摘要:
An air compressor system includes: two or more compressed air tanks previously filled with compressed air; several compression chambers also filled with compressed air, each containing a small internal expandable tube; located inside a larger external heavy-walled tube bonded to endcaps containing one-way and two-way valves, rigidly attached to top and bottom outside tanks; a timed valve inside expandable tube allowing compressed air from top tank to expand that tube to inside of heavy-walled tube, compressing ambient air outside expandable tube that entered through one-way valves. A second timed valve opens, forcing the original air back into the tank bottom or for immediate use or storage. Several other compression chambers follow the same procedure nonstop, increasing the psi in tank for immediate use or storage. All FIG. 1A compression chambers share two common tanks, which fill from top tank 600 and empty in bottom tank 602 in sequence.

A vacuum pump includes a hollow container that has a vacuum port and internal chamber walls. The vacuum port opens to an exterior of the container and the chamber walls define chambers that are in fluid communication with the vacuum port. There are flexible bladders disposed in the chambers. The flexible bladders include vents that open through the container to the exterior. A plunger in the container includes arms that extend into the chambers such that each of the flexible bladders is situated between one of the arms and one of the chamber walls. The plunger is moveable between a home position and an upstroke position to compress and deflate the flexible bladders via the vents and thereby change the volume of the flexible bladders. The change in the volume draws a vacuum through the vacuum port.

A hydraulically driven diaphragm pumping machine (“pump”), in particular for water and difficult-to-pump materials, comprises at least two side-by-side pumping units. Each pumping unit comprises a hydraulically-driven pump cylinder (1,2) and a separate non-pump hydraulic drive cylinder (9,10). The pump cylinder (1,2) has a lower first end with a first inlet and outlet for fluid to be pumped and an upper second end with a second inlet and outlet for hydraulic fluid. The pump cylinder (1,2) contains a bellows (3,4) closed at its lower end and open at its upper end for communication with hydraulic fluid. The outside of the bellows (3,4) defines a space for fluid to be pumped. The bellows (3,4) of the pump cylinder (1,2) is arranged to be driven by hydraulic fluid supplied at its top end, in concertina like expansion and contraction to pump the fluid to be pumped adjacent the lower first end of the pump cylinder (1,2). The hydraulic drive cylinder (9,10) is placed side-by-side the pump cylinder (1,2). The hydraulic drive cylinder (9,10) has a lower first end associated with a hydraulic drive an upper second end containing hydraulic fluid communicating with the upper second end of the pump cylinder (1,2). The hydraulic drive terminates at its upper end with a drive piston (19,20) slidably mounted in the hydraulic drive cylinder (9,10). The hydraulic drives of the hydraulic drive cylinders (9,10) of the two pumping units are connected by a hydro-mechanical connection (25,27) designed to control drive of the hydraulic fluid to advance and retract the pistons (19,20) of each hydraulic drive cylinder (9,10).

An electrochemically actuated pump and an electrochemical actuator for use with a pump. The pump includes one of various stroke volume multiplier configuration with the pressure of a pumping fluid assisting actuation of a driving fluid bellows. The electrochemical actuator has at least one electrode fluidically coupled to the driving fluid chamber of the first pump housing and at least one electrode fluidically coupled to the driving fluid chamber of the second pump housing. Accordingly, the electrochemical actuator selectively pressurized hydrogen gas within a driving fluid chamber.
摘要:
A pump system for conveying a first fluid using a second fluid. The system includes at least a first pump having at least a first rigid outer casing defining a first interior space and a first flexible tube structure accommodated in the first interior space. The interior of the first flexible tube structure is arranged for receiving one of the first or second fluids. The region of the first interior space surrounding the first flexible tube structure is arranged for receiving the other of the first and second fluids. The first flexible tube structure is movable between laterally expanded and collapsed conditions for varying the volume of the interior of the first flexible tube structure, thereby imparting sequential discharge and intake strokes on the first fluid.

A helical pump system includes at least one pressure chamber at least partially defined by a helical bellows plunger comprised of a tubular body, a closed front portion, an open rear portion, and at least one contour extending continuously as a helix, longitudinally from proximate the front portion to proximate the rear portion. Methods for forming a helical bellows plunger include molding the helical bellows plunger using a mold core comprising a helically extending exterior contour and a cooperatively associated mold cavity comprising a helically extending interior contour of substantially a same pitch and configured to align with the helically extending exterior contour of the mold core, introducing a molding material therebetween, curing the molding material, and unscrewing the cured molding material from the mold core.
