A Pulsation Damper in the first instance is a safety device, installed to reduce fatigue in the system and therefore reducing the risk of system failure. Increasing the safety of personnel, the environment, equipment & infrastructure.
Pulsation Dampers are also used to reduce pulse and cavitation caused by inconsistent flow on the suction side of the pump. Without a damper in place the effects of cavitation and pulse will resonate throughout the system causing unnecessary wear on the pumps and pipe system as a whole along with reducing its lifespan whilst increasing maintenance interventions and reducing production time.
Pulses caused the pump itself result in pressure & flow fluctuations and contribute to the same additional wear and damage as previously mentioned. Pulse in a system increases noise levels and introduces variation into any dosing or mixing process.
All pumps and compressors create some degree of pulse and Pulsation Dampers are a proven solution.
