Reciprocating pump system with suction booster assembly
The granted patent US12044253B2 describes a reciprocating pump system designed to enhance the suction pressure of the pump through a sophisticated suction booster assembly. This assembly includes a venturi with a passage that facilitates the flow of suction fluid, a jet that injects fluid from the pump's discharge into the venturi, and a backflow line that redirects a portion of the discharge fluid to the jet. The backflow line is equipped with a filter to remove debris, and it features a bypass line that allows for backflushing the filter when certain valves are closed. The system is engineered to increase the pressure of the suction fluid flow, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the pump.
Additionally, the patent outlines various configurations of the suction booster assembly, including the use of multiple jets and an inlet adapter with both central and angled passages. The design incorporates a pulsation dampener to mitigate pressure fluctuations in the suction fluid. The method for increasing suction pressure involves diverting discharge fluid, filtering it, and jetting it into the suction flow through the venturi. The system's innovative features, such as the angled jet and the ability to backflush the filter, contribute to its effectiveness in maintaining optimal performance in fluid transfer applications.
