Low profile positive displacement pump system

A high pressure piston pump base, comprising:

• a main body including an upper surface, wherein the upper surface is suitable for coupling to a mounting flange of a gasoline powered engine;
• a heat deflecting means attached to the main body for deflecting heat produced by the engine away from the pump base;
• and
• a central cavity being of a size and shape suitable for retaining a high pressure pump, wherein the cavity is of a size and shape suitable for supporting the pump.

A low profile positive displacement pumping system comprising:

• a gasoline powered engine with a rotational drive shaft and a mounting flange;
• a positive displacement pump having at least one reciprocating piston with a driven end, the piston being disposed such that a central piston axis is perpendicular to the rotational drive shaft;
• at least one eccentric surface fixed to the drive shaft, wherein the eccentric surface is in contact with a bearing which is in contact with the driven end, and wherein each revolution of the shaft causes each piston to complete a stroke;
• and
• a base including an upper surface, a heat deflecting shield and a cavity located beneath the upper surface suitable for supporting the pump, wherein the mounting flange of the engine bolts directly onto the base, and wherein the base aligns each eccentric surface with each driven end, and wherein the heat deflecting shield is situated adjacent to the engine when the engine is bolted directly onto the base.

A low profile positive displacement pumping system comprising:

• a power source with a rotational drive shaft and a mounting flange;
• a positive displacement pump having at least one reciprocating piston with a driven end, the piston being disposed such that a central cylindrical axis of the piston is perpendicular to the rotational drive shaft;
• at least one eccentric surface fixed to the drive shaft, wherein the eccentric surface is in contact with the driven end or with a bearing mounted on the eccentric surface, and wherein each revolution of the shaft causes each piston to complete a stroke;
• and
• a base including an upper surface, a cavity located beneath the upper surface suitable for supporting the pump, wherein the mounting flange of the power source bolts directly onto the base, and wherein the base aligns each eccentric surface with each driven end.
