Flow Control / Pressure Dampeners - Why a "pressure damper"? Because pressure dampers are used to dampen pulsation. Pulsation is measured and seen as a repeated chenge in pressure. Pressure pulastion dampers adress pressure amplitude at frequency. The characteristics of a pulsation damper have to be designed to respond to the height and fall of pressure at the frequency of the change. A flow through, in and out, pressure damper intercepts the pressure transients so it can respond to its dampening with maximum efficiency and minimum cost.

Flow fluctuation suppression devices aka for "pulsing systems" may be called reactive or non-reactive passive in pressure response. Intrinsically when a proportion of head change due to mass acceleration is prevented from occurring by the application of the softness, or cushion, of a liquid accumulator there is still a residual fluctuation. The head change or pressure change that is still residual travels at 1400 meters per second away from the pump, until it meets a point of reflection. Where the distance to the reflection point is say 700 meters, the wave will return in 1 second. This pressure spike (liquid force) will impose a system response frequency of one hertz on the piping. To also address transient and spikes as detailed above, along with the softening effect of accumulators a PulseGuard dual purpose design will be essential to your satisfaction.

 

(1) Pulsation dampeners for peristaltic and hose pumps handle sludge and slurry with a tubular bladder, straight trough flow flow ensures no blockage from solid particulate.
Liquid inside the bladder chemical metering compatibility saves the need for special metal dampner body materials.
PTFE diaphragm dampeners match high pressure diaphragm pumps, with double layer "sandwich" diaphragms , and secondary containment sealing options.
Stainless housings containing gas "bladders" for dampening pressures and flows through 30.000 psi (2000 bar)

(2) Pulsation dampening choice made easy to select from by icon buttons . Covering maintenance free "bladderless" dampers of 6 types depending on frequency and pressure amplitude reduction required.
Flexible membrane damping for volumetric flow smoothing in hydrocarbon, toxic chemical, and water based systems. Choose by seeing them working in animation.

A WaveGuard Pulse Damper works by accelerating the pressure wave and exploading it into a large volume of only slightly compressible liquid. THE WAVEGUARD PulseGuard A "triplex" PUMP makes 6 pulsations per revolution. The CAVGUARD by PulseGuard A CavGuard prevents cavitation by temporarily generating bubbles. Elasticity of the bubbles provides storage volume to fill the intermittent "suction" strokes of the pump. Centrifugal pump provides 110% continuous flow. Incomplete filling of the "suction" strokes of "reciprocating" pumps is the cause of elevated discharge PRESSURE PULSATION. FLEXORBER by PulseGuard A Pump Pulsation Damper on the pump suction to prevent gas bubble generation, and fall in pumping volumetric efficiency, and the discharge "header" to intercept "velocity jump shock" will not only make the systems controllable, but also make it possible to increase pump RPM producing higher flow from the same investment with longer life and less "down time". A "triplex" PUMP makes 6 pulsations per revolution. The gear box drive to each diaphragm pump head connects to the next by a shaft offset of 120 degrees. NOVO-MULTIPLEX-HP Process Metering Modular pumpe Many resonant frequencies will need interception by "Flow-Through" Dampers to guarantee pumping performance.

Please refer to the factory for selection. Piston "A" Piston "B" Piston "C" Discharge THERE ARE 6 PULSES PER REVOLUTION BECAUSE OF THE 60 DEGREE OVERLAP Pump oscillograph type plots generally represent FLOW. The relationship between flow and pressure is a square law. Pressure plots are therefore more "exagerated". Damper "before and after" plots often do not come from data capture at KHz. PRESSURE PULSATION VELOCITY JUMP SHOCK VELOCITY JUMP SHOCK PEAK PRESSURE depends on tha amount of lost motion caused by fluid compressibility and volumetric efficiency. THEORETICAL PRESSURE CHANGE WHEN CONNECTION ROD IS 4 x CRANKSHAFT RADIUS ACTUAL NORMAL PRESSURE CHANGE BECAUSE LIQUIDS ARE COMPRESSIBLE CAUSING A FALL IN VOLUMETRIC EFFICIENCY DISCHARGE PRESSURE DISCHARGE PRESSURE Pulsation Dampers: Allow for Overlap of One Displacement to the Next To intercept transient pressure spikes at x y and z a "flow through" damper WILL BE ESSENTIAL.
