Pulsation dampeners reduce pressure fluctuation found in normal diaphragm and piston pump operation and can help eliminate material foaming, material pulsation, hydraulic shock or material splashing.
Diaphragm pumps of any type have at least two points in their cycle where they provide no pressure or flow to a process. The unwanted result of this pressure fluctuation can often be material foaming, material pulsation, hydraulic shock or material splashing. While traditional pulsation dampeners can help reduce unwanted pulsation and other problems, they also require operator intervention and adjustments.
Features
- Fracture-Resistant Fluid Inlet: Minimizes the chance of cracking the main vessel's housing while threading
- Bladder: Flexes as fluid pulses from the pump
- Enlarged Air Chamber: Provides superior smoothing of fluid pressure
- Flange Bolt Fasteners: Make assembly faster and easier and insures a leak-free seal.
- Pressure Gauge: Provides easy visibility for convenient process monitoring
- Pressure Relief Valve: Minimizes the possibility of vessel over-pressurization (above 125 PSI)
- Grounding Lug: Provides convenient ground connection
- Air Tamer Auto Adjust Assembly: Unlike other air adjusters, Air-Tamer has no lip seals along its piston to wear out, and all moving parts are encased inside the dampener housing
- Bleed Port: Can be plumbed to drain off material in the event of bladder failure
- Bladder Guard: Prevents damage or rupture of the bladder
