This invention relates to pumps, compressors, 01 like mechanisms, and the primary object of the present invention is to provide a pressure stabilizer for stabilizing or leveling out the pulsations in the discharge of reciprocating pumps, compressors, or the like, which pressure stabilizer will act or operate to pump a secondary fluid under operating pressures of the fluid pumped by the pump or compressor.
With these and other objects in view, as may appear from the accompanying specification, the invention consists of various features of construction and combination of parts, which will be first described in connection with the accompanying drawings, showing a pressure stabilizer for reciprocating pumps or compressors of a preferred form embodying the invention, and the features forming the invention will be specifically pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through a reciprocating pump or compressor showing the improved pressure stabilizer in side elevation and associated therewith;
Figure 2 is a vertical section through the pressure stabilizer; 1 v
Figure 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2; and
Figure 4 is an edge elevation of the pressure stabilizer.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the reciprocating pump or compressor comprises the cylinder l in which a piston or plunger 2 operates for pumping or compressing the fluid. The cylinder I has a pulsating chamber 3 therein as is usual in reciprocating mechanisms of this type. The fluid pumped or compressed enters the cylinder through the intake ports (not shown) where its pressure is increased and it is discharged through the discharge valves 4 into the discharge line 5. The piston rod 6 extends out of the cylin-" der I in the usual manner through one end of the cylinder, and it has packing 8 thereabout which, in Figure 1 of the drawings, is shown as including lantern gland 9 v .The pressure stabilizer or impulse leveling mechanism is genericaly shown at l B, and it comprises a housing I I having cylinder bores 12 and I4 therein. A piston structure 15 is mounted in the cylinder l2 for reciprocatory movement therein and it includes an upper head I6, the outer surface ll of which is opposed to the outer surface 3 of the larger piston head l9 so that the head [9 is opposed to the head IS. The housing II is provided with an intake port and passage which has communication through a suitable conduit 2| with a source of supply (not shown) of a secondary fluid. An intake valve 22 is interposed in the intake passage 20 and is spring seated by means of the spring 23to prevent discharge pressure fluid from the cylinder [2 passing backwards through the intake passage 20.
As clearly shown in Figure 2 of the drawings, the intake passage 20 opens into the cylinder l2 outwardly of the piston head It, so that on the suction stroke of the piston I5, secondary fluid will be drawn into the cylinder l2, and on the pressure stroke of the piston IS, the pressure of such secondary fluid will be increased and it will be forced outwardly through the connecting disharge passage 24. A discharge valve 25 is interposed in the passage 24 and is spring pressed by a spring 26 to prevent its being unseated by secondary fluiddrawn into the cylinder l2 on the suction stroke of the piston 15.
The passage 24 has communication with the discharge passage 2'! which forms the final discharge for the secondary fluid from the stabilizing structure I0, and it also has communication with a passage 28 which serves as both an intake and discharge passage for the secondary fluid intoand from the cylinder [4. A piston 29 reciprocates in the cylinder Mend it has an upper head 39, the area of which is slightly smaller than the active area of the piston head 3! formed upon the end of the piston 29 opposite to the end on which the piston head 30 is formed.
The cylinder [2 at its end in which the piston head I8 reciprocates is connected by a passage 32 and a suitable conduit 33 with the pulsation chamber of the cylinder l of the pump or compressor structure, while the lower end of the cylinder I l in which the piston head 3i reciprocates is connected by a suitable passage 34 and conduit 35 with the discharge line 5 of the primary pump or compressor.
The final discharge 27 of the stabilizer struc-' ture has a conduit 36 connected thereto which may lead to any suitable source of use for the secondary fluid, but in Figure 1 of the drawings, this conduit is shown as discharging the secondary fluid into the lantern gland 9 so as to build up' a counteracting pressure in the packing 8 to prevent leakage of fluid from the cylinder l of the compressor or pump structure. The invention is not limited to this particular use of the secondary fluid, but it may be employed for any of many uses where a liquid or gas of relatively high pressure is desired.
In operation, upon the suction stroke of the piston 2, the suction pressure in the pulsation chamher 3 will be transmitted to the cylinder 12 out wardly of the piston head [8 and will draw the piston l5 downwardly at the cylinder l2, creating a suction action for drawing secondary fluid into the cylinder l2. Upon the discharge stroke or upon the increase of pressure in the pulsating chamber, this increased pressure will force the piston l5 in the opposite direction, tending to compress or increase the pressure of the fluid in the cylinder l2, outwardly of the smaller piston head l6 and force the secondary fluid at its increased pressure through the discharge valve structure 25 into the passage 24.
The reciprocation of the piston 2 of the main pump or compressor will cause pulsations in its discharge line, and upon the decrease of the pressure in the discharge line occasioned during the suction stroke of the piston 2, the piston 23 will be drawn or forced downwardly in the cylinder 14 so as to draw the pressure fluid from the passage 24 into the cylinder 14. Upon the discharge or compression operation of the piston 2, the pressure increase in the discharge line will be transmitted to the cylinder l4 behind the piston head 3i and force the piston 29 in a reverse direction, compressing or increasing the pressure of the fluid in the cylinder Hi outwardly of the piston head 30 and forcing this fluid at its increased pressure outwardly through the final outlet 2'! to the point of use of the high pressure secondary fluid.
Owing to the fact that the piston heads l8 and 3! have a greater active area than the pistons l6 and 30, the pressure or the secondary fluid will be, when it is discharged from the final discharge 21, greater than the discharge pressure of the main pump or compressor, and thus when such high pressure secondary fluid is pumped into the lantern gland 9 it will prevent leakage of the fluid pumped by the pump or compressor from leaking out of the cylinder l past the packing 8.
The pistons IE, IS, 30, and 3! all have centrally located frustoeconical projections formed thereon, as indicated at 31, which, as the respective pistons move in compressing or pumping action, restrict the passage of the various liquids or gas as the piston heads near the ends of their strokes, and this reduction in area in the fluid passages serves to cushion the movement of the pistons and prevent slamming orstrilging; of the piston heads against the ends or heads of the cylinders.
The pistons I5 and 29 have passageways 33 and 33, respectively, bored therein which have communication with the interiors of the cylinders IZ- and M, respectively, outwardly of the ends of the piston heads [6 and 30. Transverse passages 40 communicatewith the bores 38 and deliver secondary fluid behind the piston rings 42 of the piston heads I8 and 3.1 for forcing these piston rings into engagement with the cylinder walls and preventing the leakage of t e m y f d r he flu d acted u on y the punip er compressor from leaking past the pistons l9, and 3! and mingling or mixing with the secondary fluid. Drain openings 43 are provided for bleeding ofi the secondary fluid which leaks from behind the piston rings 42 into the space about the. respective pistons l5 and 29.
While in the drawings the piston heads IE3 and 3| are shown as having greater area than the piston heads l6 and 30 with the result that the secondary fluid is pumped or compressed to a higher pressure than the discharge pressure of the primary fluid acted upon by the pump or compressor, it is to be understood that the relative active areas of the piston heads may be reversed with the pistons 19 and 3| having smaller active areas so that the final discharge pressures of the secondary fluid will be lower than the discharge pressure of the fluid acted upon by the pump or compressor without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
It will be understood that the invention is not to b limited to the specific construction or arrangement of parts shown, but that they may be widely modified within the invention defined by the claims.
