A pump having at least two fluid drivers and a method of delivering fluid from an inlet of the pump to an outlet of the pump using the at least two fluid drivers. Each of the fluid drives includes a prime mover and a fluid displacement member. The prime mover drives the fluid displacement member to transfer fluid. The fluid drivers are independently operated. However, the fluid drivers are operated such that contact between the fluid drivers is synchronized. That is, operation of the fluid drivers is synchronized such that the fluid displacement member in each fluid driver makes contact with another fluid displacement member. The contact can include at least one contact point, contact line, or contact area. |

A wiper assembly may be used to prevent wellbore debris from entering an operating region of a pump. The wiper assembly may include a housing, a wiper member, a backing member, and a biasing member. The biasing member may bias the backing member into engagement with the wiper member, and thereby bias the wiper member into engagement with a tapered surface of the housing. The wiper member may include a corresponding tapered surface, which thereby forces the wiper member radially inward into engagement with an operating member of the pump. |

A gear pump includes a plurality of gear wheels rotatably retained in a pump housing and that engage in one another for the conveyance of a medium. One of the gear wheels is driven by a pump shaft, which can be coupled to a drive by means of a coupling end. To maintain a uniform conveyance flow, in particular with strongly fluctuating operational pressures, during alternating load states, within a single rotation, a brake ring is disposed on the circumference of the pump shaft, which acts with at least one brake surface on a friction surface of the pump shaft or on a friction surface of the pump housing. |

A screw compressor includes a casing, a screw rotor, a low-pressure-side bearing, and a low-pressure-side bearing holder holding the low-pressure-side bearing. The screw rotor is housed in the casing to form a compression mechanism to compress a refrigerant. The low-pressure-side bearing is arranged in a low-pressure-side region inside the casing and rotatably supports a drive shaft of the screw rotor. The casing has a suction port with an opening facing the low-pressure-side bearing holder as viewed along an axial direction. A filter member is attached to the suction port to filter out contaminants contained in the refrigerant being sucked into the casing. The filter member has a cylindrical shape with a bottom. A peripheral portion of the filter member adjacent to an opening of the filter member is fixed to the suction port. The bottom of the filter member is fixed to the low-pressure-side bearing holder. |

An air intake separator system includes a plurality of vanes adapted to remove fluid or precipitation from an air stream, wherein the vanes are operably coupled to tubular rods with an interference fit. Applying an elevated temperature heat transfer fluid to the plurality of vanes removes fluid or precipitation from an air stream in order to prevent ice formation. Likewise, applying a lower temperature heat transfer fluid can cool the vanes. |

The invention relates to a gear wheel pump with two meshing gear wheels which are rotatably mounted within a pump housing by means of a driven driveshaft and a crankshaft journal and which form a pumping channel system between a pump inlet and a pump outlet. Several gaps are formed between the pump housing, the gear wheels, the driveshaft, and the crankshaft journal. One of the gaps between the driveshaft and one of the gear wheels contains means for the rotationally fixed connection of the driveshaft to the gear wheel. In order to prevent leakages penetrating to the connecting means, according to the invention the gap between the driveshaft and the gear wheel is sealed, with respect to the front faces of the gear wheel, by means of a sealant. |

A positive displacement pump is disclosed which includes a case that defines a pump cavity. A shaft and rotor, which are detachably connected together, are also included wherein the rotor is disposed within the pump cavity and the shaft passes through an opening in the proximal end of the case. The distal end of the shaft, in addition to being connected to the rotor, is also coupled to a fastener that couples a cover plate over the distal end of the shaft and over at least part of the base portion of the rotor. The opening in the proximal side of the case through which the shaft passes also accommodates a seal assembly. Access to the seal assembly is easily made by removing the head from the case and removing the rotor from the shaft. The seal assembly can be changed or serviced without removal of the shaft. |

The invention relates to an agitator tool for use with a progressive cavity pump for agitating a slurry of sand, heavy oil or water. The agitator tool has an elongate body having a lower end, an upper end, and a plurality of longitudinal grooves spaced between the lower and upper ends and radially about the body. The upper end is configured for coupling to a pump rotating element. Agitation members are pivotally mounted within the longitudinal grooves so as to be movable from an actuation position wherein the agitation members project outwardly from the body during rotation to agitate the slurry, to resting positions wherein the agitation members are folded within the grooves during installation or removal of the tool. |

A high-pressure fuel pump includes a housing and a swash plate which is mounted in the housing and is arranged in an oil space of the housing. A drive shaft is connected to the swash plate and passes through a housing opening, and with a seal for the drive shaft, which seal is mounted in the housing in the region of the housing opening. The high-pressure fuel pump has a plurality of pump elements for sucking up, compressing and ejecting fuel, which pump elements can be acted upon consecutively by the rotatable swash plate. In a pump of this type, the fuel pump has at least one magnet, the magnetic force field of which acts on the oil space of the housing. Premature wear of the pump, in particular premature wear of the seal, is avoided since the magnet separates off iron-containing dirt particles found in the oil. |

The invention relates to a rotary lobe pump for conveying solids-laden fluids engendered in agriculture, in which the conveyed fluid volume flow adapts itself to different operating modes. For improved self-priming, the rotary lobe pump is preferably designed for vertical mounting of the rotary lobes, wherein an angular gear is provided. The rotary lobes are mounted in a topside or underside cover, wherein the axes of the rotary lobes are vertically oriented. Using one of the covers, the rotary lobes can be vertically removed and maintained without having to dismantle other pump components from the pump housing. The rotary lobes can also be removed together with the angular gear as an integral pump component using one of the covers. |
