DUAL INLET TURBINE PUMP

摘要

A pump for providing a flow of fluid from a fluid source to a fluid destination. The pump includes a rotatable turbine, a first inlet port in fluid communication with the turbine, a first outlet port in fluid communication with the first inlet port, a second inlet port in fluid communication with the turbine, and a second outlet port in fluid communication with the second inlet port. The turbine pumps fluid from the fluid source into the first inlet port and out of the first inlet port into a reservoir. The turbine pumps fluid in the reservoir into the second inlet port and out of the second outlet port to the fluid destination.

1. A pump for pumping fluid from a fluid source to a fluid destination, the pump comprising:
a first inlet port adapted to be in fluid communication with the fluid source; a turbine having a central axis, the turbine adapted to rotate about the central axis, the turbine being in fluid communication with the first inlet port; a first outlet port in fluid communication with the turbine and the first inlet port, a first fluid flow path extending between the first inlet port and the first outlet port, the turbine adapted to cause fluid to flow through the first fluid flow path from the first inlet port to the first outlet port; a second inlet port adapted to be in fluid communication with fluid discharged from the first outlet port, the turbine being in fluid communication with the second inlet port; a second outlet port in fluid communication with the turbine and the second inlet port, a second fluid flow path extending between the second inlet port and the second outlet port, the second outlet port adapted to be placed in fluid communication with the fluid destination, the turbine adapted to cause fluid to flow through the second fluid flow path from the second inlet port to the second outlet port.
