Abstract

Abstract A reciprocating high-pressure pump assembly is provided, having a housing, a piston reciprocably mounted in a cylindrical chamber of the housing, and an outlet port and valve assembly mounted at the upper part of the housing. A pair of inlet port and valve assemblies are additionally mounted in the housing, one substantially coaxially with the piston, and the other substantially coaxially with the outlet valve, and in a lower portion of the housing. This structure, because it utilizes two inlet valve assemblies, permits inlet valves and housings to be utilized of considerably reduced dimensions, thereby greatly increasing the trouble-free operating time of the pump without reducing pumping capacity, and additionally permitting a plurality of pump assemblies to be mounted side by side in closer relationship than is possible with prior art pumps.
