Abstract
A plunger actuated valve system is provided. The plunger actuated valve system includes a discharge valve, a stem extending from the discharge valve, and a suction valve coupled with the stem. The suction valve can be operable to abut against a plunger as the plunger translates in a first direction such that the suction valve is in a closed configuration. The suction valve includes a latching component operable to abut against a catch surface of the plunger when the plunger translates in a second direction opposite of the first direction such that the suction valve translates in the second direction.
Claims20
A plunger actuated valve comprising:
- a discharge valve;
- a stem extending from the discharge valve;
- and
- a suction valve coupled with the stem, the suction valve operable to abut against a plunger as the plunger translates in a first direction such that the suction valve is in a closed configuration,
- the suction valve including a latching component operable to abut against a catch surface of the plunger when the plunger translates in a second direction opposite the first direction such that the suction valve translates in the second direction.
A system comprising:
- a plunger operable to translate in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction;
- and
- a plunger actuated valve apparatus including:
- a discharge valve;
- a stem extending from the discharge valve;
- a suction valve coupled with the stem, the suction valve operable to abut against a plunger as the plunger translates in the first direction such that the suction valve is in a closed configuration,
- the suction valve including a latching component operable to abut against a catch surface of the plunger when the plunger translates in the second direction such that the suction valve translates in the second direction.
A method for a plunger actuated valve comprising:
- translating a plunger in a first direction so that the plunger abuts against a suction valve;
- transitioning the suction valve to a closed configuration and a discharge valve to an open configuration as the suction valve translates in the first direction with the plunger;
- translating the plunger in a second direction opposite the first direction;
- abutting, when the plunger translates in the second direction, a latching component against a catch surface of the plunger such that the suction valve translates in the second direction;
- and
- transitioning the suction valve to an open configuration and the discharge valve to a closed configuration as the suction valve translates in the second direction with the plunger.
