Abstract
A high-pressure plunger pump assembly, in particular for working pressures above 2000 bar, includes a housing, a cylinder received in the housing and defining a working space which has an expanded area along a section thereof for receiving a sleeve therein, and a plunger slidably moveable in the working space of the cylinder and in the sleeve and being suitably operated by a drive for reciprocating movement. The sleeve has one end closer to the plunger drive and formed with an annular flange. A suction valve communicates with the cylinder for admitting fluid from a suction chamber into the working space, and a pressure valve communicates with the cylinder for expelling fluid from the working space during a pressure stroke of the plunger, with a seal being positioned in a transitional area from the annular flange to the cylinder between the working space and the suction chamber.
