Abstract
A plunger pump includes a piston which is driven for reciprocatory motion and associated with a check valve. A space within a cylinder is partitioned by a piston 1p into a first space A which communicates with a discharge port 1ep and a second space B which communicates with a suction port 1ip. To reduce the peak value of a fluctuation in the suction pressure, a third port 2ip communicating with the first space A is added, and the suction port 1ip and the third port 2ip are connected in common to a suction line Pin through check valves 20 and 19, respectively. The first space A has a diameter greater than the diameter of the piston while the second space B has a diameter which is comparable to the diameter of the piston and hence is less than that of the first space A. On the forward stroke of the piston, a braking liquid is drawn into the second space from the suction line Pin. On the return stroke of the piston, a braking liquid is drawn into the first space A from the suction line Pin, and a braking liquid flows from the second space B to the first space A through a center opening in the piston. On the forward stroke of the piston, the braking liquid in the first space A is disc…
