Abstract: A modular check valve system includes a plurality of modular check valves all having a common stack height. The common stack height allows for a substitution of individual valve modules. The substitution capability provides an economical way to increase or decrease the flow area through the valve assembly by varying size of the ball within the check valve. Thus, the specifications of the pump can be relatively easily changed, either at the factory or in the field. The modular construction also permits the use of different types of valves (e.g. flap valves, poppets, duckbills, or trihedrals) without having to change any additional pump fittings. In one embodiment, the modular valve system of the present invention is described in conjunction with a pump having at least one fluid communication fitting adapted to receive a check valve assembly. A fluid passage adjacent to, and adapted for a fluid communication with, the fitting includes a terminal end spaced a predetermined distance from the fitting, to define a predetermined dimensional envelope. A plurality of ball check valves having different sized ball valve elements contained therein is provided. Each of the valves includes a valve housing having a stack height and exterior cross section corresponding to the predetermined dimensional envelope. Any one of the plurality of valves can be secured in the predetermined dimensional envelope to determine the flow velocity and flow area of fluid passing through the pump.

Abstract: A fluid diaphragm pump is provided with a means for controlling the flowrate of fluid to the main fluid valve. Specifically, in the main fluid valve, a sleeve accommodates a sliding spool. The sleeve may include control orifices disposed at either end of the sleeve for controlling the flowrate of fluid past the spool to the outlet of the main fluid valve. The pilot valve housing may also include removable inserts for regulating the flow of fluid to the inlet side of the main fluid valve which results in a restriction of the flowrate of fluid to the main fluid valve. In both embodiments, the flowrate can be changed by either changing one or more components of the sleeve to increase or decrease the diameter of the control orifices or by removing the inserts in the pilot valve housing to either increase or decrease the diameter of the control orifices defined in by the inserts.

Abstract: A fluid powered diaphragm pump is provided which includes three means for supplementing the pilot valve signal to the main fluid valve spool. The means include a cross porting of the main fluid valve spool, or engineered orifices that communicate pressurized air being delivered to one of the inner diaphragm chambers of the pump to the main fluid valve spool by way of either the intermediate bracket or the pilot valve housing. Design features also include the location of the pilot valve assembly immediately below the pressurized fluid inlet cap and between the inlet cap and the main fluid valve assembly. Further, an integrated exhaust muffler is mounted directly to the main fluid valve housing and the main fluid valve housing includes a segmented sleeve assembly which makes it easier to service the main fluid valve assembly and, specifically, the main fluid valve spool. Further, proximity sensors are provided at either end of the main fluid valve spool and an interface is provided to connect the pump to electronic monitoring equipment.

Abstract: A governor for fluid powered diaphragm pumps is shown and described. At least one pump member or oscillatory member moves in response to the varying pressures in the inner chambers of the diaphragm pump. Thus, each pump member or oscillatory member moves at the frequency at which the pump operates. Each pump member pumps fluid through a hydraulic circuit. The fluid flowing through the hydraulic circuit moves a flow regulator disposed in the line that provides communication between the air or power fluid supply and the main air valve or main valve with a pump. In the event the pump operates too fast or at too high a frequency, the pump member or members will pump hydraulic fluid through the circuit at a sufficient flowrate so as to move the flow regulator to a position where it reduces the flow rate of power fluid to the main valve of the pump. In the event the pump is operating too slow or at too low a frequency, the flowrate of hydraulic fluid in the circuit will consequently be reduced and the flow regulator will be biased towards an open position thereby increasing the rate of flow of power fluid to the main valve of the pump. Manual control of the flowrate through the hydraulic circuit, and therefore manual control of the flow regulator, is also provided.
