This plunger pump includes a pressurization chamber that has a tubular inner circumferential wall and a plunger that has a substantially cylindrical outer circumferential surface. The inner circumferential wall has, in a part thereof in a circumferential direction about an axis of the plunger, a suction opening, which communicates with the pressurization chamber and is for introducing a fuel into the pressurization chamber. The inner circumferential wall is formed with an enlarged gap portion having a larger dimension than a dimension, at a position of the suction opening, from the outer circumferential surface of the plunger to an inner circumferential surface of the inner circumferential wall along a radial direction of the plunger, in at least a part of the inner circumferential wall at a position away from the position of the suction opening in the circumferential direction.

A damping device, in particular for damping or preventing pressure surges, such as pulsations, in hydraulic supply circuits, preferably in the form of a silencer, having a damping housing (2) encompassing a damping chamber (10), wherein said damping housing (2) has at least one fluid inlet (6) and at least one fluid outlet (8) as well as a fluid receiving chamber extending between the fluid inlet (6) and the fluid outlet (8), wherein during operation of the device a fluid flow coming from the fluid inlet (6) passes through the damping chamber (10) towards the fluid outlet (8) and wherein a wall part of the fluid receiving chamber extends as a guide element (16) in at least one direction of extension transverse to the direction of the fluid flow, is characterized in that in the damping chamber (10) several guide elements (16) are provided, against which the fluid can flow and which alter the flow velocity in certain areas.

A replacement tube for a manifold is provided. The replacement tube includes a closed cell foam and a reinforcement strip. The closed cell foam is formed in a cylindrical tube and flexible to absorb pressure pulsations in a chamber of a suction manifold or in another device. The reinforcement strip is fixed along a length of the closed cell foam to support the closed cell foam from flexing and collapsing along the length of the closed cell foam.

A housing-includes a pressurizing chamber. A plunger is moved to increase and decrease a volume of the pressurizing chamber, so that the plunger can pressurize the fuel in the pressurizing chamber. A fuel chamber forming portion is placed on a radially outer side of the plunger and forms a fuel chamber that is communicated with the pressurizing chamber. A pulsation damper is placed in an inside of the fuel chamber and is operable to reduce pressure pulsation of the fuel in the fuel chamber. Fixable portions are placed on a radially outer side of the plunger while each of the fixable portions includes a receiving through-hole. The fixable portions are fixed to an engine with bolts, which are provided to correspond with the receiving through-holes, respectively. The fuel chamber forming portion is displaced from axes of the receiving through-holes.

A hydraulic assembly, particularly for supplying a brake circuit of a vehicle brake system with fluid at brake pressure, includes a throttle element, which in the unpressurized state rests with an upper side on a first support and with an underside on a second support, the supports being formed on opposite sides of the gap. The throttle device advantageously dispenses with a spring element for axial pre-tensioning, is accordingly of compact and cost-effective construction and is moreover easy to assemble.

A pulsation damper for a condensate pump comprising a housing defining a fluid chamber having a liquid inlet connectable to an outlet of the condensate pump, an air inlet, and a liquid outlet, wherein the air inlet includes a one-way valve configured to selectively introduce air into the housing to maintain a first air pocket within the fluid chamber as liquid flows through the fluid chamber, wherein the liquid outlet is located outside the first air pocket, and wherein the air pocket is configured to dissipate pulsations within liquid entering the housing at the liquid inlet prior to the liquid discharging via the liquid outlet.

An axial piston device may be operated as a pump and includes a self-centering rotary valve. The device includes a stationary housing encompassing a shaft and the rotary valve. The rotary valve and the shaft are coupled to each other. Upon rotation, the rotary valve self-centers as a result of elimination of moments and forces within the pump. The inventive pump is a piston device. The valve is within a valve bore, which is a part of a manifold. A shaft is within the manifold and the shaft is attached at its distal end to a planar surface of the rotary valve. The shaft has a first axis of rotation and the rotary valve has a second axis of rotation. During operation of the pump, the first axis is often times offset from the second axis. The pump operates via a swashplate with reciprocating pistons while the housing remains stationary.

A reciprocating pump includes a first manifold which includes a pump chamber, a second manifold which is connected to the first manifold, and a seal which is disposed inside the second manifold and comes into slidable contact with a plunger. A communication pipe which extends across an inside of the first manifold and an inside of the second manifold comes into contact with the seal. Additionally, the reciprocating pump includes a collar which is disposed inside the first manifold and comes into contact with the communication pipe through which the plunger is inserted. The collar, the communication pipe, and the seal are sandwiched between the inside of the first manifold and the inside of the second manifold.

A liquid pump having a pump liner and a pump piston, wherein the pump liner defines a central longitudinal bore and a transverse inlet bore communicating with the central bore for conveying a liquid. The pump piston has a centerline intersecting with a centerline of the transverse inlet bore, and further has a flat surface formed parallel with the piston centerline at a distal end of the piston. The flat surface defines a cut-out portion of the piston, wherein the cut-out portion has a hydraulic diameter equal to the diameter of the transverse inlet bore of the liner, and a distance from the centerline of the piston to the flat surface defining the cut-out portion is greater than or equal to of the diameter of the transverse inlet bore of the liner.

Methods, systems, and devices for dissipating fluid velocity are described. An example apparatus for dissipating fluid velocity may include an elongated pipe configured to allow fluid to flow therethrough, the elongated pipe having a first end and a second end. The apparatus may include an inlet portion at the first end of the elongated pipe, an outlet portion at the second end of the elongated pipe, and a dissipation chamber between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The dissipation chamber may be configured to reduce a velocity of a stream of the fluid along a direction from the inlet portion to the outlet portion, where a cross-sectional area of the dissipation chamber perpendicular to the direction from the inlet portion to the outlet portion is greater than a cross-sectional area of the inlet portion perpendicular to the direction from the inlet portion to the outlet portion.
