| titleOfInvention | Vacuum assisted priming and cooling system for a pump |
| abstract | A vacuum assisted pump priming system which includes a vacuum chamber communicating with a pump inlet via a transfer passage. A valve assembly within the vacuum chamber controls the communication of a vacuum source with the chamber. The valve assembly includes a semi-cylindrical valve body having a plurality of ports by which the vacuum source is communicated with the vacuum chamber. A closure element, attached to a float, is operative to block the vacuum posts when the float rises above a predetermined level in the vacuum chamber in response to liquid entering the chamber. A lost motion connection is established between the float and the valve body, which enables the float to rise above the predetermined level, while the closure element maintains its blocking relationship with the ports. The float includes an enlarged portion that acts as a defuser and a tamper portion which is received in the transfer passage and is operative to dislodge matter drawn into the transfer passage. The float may include extension portions which act as shields and occupy additional volume in the vacuum chamber in order to reduce the liquid level rise in the chamber. The valve body and closure element may be arranged at a predetermined angle to promote drainage and a shield overlies the transfer passage to inhibit the entry of solids into the vacuum chamber. A two-stage eductor assembly is used to provide cooling for a seal chamber forming part of the pump. |
