Zusammenfassung:A rotary sub-assembly for pumping of fluid is provided. The sub-assembly includes a hollow body defining a cavity having a longitudinal axis, the body comprising a cavity wall with at least two ports passing therethrough. At least a portion of the cavity has a non-circular cross-section such that a first constant or varying radial distance from the longitudinal axis to inwardly-offset segments of the cavity wall surrounding the two ports is less than a second constant or varying radial distance from the longitudinal axis to second segments of the cavity wall spaced apart from the two ports. A rotatable plunger is housed in the cavity. The plunger is sized and shaped such that a side wall of the plunger can establish a liquid-tight seal against the inwardly-offset segments of the cavity wall, but does not establish a liquid-tight seal with the second segments of the cavity wall spaced apart from the two ports.
