Pulsation Dampeners

Pulsation Dampener is a device that can reduce or eliminate the intermittent gaps left in a pressurized system at the time of system's discharge stroke.Mainly pulsation dampeners provide us a variety of applications.Pulsation dampener can be used in virtually all pressurized devices to protect hardware, decrease maintenance costs, decrease down time, increase performance, and increase efficiency.It also used in electronic or mechanical devices that work underwater or in other pressurized environments.Drilling pulsation dampener is one of the main example of pulsation dampener.

A pulsation damper is typically located immediately downstream of a reciprocating, positive displacement pump. The Dampers prevent potential pipe hammer or vibration, reduce the load on the pump and minimize or eliminate pulsations.A pulsation dampener is an accumulator with a set pre-charge that absorbs system shocks while minimizing pulsations, pipe vibration, water hammering and pressure fluctuations. By minimizing pulsation in the system components like regulators, Solenoids, Sensors, etc., Pumps will see decreased wear and have longer life. Pulsation dampeners are tied directly onto the discharge manifold or plumbed immediately downstream of the pump.
