The cylinder head 6, which also forms the delivery valve, is similarly fitted with a .liner 15 and a spiral channel 14 for the circulation of cooling-water which is supplied by a pipe 12 and escapes by an annular passage 13. A sleeve 8, attached to the head 6, works in a stuffing-box 7 in a hood 10, and a spring 11 presses the head 6 to its seat. The pump piston is formed in two concentric parts 25, 24. The outer part 25 is fitted with piston rings, and is formed with a seating for the part 24, which is allowed a certain amount of relative movement, limited by a stop ring 27, and serves as the admission valve. Passages 32 allow gas to pass through the valve 24. The upper faces of the parts 24, 25 are made conical, and the liner 15 is made to fit them, so that water lying in the cavity of the valve 24 is put into motion at the end of the stroke without " hammer." The connecting-rod is attached to the valve 24 by pins 29, which are given a certain amount of freedom in order to allow the valve to take a fair seat. Water is injected into the gas, as it is being compressed, by the action, of a plunger 16 formed in one with the liner 15 and working in a barrel 19 fixed to the piston or valve 24. The lower end of the barrel is connected to a supply of water by a flexible pipe and is fitted with a suction valve 22. A delivery valve 23 delivers the water through a passage 18 in the plunger and through perforations 17 into the gas.
