<p>A hydraulic pump having spring loaded valves utilizes a spring providing a constant spring force and a spring providing a varying spring force. The varying spring force depending upon the position of the pump piston. The pump suction valve opens after a variable delay relative to the beginning of the piston suction phase when the pressure prevailing in the pump's dead chamber falls below a predetermined value. Abrupt decompression to the dead chamber is therefore avoided resulting in reduced energy consumption and noise level.</p> |
