A liquid leak detector for a pump is described. The liquid leak detector is mountable on a pump to detect leaked fluid coming from the pump. The leak detector includes a buffer tube positioned on the pump to collect a leaked fluid from the pump and a sensor positioned on the buffer tube to detect the level of leaked fluid in the buffer tube and to generate a signal when the leaked fluid reaches a maximum fluid level. A purge line on the buffer tube removes leaked drive fluid from the buffer tube once the leaked drive fluid reaches a maximum level. Logic connected to the sensor receives the signal from the detector and generates an alarm.

A rotary hydraulic machine with radial pistons comprising: a rotating shaft (2); a cylinder-housing body (3), having a plurality of housing seatings (4) arranged radially at equal distances from the rotation axis (R) of the rotating shaft (2); a cylinder (5) housed in each of said plurality of housing seatings (4) and rotating relative to the same around an axis (C) concentric with said rotation axis (R) of the rotating shaft (2); a piston (6) slidable in each cylinder (5) and coupled to a crank (7) of the rotating shaft (2); a supply conduit (12), for each cylinder (5), provided with a seal (120) arranged to enable a sealed connection between the supply conduit (12) and the respective cylinder (5).

Each seal (120) comprises: a first ring (121), arranged at an end of the supply conduit (12) and placed in contact with the cylinder (5); a second ring (122), concentric to the first ring (121) and interposed between the supply conduit (12) and the first ring (121), wherein the second ring (122) is coupled by interference with the first ring (121) and is inserted by interference into the supply conduit (12) in such a way as to prevent a rotation of the first ring (121) with respect to the supply conduit (12) around a common axis (X).

A hydraulic machine including: a casing rotatably mounted relative to a shaft; first brake means constrained to rotate with the casing; second brake means constrained to rotate with the shaft, and adapted to co-operate with the first brake means; a braking piston associated with return means and tending to exert a braking force; and a brake-release chamber adapted to be connected to a pressure force so as to apply a brake-release pressure selectively to the braking piston, so as to enable the first and second brake means to be separated; said hydraulic machine including a sweeping channel arranged in the shaft so as to define a leakage flow between the brake-release chamber and an internal volume of the casing.

A hydraulic unit of a vehicle brake system includes at least one pump element that is driven via an eccentric, which is enclosed by an eccentric chamber. The hydraulic unit also includes a vacuum pump that is configured to maintain a vacuum in the eccentric chamber while the hydraulic unit is in operation.

A suction cover assembly for a reciprocating pump includes a suction cover nut having a nut face and a thread configured to threadably connect the suction cover nut to a fluid cylinder of the reciprocating pump. The suction cover assembly includes a suction cover having a cover face. The suction cover is configured to be held by the fluid cylinder such that the cover face opposes the nut face of the suction cover nut. The suction cover includes first and second seals having a leakage trap defined therebetween. The leakage trap is configured to trap leakage pressure during operation of the reciprocating pump. The suction cover includes at least one leakage channel that is configured to channel the leakage pressure from the leakage trap to an interface between the cover face and the nut face.

Embodiments relate to a high-pressure fuel pump having a pump piston which, during operation, moves in translation between a pressure chamber and a leakage chamber. The leakage chamber has a leakage collecting region and an equalizing region. A low-pressure damper having a bellows-shaped corrugated damper plate is arranged in the equalizing region.

A fuel pump assembly for pressurizing fuel such as dimethyl ether (DME). The fuel pump assembly includes a plunger assembly and a pump block defining a pumping chamber and a plunger assembly cavity in communication with the pumping chamber. The plunger assembly is movable at least partially in the plunger assembly cavity towards and from the pumping chamber. The fuel pump assembly includes a metering valve and a suction channel located between the metering valve and the pumping chamber in an intended direction of flow of the fuel, wherein the fuel pump assembly comprises a leakage return conduit, with a first leakage return conduit opening in fluid communication with said plunger assembly cavity, adapted to return fuel that has leaked from the pumping chamber. The leakage return conduit includes a second leakage return conduit opening located in the suction channel.

A box lubricator that includes a pump with a piston housing and piston. The piston housing extends from a first end to a second end, and includes a bore extending through the piston housing from the first end of the piston housing to the second end of the piston housing. The piston housing also includes a recess disposed at the second end of the piston housing, the recess being concentric with the bore and comprising a diameter larger than a diameter of the bore. The piston is disposed inside the bore of the piston housing. At least one elastomeric seal is disposed inside the recess of the piston housing and around the piston. In some embodiments, a ball and socket joint connects the piston to the rocker arm assembly. In some embodiments, a fluid passage and a check valve are disposed inside the piston.
