What Is a Pulse Damper

Pulsation dampeners (also called pulsation dampers) are used for stabilizing the flow and the pressure in circuits with volumetric or dosing pumps. They are used in a wide range of applications. A pulsation dampener is a container with gas inside, normally dry nitrogen.

What does a pulse dampener do?

The pulsation dampener serves to reduce pulsation produced in operation and to assure stable discharge flow and pressure. When pulsations occur with pump operation, it will result in the pressure in Chamber B being greater than that in Chamber A.

What is pressure pulsation dampening?

Also known as attenuator, the high pressure pulsation dampener was designed as a component that minimizes water pulsations, pipeline vibrations and pressure fluctuations in the waterjet system. The dampener creates a volume in the system which absorbs the pulse waves.
