A back pressure inducer and check valve is disclosed for use with a fluid system having inlet passageway, an outlet passageway and in which fluid flows from the inlet and to the outlet passageway. The back pressure inducer comprises a valve seat secured to the system and having a fluid port fluidly between the inlet and outlet passageways. A valve member is movable between a closed and open position to variably open the fluid port while a spring urges the valve member towards its closed position. Cooperating conical surfaces on the valve member and valve seat form an annular passageway when the valve member is in its open position to produce controlled pressure drops between the inlet and outlet conduit over a wide range of fluid flow rates.

Back pressure inducer

Control apparatus 24 for use with a pressure-flow compensated variable displacement pump assembly 10 for saving energy by limiting the power output of the pump 12 to the load requirements, or to the pump drive capacity, comprising a pressure regulated variable orifice means 52 through which the pumped fluid to load flows, the orifice means being responsive to changes in pressure of the pumped fluid from the pump assembly to vary inversely the effective area of the orifice means, the flow compensator 28 of the pump assembly functioning to hold the pressure drop across the orifice means constant so that the flow across the orifice means also varies inversely with the pressure to limit to a preselected value the horsepower supplied by the pump assembly to load.
