Abstract:
A dual pump fluid proportioner having an adjustable motor position comprises a mounting plate, first and second positive displacement pumps, first and second tie rods, a pump yoke and a motor. The first and second tie rods fixedly connect the first and second pumps to the mounting plate. The first and second pumps each have a pump shaft. The pump yoke slidably couples to the first and second tie rods and the pump shafts. The motor adjustably couples to the mounting plate and includes a drive shaft. The drive shaft extends from the motor, through the mounting plate to adjustably couple to the yoke.
Abstract:
The disclosure addresses a relief valve suitable for use in systems for delivering relatively viscous fluids. The described relief valve includes a housing and a valve mechanism moveable relative to an opening into the housing to allow or prevent flow from a flow path adjacent the relief valve into and through the housing. The relief valve is configured to minimize, and in many examples, essentially eliminate, a cavity between the housing opening and the adjacent flow path. Elimination of this cavity offers significant advantages as it minimizes or eliminates a location for pumped materials to accumulate and/or cure, which can lead to impairment or disabling of the relief valve operation.
