Abstract
A pump includes a power end and a fluid end coupled to the power end. The power end includes a plunger, and the fluid end includes a crossbore in selective fluid communication with inlet and outlet bores. A suction valve controls fluid communication between the inlet bore and the crossbore, and a discharge valve controls fluid communication between the outlet bore and the crossbore. An actuation device is used to move the discharge valve between an open position and a closed position. A position sensor measures a position of the plunger. A pressure sensor measures a pressure of the crossbore, the inlet bore, or the outlet bore. A controller operates the discharge valve based on data from at least one of the position sensor or the pressure sensor.
