Abstract: A high viscosity portion pump system has a single piston portion pump having a piston/diaphragm assembly arranged on a piston shaft forming liquid and gas chambers, which moves from a starting-position and provides high viscosity fluid from the liquid chamber when gas is received by the gas chamber; has an elastic member arranged on a retainer coupled to the shaft in a compartment in a pump housing, which moves the assembly back to the position and draws further fluid into the liquid chamber when the gas is released; and has a piston position sensor that responds to the position of the shaft and provides signaling containing information about when the assembly is in the position or completed a stroke from the position. A gas control system includes a signal processor that receives the signaling, and provides corresponding signaling containing information about when to provide or release the gas.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pump cartridge, which is directly connected in-line with one or more filter cartridges in a mounting bracket. It may be paired with an accumulator tank for a pump version, and with no accumulator tank for a smart pump version. The inline design reduces the size of the system, the amount of connections, and the amount of hose required to install the system, which in turn reduces the space required for installation, the number of potential leak paths, and the likelihood of failure of the system due to issues with the hose.

Abstract: A pump features a liquid sensing device (LSD) in combination with a housing. The LSD senses the level of a liquid collecting outside the pump and turns the pump on/off for pumping the liquid. The housing includes a housing wall to contain the LSD. The housing wall has an outside wall surface with an outside sensing surface. The housing includes an inside mounting structure to mount the LSD inside the housing in relation to the outside sensing surface. The outside sensing surface has ribs extending or projecting outwardly away from the outside wall surface in order to prevent an object from being stuck on the outside sensing surface, and allow the LSD to sense the level of the liquid collecting outside the pump and touching the outside sensing surface, reducing a malfunction of the pump due to the object contacting the outside sensing surface.

Abstract: A modular pump features a gas-control-and-drive-unit (GCDU), a cartridge-style-pumping-module (CSPU) and a retainer clip (RC). The GCDU includes a GCDU-housing to receive/provide gas to a gas-passageway causing a GCDU-force in one direction; an actuator-rod-and-slide-valve-arrangement (AR/SVA) to respond to a CSPM-force and exhaust the gas from the GCDU-housing causing a GCDU-exhaustion-force in an opposite direction; and a GCDU-coupling-member. The CSPM includes a CSPM-housing to receive a fluid to be pumped, and a piston-and-dual-diaphragm-arrangement (PDDA) to respond to the GCDU-force, provide the CSPM-force and pump the fluid from the CSPM, and to respond to the GCDU-exhaustion-force and pump the fluid from the CSPM. The CSPM-housing includes a CSPM coupling member to detachably couple to the GCDU-coupling-member. The RC detachably couples a piston of the PDDA and an actuator rod of the AR/SVA, so the CSPM attaches/detaches from the GCDU using a three-step process for field replacement using the RC.

Abstract: A pump features a motor, a pump head (PH) and a locking pin (LP) that are uniquely coupled together. The motor has a front end bell (FEB) with a FEB coupling portion configured with twist lock style (TLS) connections with locking portions, and an outer surface with a detent. Each locking portion engages a respective corresponding locking portion when the FEB coupling portion, and the PH coupling portion is twisted together in relation to one another about the longitudinal axis of the pump. Each locking stop abuts against a respective locking portion to stop the FEB coupling portion and the PH coupling portion from twisting together, so the detent and the threaded orifice are aligned to receive the LP, and the motor and pump head are locked together and cannot be pulled apart.
