Abstract
A linear pump includes a centrally-disposed drive system and a plunger having a center portion coupled to the drive system, and first and second fluid ends disposed at the first and second ends of the plunger. The pump further includes first and second packing seals each being disposed about the plunger to isolate fluids within the respective first and second fluid ends. First and second adapters are disposed at an interface between the drive system and respective first and second fluid ends, each adapter incorporating an angled deflector configured to deflect and redirect high-pressure fluids escaping past the respective packing seal toward the drive system.
