    Axial piston pump design

    You got a response? So far all I've gotten is a catalog in the mail. I was waiting to hear from them before I added to this topic. Thanks for all the input so far.

    Axial piston pump design

    For example, the 5cc bent axis pump from Bosch has a max inlet pressure that's less than 10% of the outlet (30 bar / 350 bar) I'm a relative novice when it comes to these so excuse me if these are stupid questions. If the limitation is due to pump case strength, could that be overcome if you...

    Axial piston pump design

    What is it in the design of an axial piston pump that limits the max inlet pressure so much (relative to the max outlet pressure that is)? Thank you.

    Triplex pump in series with a ... ?

    Hey guys, thanks for the input. The application is a drilling rig pumping drilling fluid down the drill string and back up the annulus. I didn't mention it initially because I was trying to be as concise as possible in my first post, which I think I failed at anyway ;). To answer your...

    Triplex pump in series with a ... ?

    Yeah, that's what I meant by PDP. I'm guessing it would be easier to match the flowrate of the existing triplex with another positive displacement pump as opposed to a centrifugal pump. I wasn't thinking specifically of a progressive cavity pump but I was curious if anyone had any thoughts on...

    Triplex pump in series with a ... ?

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out the feasibility of addressing this particular problem. I am far from an expert when it comes to pumps so thank you in advance for putting up with any stupid questions. The simplified version is that there is a triplex pump taking fluid from one storage tank...
