When piston seals are worn and cylinder pressures fall to insufficient levels, air can enter triplex cylinders and lead to partial filling. This in turn results in poor pump performance and increased wear. However, a clear understanding of how air invades the suction stroke and what happens to it during discharge shows how pump auxiliaries and other measures can solve the problem. Read on for improved triplex operation.
