A debris evacuation apparatus and method evacuates debris in a pumping system
that
forms between the plunger exterior and barrel interior. The apparatus has at least
one seal and one groove located south of the seal, with the seal blocking northward
travel of debris and directing it to the groove. Ports within the groove permit
debris to enter the debris evacuation apparatus. Interior to the debris evacuation
apparatus, the entering debris will become mixed with pumped fluid, and will be
drawn out of the pumping system with the pumped fluid. The pumped fluid passing
through the debris evacuation apparatus will be caused to rotate by a screw-in
insert located at a south portion of the debris evacuation apparatus, utilizing
a plurality of angled veins surrounding a closed center section located at a north
end of the screw-in insert.
