A piston pump is disclosed suitable to be installed on machines for dispensing fluid products, comprising a jacket, a piston device mobile with alternate motion inside said jacket and comprising a rod and a head. The pump also comprises a pipe for fluids to enter and a pipe for fluids to exit, said pipes being disposed on the same side of the jacket and on opposite sides with respect to the piston device.

A pump device includes a rotary motor, a compartment for insertion of a disposable pump part, and one or more pulsation-reduction elements. The disposable pump part includes an input port, an output port, and a dual-action reciprocating assembly. The input port is configured for intaking fluid. The output port is configured for outputting the fluid. The dual-action reciprocating assembly is configured for pumping the fluid. The assembly includes a single piston and a rod configured to be coupled to the rotary motor, so as to drive the piston. The one or more pulsation-reduction elements are configured to reduce a pulsation in the outputted fluid, caused by the single-piston dual-action reciprocating assembly.

Systems and methods for determining proper phase rotation in a linear motor that may be used in an ESP system, where the phase rotations associated with power and return strokes are initially unknown. The method includes providing power to the motor for multiple cycles and monitoring the load (e.g., by monitoring current drawn by the motor) on the motor to determine in which direction (phase rotation) the load on the motor increases. This direction corresponds to the power stroke of the motor. The direction of increasing load is then associated with the power stroke and the motor is operated normally.

A reciprocating compressor includes a compressor cylinder defining a cylinder wall, a valve bore formed in the cylinder wall, and a compressor valve assembly arranged in the compressor cylinder. The compressor valve assembly includes a valve liner having a liner body and a liner flange disposed at an end of the liner body. The liner body is disposed in the valve bore. The liner flange is positioned in contact with the compressor cylinder. A valve seat is coupled to an inner surface of the liner body. The valve seat has a seating surface formed at an end of the valve seat. A compressor valve is positioned on the seating surface of the valve seat. A valve cage is positioned on the compressor valve. A valve cover is coupled to the valve cage to apply a bias force to retain the compressor valve on the seating surface of the valve seat.

A compressor comprises a first cylinder for compressing a fluid and a second cylinder for driving a piston in the first cylinder. The first cylinder comprises a chamber with first and second ends. The piston is reciprocally movable along an axial direction of the chamber for compressing a fluid. Three or more first ports at the first end include at least one first inlet port and at least one first outlet port. Three or more second ports at the second end include at least one second inlet port and at least one second outlet port. Each port has an axial direction parallel to the axial direction of the chamber. A check valve is connected inline with each port along the axial direction of the port.
