NON-POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT PUMPS (engine fuel-injection pumps F02M; ion pumps H01J41/12; electrodynamic pumps H02K44/02)

Description

Non-positive-displacement pumps that operate by converting mechanical energy into fluid motion through dynamic principles rather than trapping fixed fluid volumes. This subclass encompasses centrifugal pumps, axial-flow pumps, mixed-flow pumps, and jet pumps used for transporting liquids and elastic fluids (gases, vapors) in industrial, agricultural, and utility applications. The classification includes pump designs, components, control systems, and performance characteristics, excluding positive-displacement machines covered under F04C which operate by expanding and contracting sealed chambers.
