摘要 |
An apparatus for pumping fluid at a substantially constant flow rate, is disclosed. The apparatus contains three transducers which couple one hydraulic fluid to another fluid while preventing contact with said other fluid. The apparatus also contains a timing device for continuously and sequentially withdrawing hydraulic fluid from the first fluid transducer while simultaneously pumping hydraulic fluid to the second fluid transducer, thereafter withdrawing hydraulic fluid from the second fluid transducer while simultaneously pumping hydraulic fluid to the third fluid transducer means, and thereafter withdrawing hydraulic fluid from the third fluid transducer. The timing means preferably includes a plurality of hydraulic cylinders and pistons, and a cam assembly.
