This invention offers advantages and alternatives over the prior art by providing a dual port hydraulic fixed displacement pump which exhibits improved efficiency by limiting the volume of discharged fluid which is subjected to the line pressure of a hydraulic system through mechanical valve control. According to the present invention, a pair of discharge ports are provided, namely a first discharge port and a second discharge port. Under all operating conditions, e.g., low and high pump speed operating conditions, the fluid flowing within the first discharge port and primary discharge passageway is exposed to the working pressure of the primary line, which represents a high pressure line. The second discharge port fluidly communicates with a secondary discharge passageway which is in selective fluid communication with a low pressure line connected to a low pressure area of the pump (e.g., a reservoir) under first operating conditions and is also in selective communication with the first discharge port and the primary discharge passageway under second operating conditions. |

A conveyance pump having a substantially constant output pressure. The pump includes a chamber having a circular periphery. A vane is mounted within the pump chamber for oscillation through an arc and a valve chamber includes opening to each boundary of this arc, and with input and output conduits. Within the valve chamber is a valve which may move between two positions, allowing communication between alternate pairs of openings and conduits. An hydraulic motor is connected to the vane to cause its oscillation between the limit positions, and a motor rotates the valve between its positions. In operation the vane will rotate, drawing material from the input opening into the pump chamber behind the advancing vane, and pushing, and thus pressurizing, the material out of the pump chamber in front of the advancing vane and out of the output opening. Reversing the vane continues this process. If a product flow stoppage occurs downstream of the pump the output pressure on the vane will exceed the pressure generated by the hydraulic motor, thus causing the vane to automatically stop oscillation. When the downstream stoppage has been removed, the output pressure will begin to lower, and the vane will again automatically resume oscillation. |

A waste water collection and discharge system includes a buried waste water collection container which receives solid and liquid waste through an inlet. A dry vault located outside the container has a closable entryway which permits access to the vault from above ground. A pump which fits in the vault has an inlet which receives waste water from a fluid inlet tube that extends into the collection container, and an outlet which passes waste water through a fluid outlet tube to a remote collection site. A level sensor senses the level of the waste water in the collection container and initiates and terminates operation of the pump to maintain the level within predetermined limits. The pump, motor, level sensor and motor control system are interconnected into a unitary module which can be placed into and removed from the vault from above. Quick release attachments are provided between the vault and the module, the pump inlet and the fluid inlet tube, the pump outlet and the fluid outlet tube, and in the sensor system and the electrical power line used to power the pump. All of these quick release attachments are accessible through the entryway in the vault, so that the pump/motor module cna quickly and easily be removed from and replaced back into the vault. |

An improved pump assembly is used to supply fuel to an aircraft engine and includes a positive displacement pump which supplies fuel during low speed operation of the pump assembly and a centrifugal pump which supplies fuel during relatively high speed operation of the pump assembly. The positive displacement pump has a plurality of vanes connected with an impeller of the centrifugal pump. The vanes are forced radially inwardly against a stationary cam surface by fluid pressure. The fluid pressure is conducted from an outlet of the positive displacement pump through a passage in the impeller of the centrifugal pump to pressure chambers disposed at outer ends of the vanes. By providing the fluid pressure passage in the impeller of the centrifugal pump, the axial length of the pump assembly tends to be minimized. The positive displacement pump is rendered ineffective to pump fluid when the output pressure from the centrifugal pump equals the output pressure from the positive displacement pump. When the positive displacement pump is ineffective, the components of the positive displacement pump are lubricated by fluid which flows from the positive displacement pump to the centrifugal pump through a common drive shaft for the two pumps. |

This liquid flow control apparatus is a delayed closure valve mechanism intended for use in an unloading bypass between the outlet and the inlet of a pump for supplying fuel to an oil burner. The valve mechanism includes a conduit having a large diameter section between two small diameter sections. A ball valve having a diameter smaller than the large diameter section and larger than the two small diameter sections is captured within the large diameter section. The large diameter section extends upwardly, so that the ball is biased by gravity to its inlet end. When the pump starts, the ball is moved by the discharge pressure of the pump until it engages the upper end of the large diameter section, whereupon the unloading bypass is closed and the discharge pressure of the pump is effective to open a cut-off valve leading to the nozzle of the oil burner. The length of the large diameter section determines the time delay between the starting of the pump and the delivery of oil to the nozzle of the burner. In a modification, two parallel paths are provided for the ball valve, a first long path through which the ball moves to establish the time delay, and a second shorter path through which the ball moves quickly to return to its inactive position. |

A motor-driven gear pump used to pump fluid from a reservoir to a dispensing spigot has a cylinder connected to the pump discharge having a spring biased piston. The piston rod has a knob engaging a normally open microswitch controlling the motor. When the motor is running and the pump delivering through the spigot, the piston is in intermediate position and the knob maintains the switch closed. When the spigot is closed, back pressure builds up in the cylinder, forcing the piston to overcome the spring and the knob to move out of contact with the switch, stopping the motor. If the reservoir is empty, the cylinder empties and the spring moves the piston so that the knob moves out of contact with the switch, again stopping the motor as a safety precaution. Check valves are installed in the inlet line and discharge line of the pump. A manually actuated button moves the piston against the force of the spring and thus primes the pump and also closes the switch to start the motor.

A fuel pump and delivery system for gas turbine engines is disclosed having a plurality of interrelated pumping circuits to meet the engine fuel requirements over the entire range of engine operation. The system has three distinct but interrelated circuits for (1) start up and low-speed operating requirements, (2) normal operating requirements above engine idle speed, and (3) high altitude cruise requirements. A positive displacement gear pump functions in the low speed and start up circuit to provide the necessary dry lift and high pressure, and after the start-up requirements have been met this part of the displacement gear pump is unloaded to terminate its pumping action, but the gear train is employed to drive selectively operative centrifugal pumps of different capacities suitable to meet the engine fuel requirements for either normal operations or for high altitude cruise.
