Q2-Balanced Pressure Pump (Tapered Barrel)
Design
The Q2 Balanced Pressure Pump is a tapered barrel pump which balances the pressure below and above the plunger near the top of the upstroke of the sucker rod pump. The design feature eliminates the need for the plunger to compress the fluid-gas mixture during the downstroke which yields several benefits. It is available in an RH pump configuration in several materials and coatings.
