A pump including a housing defining a plurality of inlet bores. A first interior wall is arranged to at least partially define a first of the plurality of inlet bores. The first interior wall has a contour in a cross section taken normal to the plunger axes. The first interior wall is at least partially defined by the revolution of the contour about a first inlet axis that is normal to and intersects a first of the plurality of plunger axes. The contour includes a cylindrical portion arranged parallel to the first inlet axis, a planar portion extending in a direction perpendicular to the first inlet axis and spaced a first distance from the plunger axis, and a convex bulge portion extending from the cylindrical portion and spaced a second distance from the plunger axis. The contour further includes a V-shaped groove portion extending from the convex bulge portion.

A pump module and a device for producing a fluid jet with a pump module are disclosed. In an embodiment the pump module may include a pump housing in which at least one pump piston is mounted in a reciprocatingly movable manner and is provided with at least one sealing element which during a pumping operation interacts with a cylinder. For creating such a pump module producible in a simple manner and nevertheless exhibiting the functionality necessary for the pumping operation, embodiments disclose a valve block, which receives at least one valve associated with the cylinder, wherein the cylinder is sealed against the valve block. Furthermore, a cover element may abut against the valve block on a side opposite to the cylinder and between itself and the valve block forms an inlet passage leading to the cylinder and/or an outlet passage communicating with the cylinder.

The present invention belongs to the technological field of the head fastening and its components to the block of a compressor, such as those used in cooling systems of household appliances. The head fastening arrangement of cooling compressor includes a head arranged by the cylinder of the cooling compressor and having a head lid; at least one supporting device also arranged by the cylinder; at least one element of union of the head lid to the supporting device, wherein the element of union is capable of transmitting force that presses the head lid and the supporting device against the cylinder.

A retainer nut assembly for a fluid end of a pump system includes a plug with two blades separated by edge cuts, a plug exterior face and a threaded rod extending from the plug exterior face. Each of the blades includes an arcuate face. A mid-cap includes a hole for receiving the threaded rod therethrough with the mid-cap positioned adjacent the plug. The mid-cap further includes flange segments. A cover cap includes a hole for receiving the threaded rod therethrough with the cover cap positioned adjacent the mid-cap. The cover cap has extensions separated by cut outs. Each of the extensions are configured to extend axially between respective flange segments of the mid-cap when the cover cap is assembled to the mid-cap. A fastener engages the threaded rod and secures the retainer nut assembly together.

A fluid end having a longitudinal bore less than about 36 inches in diameter has an internal surface that is cold-worked to have compressive stresses of at least 15 ksi (103.42 MPa) beneath the metal surface up to about 40 mils (1.016 mm).

A pump for cryogenic liquids including plurality of temperature managed pumping mechanisms. Each pumping mechanism including a barrel having a first end and a second end, and at least one bore extending through the barrel from the first end to the second end. The pump barrel including a stabilizer positioned on the first end and at least partially defining a space in fluid communication with the at least one bore to provide cooling to the barrel.

A pump unit for supplying fuel, preferably diesel oil, to an internal combustion engine has at least two cylinders (10), which are formed in at least one head (9), are slidingly engaged by respective pistons (13), and communicate hydraulically with respective fuel inlets (11) in the cylinders (10) via respective interposed intake valves (15) provided with respective valve bodies (16) incorporated in the head (9); the inlets (11) of all the cylinders (10) being closed by a single cover (33) fixed to the head (9).
