air ingestion valve opens to supply air to the intake side of the pump until proper pressurization is achieved, whereby the supplemental pressurization system closes off.

Abstract: The present hydraulic system for driving a submersible pumping unit has an above-ground pump for pumping oil through a hydraulic motor in the submersible pumping unit which has a gate valve to prevent the reverse flow of water after the submersible pumping unit is turned off. A pressure regulating valve limits the oil pressure to the hydraulic motor. The inlet flow to the above-ground pump is filtered. In the present improvement, the hydraulic surge at start-up and shut-down is cushioned by bypassing hydraulic fluid through an accumulator which causes pressure at the motor in the submersible pumping unit to build-up relatively gradually at start-up and decrease relatively gradually at shut-down.

Abstract: A positive displacement pump system has first and second delivery passages for the pumped fluid and a main discharge passage. A control valve operating in dependence on the pressure drop across an orifice in the discharge passage diverts through overspill porting a proportion of the flow through the second delivery passage, the remainder added to the flow from the first delivery passage and passed to the discharge passage. The control valve also regulates the by-passing of a proportion of the flow from the first delivery passage to the overspill porting. As the said pressure drop increases, the control valve first increases the proportion of the flow from the second delivery passage diverted to the overspill porting and, as the pressure drop increases further, then commences to by-pass fluid from the first delivery passage to the overspill port, the quantity by-passed increasing with increase of said pressure drop.

Abstract: In the embodiment shown, the invention comprises a suction/check valve interposed in a gas inlet channel, the channel being open at one end for communication with the atmosphere, and at the opposite end for communication with a gas compressor inlet port. The valve has a bleed hole formed therein for slowly blowing down the compressor receiver at shutdown. A second check valve is operatively interposed between the receiver and the atmosphere for depressurizing the receiver when the compressor unloads. A conduit which communicates with both valves provides a valve-operating, fluid, pilot-pressure to close off the suction/check valve, and to interdict its bleed hole, and to open the second check valve, with compressor unloading.

Abstract: An electromagnetic plunger pump of the reciprocating type including a vent valve means which allows only air bubbles in the pump to pass therethrough. This vent valve means is provided in a pressure adjusting plunger fitted in a pressure adjusting cylinder for reciprocating motion. The vent valve means comprises a vent valve rod which is fitted in a through-hole of the pressure adjusting plunger so as to form a passage about the vent valve rod, and a vent valve body which is normally energized by a spring in the direction away from a vent valve seat at a forward end of the pressure adjusting plunger to provide a clearance between the vent valve body and the vent valve seat. This clearance is such that it allows the air bubbles to pass therethrough, while it does not allow a liquid under pressure having a viscosity to pass therethrough with the result that the vent valve means is closed by such liquid under pressure.

Abstract: A carburetor for internal combustion engines with an acceleration pump whose pump chamber is connected to the float chamber by a suction duct having a suction valve. The pump chamber also is connected to the intake line section upstream of the throttle by a delivery duct having a pressure valve and a calibrated injection opening. The acceleration pump has a displacement member which is actuated via a linkage by a lever depending on the throttle position. The pump chamber has a flow duct, leading to the float chamber and having a cross section adjustable by means of a screw, and a second adjustable flow duct whose inlet has a valve actuated by the throttle position. The valve may have a spring which presses a closure member, held in a diaphragm, against the inlet overcoming the force of the fuel pressure. This spring also presses a plunger against a second lever arm which actuates the acceleration pump.

Abstract: A diaphragm pump includes a pump chamber, a pressure fluid chamber, a diaphragm partitioning the interior of the pump into the pump chamber and the pressure fluid chamber, a cylinder communicating with the pressure fluid chamber, and a plunger reciprocable within the cylinder. The pressure fluid chamber or the cylinder communicates with a pressure fluid reservoir via a pressure regulating valve adapted to open when the pressure in the pressure fluid chamber is too high, and a valve adapted to open before the pressure in the pressure fluid chamber is too low, and to close when the pressure is restored to a given pressure level.
