MULTI VALVE CONTROL FOR PUMPS

Abstract: a pump comprising a fluid end comprising a bellows housing having an interior volume, a power end, a reciprocating element, a bellows disposed at least partially within the bellows housing and dividing the interior volume of the bellows housing into a first volume interior to the bellows and a second volume exterior to the bellows, suction valve(s) fluidly coupled to the second volume of the bellows housing. and discharge valve(s) fluidly coupled to the second volume of the bellows housing. the suction valve(s), the discharge valve(s), or both the suction valve(s) and the discharge valve(s) comprise a redundant valve including at least two of said valves, such that, during normal operation, one of the at least two said valves of the redundant valve is open/online while another of the at least two said valves of the redundant valve is closed/offline.
