    Abstract: A serial, dual piston high pressure fluid pumping system that overcomes the difficulties of gas in the fluid stream without the need for added mechanical valves or fluid paths. A bubble detection and recovery mechanism monitors compression and decompression volumes of the serially configured dual pump head pump, and the overall system delivery pressure. Bubble detection is effected by sensing a ratio of compression to decompression volume and determining if the ratio exceeds an empirical threshold that suggests the ratio of gas-to-liquid content of eluent or fluid in the system is beyond the pump's ability to accurately meter a solvent mixture. The magnitude of the ratio of compression to decompression volume indicates that either the intake stroke has a bubble or that the eluent has a higher-than-normal gas content. Once a bubble has been detected, recovery is effected by forcing the pump into a very high stroke volume with the compression and decompression stroke limits constrained to obtain the largest delivery stroke compression ratio that will expel a bubble or solvent that has detrimental quantities of gas.

    Abstract: An inflator mechanism has a valve adapted to secure with the device to be inflated. A compressor is fluidly coupled with the valve mechanism. The compressor mechanism generates fluid to inflate the device. The compressor mechanism includes a motor to drive a piston, a piston, a piston cylinder, an outlet coupled between the piston cylinder and the valve, and a housing. A biasing spring is positioned in the housing to exert a force on the cylinder. The biasing force maintains the cylinder in a first position when the fluid in the cylinder is at a low pressure. The cylinder moves in the housing against the force of the biasing spring to a second position when the fluid in the cylinder is at a high pressure. A displacement control valve is associated with the cylinder to control the fluid displacement of the compressor. Thus, at low pressure, fluid displacement is high and as pressure in the cylinder increases, the fluid displacement is reduced. A power source is coupled to drive the motor of the compressor.

    Abstract: An electric shifting mechanism for a fluid-powered diaphragm pump is provided. The shifting mechanism includes a controller programmed to switch the pump at timed intervals, a solenoid valve and an end of stroke valve. The end of stroke valve translates the pneumatic end of stroke signals generated by the pilot valve into electric signals. The electric signals are then transmitted to the controller. The controller sends timed switch signals to an operator of the solenoid valve. The operator shifts the solenoid valve which transmits a pilot signal generated from the compressed air supply to either the right or the left pilot signal port of the main air valve. The main air valve does not receive pilot signals directly from the pilot valve but, in turn, receives its pilot signals from the solenoid valve which receives signals from the controller. The controller receives end of stroke signals from the end of stroke valve which translates the pneumatic signals generated by the pilot valve into electric signals. The controller than compares the end of stroke signals received from the end of stroke valve with the pre-programmed timed intervals and provides an indication or an alarm if the controller is programmed to shift the pump before the pump reaches the end of its stroke. The solenoid valve and end of stroke valve may be easily incorporated into existing pumps.

    Abstract: A hydraulic oil well pump drive system for driving an oil well sucker rod includes a wellhead hydraulic assembly that is operably connected to the oil well sucker rod to reciprocate the sucker rod. The wellhead hydraulic assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder and a rod that reciprocates linearly within the hydraulic cylinder. The rod has an upper end with a circumferential groove that receives a split cylindrical bearing. The split cylindrical bearing is has two semicircular halves retained within the groove by the inner walls of the cylinder. The halves are retained vertically, relative to the rod, by the groove itself.

    Abstract: In a stroke adjusting device on pumps, in particular proportioning pumps, a hydraulic actuation occurs due to the fact that a hollow shaft, which guides in its interior a sliding shaft, is formed as a hydraulic cylinder, in which the sliding shaft, designed as a double action hydraulic piston, is slidable axially in both directions by means of a hydraulic fluid. Owing to this, the required axial adjusting movement of the sliding shaft is not brought out of the hollow shaft axially to the outside, whereby the two ends of the hollow shaft are kept free for the coupling of several engines or pumps.
