| 20100150764 | PUMP HAVING MODULAR SHAFT BEARINGS AND SEALS - An external gear pump including seals, bearings, bushing/seal housings, choke collars and shafts that are all removable for maintenance and/or replacement without removing either endplate or internals from the case assembly. The preferred pump includes four bearing caps that can be removed without removing the pump from its mounted position. By removing the four bearing caps, access is gained inside the pump housing to all of the seals, bearings, bushing/seal housings, choke collars and most importantly, the drive and idler shafts within the pump housing. Further, the two shafts can be slipped out of the pump without disturbing the internal parts and endplates. This capability facilitates maintenance and replacement of major components without removing the pump from its mounted position. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20090297384 | DUAL DISPLACEMENT EXTERNAL GEAR PUMP - An external gear pump which has a certain flow rate or volumetric capacity at a given speed can be taken apart and the parts rearranged and assembled into a second pump operating at the same speed with a flow rate or volumetric capacity that is different from the original pump. No new parts are required for the second pump configuration and all original parts are used. With this structure, pumps with different flow rates can be built using fewer parts than conventional designs. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090266422 | PRESSURE PLENUM FLOW DIVIDER - A fluid metering or pumping device includes multiple pumping or metering elements that are connected so that they all operate together, moving in the same direction and at the same speed. The multiple pumping or metering elements are intended for use at high pressures where the strain from the pressure might distort the walls of the elements, and interfere with their pumping or metering accuracy. These elements are enclosed in, but preferably not directly connected to a pressure vessel that would contain the high operating pressure, leaving the pumping or metering element housings to only contain the pressure rise or fall that occurs within that element. The pumping or metering elements are connected to a support structure that also penetrates the pressure vessel, and contains an outlet port for that element. The pressure vessel connects the elements, and serves as an intake plenum for all of the elements. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090120507 | FLUID METERING AND PUMPING DEVICE - A fluid metering/pumping device preferably includes a series of intermeshing gears. The fluid metering/pumping device includes an inlet port or area adjacent the intermeshing portion of each pair of gears within the series adjacent the point at which the pair of gears diverge. The device further includes a pressure loaded floating shoe adjacent the intermeshing portion of each pair of gears within the series adjacent the point at which the pair of gears converge. The device further includes a piston subjected to discharge pressure at each discharge port which conveys hydraulic pressure to each floating shoe. The device is configured to convey liquid from a main inlet stream of liquid, through the inlet ports or areas, and out of one or more discharge ports at substantially equal rates. | 05-14-2009 |
