20150086401 | RETROFIT OF A RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR WITH A CONCENTRIC VALVE AND A VALVE CLAMP HAVING AN INLET PORT IN A TOP COVER OF THE CLAMP - An assembly to retro-fit a valve head of a compressor that may include a valve head including an exhaust orifice, a concentric two-way valve carried by the valve head, and a valve clamp having an intake port in a top of the valve clamp; the valve clamp being removably coupled to the valve head. The valve clamp may include an annular first wall that defines an intake chamber in fluid connection with the intake port and an annular second wall outside the first wall. The space between the first and second walls may define an exhaust chamber in fluid connection with the exhaust orifice of the valve head. The valve clamp may also include a plunger housing to engage and displace a spring-loaded plunger. The plunger housing may be supported on the valve clamp with a plurality of support arms. | 03-26-2015 |
20140345452 | FLUID END HAVING SPHERICAL CROSS-BORE INTERSECTION - A fluid end of a high-pressure pump having a power end bore, a discharge bore, a suction bore, an access bore, and a cross-bore intersection formed in portions of the fluid end is provided. A transitional open area opens into the cross-bore intersection from the power end bore; a transitional open area opens into the cross-bore intersection from the access bore; a transitional open area opens into the cross-bore intersection from the suction bore; and a transitional open area opens into the cross-bore intersection from the discharge bore. A spherical geometry is created in the cross-bore intersection. A spherical surface forms an outer boundary of the cross-bore intersection. | 11-27-2014 |
20140086774 | FLUID END OF A HIGH PRESSURE PLUNGER PUMP HAVING A GROOVE ADAPTED TO RECEIVE A SPRING RETAINER OF A SUCTION VALVE - A fluid end of a plunger pump has a plunger bore, a discharge bore, a suction bore, a valve cover bore, and a cross-bore intersection formed in portions of the fluid end. The plunger bore, discharge bore, valve cover bore, and suction bore each having an opening which opens into the cross-bore intersection. A valve cover bore axis extends through the opening of the plunger bore which opens into the cross-bore intersection. A groove is formed in the fluid end. The groove traverses a curvilinear path around an open space. Long axes of the discharge bore and suction bore extend into said open space The groove has a first section and a second section. The first section has a first end with a first opening and a second end. The second section has a first end and a second end with an opening. A gap is between said first ends of said first and second sections of said groove. A gap is between said second ends of said first and second sections of said groove. A spring retainer is in the groove. | 03-27-2014 |
20140083541 | FLUID END OF A HIGH PRESSURE PUMP HAVING A GROOVE ADAPTED TO RECEIVE A SPRING RETAINER OF A SUCTION VALVE - A fluid end of a high-pressure pump having a bore, a discharge bore, a suction bore, a valve cover bore, and a cross-bore intersection formed in portions of the fluid end. The bore, discharge bore, valve cover bore, and suction bore each having an opening which opens into the cross-bore intersection with the suction and discharge bores substantially orthogonal to the bore. A groove is formed in a wall of the fluid end within in the cross-bore intersection. The groove traverses a curvilinear path around an open space. The groove has a first section and a second section, each section having a first end and a second end. The first and second sections are separated by a gap proximate the bore and valve cover bore. A spring retainer is received into the groove and secured therein for pump operation. | 03-27-2014 |
20080279708 | Screw Compressor with Oil Feed System - A rotary screw compressor with an oil feed system that has a plurality of oil orifice nozzles to feed oil to the compressor rotors and the compressor bearings. One of the oil orifice nozzles is generally always provided with a regulated flow of oil. At least one and preferably two on/off oil valves can be selectively opened and closed. Each of the on/off oil valves are of a different size and are selectively opened and closed to step regulate the amount of oil being fed to the compression chamber according to a predetermined compression chamber discharge temperature. | 11-13-2008 |
