A pump cassette is disclosed. The pump cassette includes a housing having at least one fluid inlet line and at least one fluid outlet line. The cassette also includes at least one reciprocating pressure displacement membrane pump within the housing. The pressure pump pumps a fluid from the fluid inlet line to the fluid outlet line. A hollow spike is also included on the housing as well as at least one metering pump. The metering pump is fluidly connected to the hollow spike on the housing and to a metering pump fluid line. The metering pump fluid line is fluidly connected to the fluid outlet line.

A liquid dispensing pump (10) comprises: a first liquid storage cylinder (11), a second liquid storage cylinder (12), a first plunger (13) movably connected to the first liquid storage cylinder (11), a second plunger (14) movably connected to the second liquid storage cylinder (12), and a drive assembly (15) connected to the first plunger (13) and the second plunger (14). The first liquid storage cylinder (11) is provided with a first liquid entry and exit port (111). The second liquid storage cylinder (12) is provided with a second liquid entry and exit port (121). One end of the first plunger (13) is inserted into an internal cavity of the first liquid storage cylinder (11). One end of the second plunger (14) is inserted into an internal cavity of the second liquid storage cylinder (12). Further provided is a liquid dispensing device (100). The advantageous effect of the invention is: during each linear reciprocating movement cycle of the first plunger (13) and the second plunger (14), the first liquid storage cylinder (11) and the second liquid storage cylinder (12) discharge corresponding ingredients according to a pre-determined mixing ratio, and a mixed solution according to the pre-determined mixing ratio is obtained, thereby achieving precise mixing of different ingredients. In addition, the dispensing pump (10) discharges ingredients at a consistent ratio, thereby achieving uniform mixing without a dedicated mixer.

The present invention relates to a liquid feeding apparatus capable of feeding a liquid with high accuracy. The liquid feeding apparatus includes a liquid feeder having a downstream side, a plunger, and a cylinder that is configured for aspirating and discharging a solvent when a plunger slides. The liquid feeding apparatus further includes a pressure sensor for the solvent to be discharged, a selector valve configured to switch between a plurality of solvents to be aspirated and discharged, and a controller configured to control the liquid feeder and the selector valve. The controller controls the selector valve in synchronization with an aspiration operation of the plunger so that a mixing ratio of the solvents changes, controls the plunger to cause the plunger to operate at first and second accelerations that are different from each other, and suppresses a fluctuation of the solvent to be aspirated by the plunger.

Various dispensing devices, such as foaming soap pumps, are disclosed. The soap pump can include a fluid storage unit and a fluid handling unit. The fluid storage unit can include a reservoir that is configured to hold a quantity of product, such as liquid soap. The fluid handling unit can include a pumping assembly and dispensing assembly. The soap pump can be configured to withdraw liquid soap from the reservoir, convert the liquid soap to foamed soap, and dispense the foamed soap from the discharge assembly.

A pumping system includes a head having an opening and an injection port. The head is for holding content to be forced through the injection port. A bladder is within the head. The bladder is between the content and the opening. A plunger is configured to move through the opening of the head and to apply force within the bladder. The plunger may be movable in a discharge stroke to force the bladder against the content and thereby force the content through the injection port.

Systems and methods to enhance the flow of fracturing fluid into a wellhead during a high-pressure fracturing operation may include providing a pump frame and a crankshaft. A plurality of first plungers may be connected to the crankshaft and may reciprocate in a first plane. The hydraulic fracturing pump also may include a plurality of second plungers connected to the crankshaft and positioned to reciprocate in a second plane.
