Class Information
Number: 417/56
Name: Pumps > Drilled well free piston-type pump
Description: Apparatus in which the pump has a piston which reciprocates within an elongated cylinder of uniform cross-sectional dimensions which is adapted to be positioned within a drilled well, said piston serving to separate the cylinder into respective motor and pump chambers, means providing either a restricted or a controlled flow path which provides communication between the pump and motor chambers (i.e., between opposite sides of the piston), the induction of at least a portion of the fluid to be pumped flowing serially through the motor chamber, said restricted or controlled flow path, and thence into said pump chamber; motive fluid being subsequently applied to said motor chamber to drive said piston on an eduction stroke.
