Abstract
A positive displacement pump comprising a housing which defines a pump inlet chamber in fluid communication with a pump inlet port and a pump outlet chamber in fluid communication with a pump outlet port. Disposed within the housing is a wobble plate which is adapted to pump fluid from the inlet chamber to the outlet chamber. Selectively insertable into and removable from within the housing is a modular pump component. The modular pump component is adapted to modify the operational characteristics of the pump when inserted into the pump housing.
