The disclosure relates to a method, a system, a computer apparatus, and a storage medium for inspecting an operation period of a valve box. The method for inspecting the operation period of the valve box includes at least one of a pressure of the liquid outlet, a stress of the housing, and an acceleration of the housing is acquired. Single operation periods of the valve box are calculated according to at least one of the pressure of the liquid outlet, the stress of the housing, and the acceleration of the housing. Finally, the single operation periods of the valve box are accumulated to obtain a total operation period of the valve box.

The disclosure relates to a compressor including a compression cylinder configured to have a plurality of discharge ports for discharging compressed gas provided in a predetermined direction; and a plurality of discharge valves configured to be provided in the plurality of discharge ports to control an amount of discharged gas. The discharge valves include a valve neck configured to have one end fixed in a plate shape having elasticity and extend along an arrangement direction of the plurality of discharge ports from the one end; and a valve head configured to be provided at the other end of the valve neck to cover each of the discharge ports. According to the compressor of the disclosure, it is possible to manufacture the compressor compactly and reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs of the compressor by reducing the area occupied by the plurality of discharge valves.

A linear compressor includes a discharge valve detachably attached to a front end surface of a cylinder to open and close a compression space of the cylinder; and a valve spring elastically supporting a rear surface of the discharge valve to press the discharge valve toward the front end surface of the cylinder. The discharge valve includes reinforced fiber, and the reinforced fiber is arranged parallel to the front end surface of the cylinder. Accordingly, while a rigidity of the discharge valve is improved, a weight of the valve is reduced to enhance responsiveness of the valve, suppress abrasion of the cylinder, and reduce striking sound.

A gearbox is coupled to a power end housing of a reciprocating pump, where the gearbox includes at least one support member having a first end securely affixed to the gearbox, and the at least one support member having a second end securely affixed to an immobile part of the reciprocating pump for supporting the gearbox and resisting movement of the gearbox relative to the reciprocating pump.

An automatic bidirectional valve includes: a valve body, a central conduit that crosses the valve body and is provided with a first opening in a first end of the valve body and a second opening made in an opposite second end thereof, and a peripheral conduit made in the valve body, provided with a first opening, made in a portion of the valve body between the first and second ends, and a second opening made in the second end. A first shutter is movable between a closing position and an opening position, a first elastic element configured to generate a force adapted to maintain the first shutter in the closing position, a second shutter movable between a closing position, and an opening position, a second elastic element configured to generate a force to maintain the second shutter in the closing position, and a retaining body fixed to the valve body.

The pumping installation (16) comprises a pneumatic pump (22) for pumping a fluid (12) and a system (24) for supplying the pneumatic pump (22) with compressed gas. The supply system (24) comprises a source (34) of compressed gas and a fluidic connection (36) that fluidly connects the source (34) to the pneumatic pump (22). The pumping installation (16) also comprises a system (38) for controlling the supply of the compressed gas to the pneumatic pump (22), wherein the control system (38) comprises a valve (40) mounted on the fluidic connection (36) and switchable between a blocking state, in which the valve (40) prevents the flow of compressed gas between the source (34) and the pneumatic pump (22), and a passing state, in which the valve (40) allows the circulation of compressed gas between the source (34) and the pneumatic pump (22).

The invention relates to a dense phase powder pump and a method for operating a dense phase powder pump in a powder-conveying mode. In order, in a simple manner, to prevent or at least reduce powder accumulations and clogging with powder, in particular on the powder inlet side of the powder conveying chamber of the dense phase powder pump, and thus in the region of the powder inlet valves, according to the invention, during a predefined or specified time period in at least one output phase and preferably at the end time of the output phase of a powder cycle, at least one of the following conditions exists: i) the powder inlet valve of the dense phase powder pump is open; ii) the powder outlet valve of the dense phase powder pump is closed; and/or iii) the application of an overpressure to the powder conveying chamber of the dense phase powder pump is interrupted.

A fluid delivery system is revealed. A double diaphragm pump provided with two inlets and two outlets is mounted in the fluid delivery system. An introducing pipeline is connected to one set of inlet and outlet while a return pipeline is connected to the other set of inlet and outlet. Thereby a pneumatic mechanism in the double diaphragm pump drives two diaphragms therein to draw in and expel fluid in the system so that the fluid flows in and out through the two sets of inlets and outlets. Thus the pressure remains constant and the volume flow rate is uniform during delivery and returning of the fluid. A drain-back tube provided with a control valve is arranged between the introducing pipeline and the return pipeline. The fluid is returned and delivered under control of the control valve while changing fluids or cleaning pipelines of the system.

A fuel pump includes a fuel pump housing with a pumping chamber and an inlet valve bore which extends along an inlet valve bore axis. The inlet valve bore is stepped such that the inlet valve bore includes a shoulder which is traverse to the inlet valve bore axis. A pumping plunger reciprocates within a plunger bore along a plunger bore axis such that an intake stroke of the pumping plunger increases volume of the pumping chamber and a compression stroke of the pumping plunger decreases volume of the pumping chamber. An inlet valve assembly includes a valve seat with a valve seat flow passage extending therethrough, the valve seat abuts the shoulder and is urged toward the shoulder by pressure within the pumping chamber during the compression stroke. The inlet valve assembly also includes a valve member which is moveable between an unseated position and a seated position.
