A compressor and method for compressing a working medium, including moving a drive piston which is driven by way of a driving medium within a first cylinder between a first end position and a second end position; moving a high pressure piston which compresses the working medium within a second cylinder between a first end position and a second end position; arranging a high pressure seal for sealing the high pressure piston; arranging a magazine having a receptacle for the high pressure seal and at least one replacement high pressure seal in a first operating position, in which the high pressure piston is sealed by way of the high pressure seal; and transferring the magazine from the first operating position to a second operating position, in which the high pressure piston is sealed by way of the replacement high pressure seal.

A piston (8) is provided in a motor main body (4). A first motor chamber (9) is provided above the piston (8) and a second motor chamber (10) is provided below the piston (8). A pilot valve element (18) is provided so as to protrude from the piston (8). When a supply/discharge valve (13) is moved to its upper limit position or its lower limit position by the movement of the pilot valve element (18) in an up-down direction, a first valve member (25) of the supply/discharge valve (13) switches between supplying and discharging pressure fluid to and from the first motor chamber (9) and a second valve member (26) of the supply/discharge w valve (13) switches between supplying and discharging pressure fluid to and from the second motor chamber (10).

A pressure booster includes a pressure boosting unit and a bypass unit. The pressure boosting unit includes an input port connected to the side of a fluid supply source and an output port connected to the side of a tank. The pressure boosting unit boosts the pressure of a pressurized fluid supplied to the input port and outputs the pressure-boosted pressurized fluid from the output port. The bypass unit includes a bypass flow path having one end connected to the fluid supply source side and the other end connected to the output port side. The bypass flow path is provided with a bypass check valve configured to block the flow of the pressurized fluid from the output port side to the fluid supply source side.

An electric submersible pumping system for use in pumping fluids from a wellbore includes a motor, a pump driven by the motor, and a fluid expansion module connected to the motor. The fluid expansion module includes a piston seal housing and a piston assembly contained within the piston seal housing. The piston assembly includes a piston body having an exterior surface, a plurality of seals connected to the exterior surface of the piston body and a pressure equalization system. The pressure equalization system reduces a pressure differential between fluid in an annular space between the plurality of seals and fluid surrounding the first piston assembly.

The invention relates to a delivery device (1) for delivering a fluid medium, having a delivery drive (2), a pump device (3) and a scoop device (4). The delivery drive (2) is arranged at a first end (6) of a pipe (5), wherein the pump device (3) and the scoop device (4) are arranged inside the pipe (5). The scoop device (4) includes a foot valve (8), which is arranged at a second end (7) of the pipe (5) and which foot valve (8) serves to control an inlet (9) for an inflow of medium into a piston chamber (10). A piston (11), which sub-divides the piston chamber (10) into an inflow area (12) and a discharge area (13), is arranged in the piston chamber (10), wherein the inflow area (12) and the discharge area (13) are or can be connected via the piston (11), wherein the piston (11), via a piston rod (14), is movable between a retracted position and an extended position inside the piston chamber (10) by the delivery drive (2) (FIG. 1).

A reciprocating fluid pump may include a pump body, one or more subject fluid chambers within the pump body, one or more drive fluid chambers within the pump body, and a shuttle valve for shifting flow of pressurized drive fluid between two or more conduits. The shuttle valve includes a valve body and a spool disposed within the valve body and configured to move between a first position and a second position within the valve body. The shuttle valve also includes one or more magnets carried by the spool. The magnets are located and configured to impart a force on the spool responsive to a magnetic field such that the spool is magnetically biased away from an intermediate position between the first position and the second position.

The invention comprises a system containing a multipurpose hydraulic unit that can be used in machines and equipment, driven by low-pressure compressed air or other gases, comprising two hydraulic pumps that work together with a hydraulic pressure accumulator, where the main function of the hydraulic pumps is to pump oil to ensure that the hydraulic pressure accumulator (28) is always full, in which the pumping of oil begins with the supply of compressed air, which passes through the pneumatic directional valve (11) and is conveyed to the lower pneumatic chamber (22) or to the upper pneumatic chamber (4) to move the pneumatic cylinder and to push the hydraulic liners of the pumps, which pumps are assembled in parallel with the shaft of the pneumatic cylinder, each on one side, and as such, when the hydraulic chambers move, they exert a force on this volume of oil and force this stored oil out through the check valves to the hydraulic pressure accumulator, where it is kept under pressure and ready for use, and while this volume of oil is being pumped out of the hydraulic chamber, another volume of oil is being drawn into the hydraulic chamber opposite this hydraulic chamber, also to be pumped when the reverse movement of the pneumatic cylinder occurs, at which point said pneumatic cylinder begins pumping this new volume of oil, and so on until the pressure accumulator is full and pumping is stopped as a result of pressure equilibrium being reached, nonetheless maintaining the system under pressure, said system being restarted whenever oil is consumed as a result of the movement of any hydraulic actuator of the machine that is using this invention.
