Abstract:

This invention provides a method by which the performance of reciprocating NMPV (No-Moving-Parts-Valve) micropumps can be optimized for a given choice of valve design, e.g. for diffuser/nozzle valves, rectifier valves etc. The method can more generally be used to design and produce NMPV micropumps with structures optimized for maximal pump performance. The method can further be used to design and construct NMPV pumps significantly smaller in size than those currently available to the art without significant loss in pump performance.
