If you have got an Air operated double diaphragm pump in your
system, odds are you might be experiencing some sort of pulsation resulting in
the rattling & vibration movement in the pipes and system? A pulsation
dampener may be a great choice for AODD pump to get a steady flow.
WHAT DOES A PULSATION DAMPENER DO?
Pulsation dampeners absorb the power
from the pulse wave created by a diaphragm pump, more like a twitch absorber in
a vehicle. Absorbing these pulse waves protects pipe welds and supports the
system components from damage due to emphasis or excess movement.
HOW DOES A PULSATION DAMPENER WORK?
As the pulsating flow enters the
dampener vessel, the air pocket trapped above the fluid absorbs up to 80% - 89%
of the pulsation, allowing a laminar or smooth flow downstream the dampener.
A pulsation dampener is a device
that stores energy & it has a pre-set charge that it can use to absorb
shocks to the system on which it is installed. This subtracts shocks can
aid systems, especially piping systems, in dealing with pulses, vibrations,
water hammering & fluctuations in pressure levels. This process can help develop
the longevity of the equipment in the system.
WHERE ARE PULSATION DAMPENERS COMMONLY USED?
Pulsation dampeners are commonly
used anywhere an diaphragm pump discharges flow in an
unsteady manner, and where the pulsation may result in damage to the piping
system. Diaphragm pumps typically advantages from a pulsation dampener. The different
types of pulsation dampener used are typically defined by where they are placed
in the system, and what they need to do.
For
example, "pulsation dampeners" are placed on the discharge of the
pump, "inlet stabilizers" are on placed before suctioning of the pump,
& an accumulator or "surge suppressor" is used next to a valve or other devices that brake the flow in a system.
