Introduction:

Due to the design of positive displacement pumps, small pressure spikes are caused during each rotation. In certain operations, these spikes can cause accelerated wear or damage to the pump or downstream components. The installation of a pulsation dampener is the best practice to reduce pressure fluctuations

Pulsation Dampener Benefits:

• Produces smooth, consistent flow

• Protects downstream components (e.g., regulator, unloader, relief valve)

• Reduces water hammer • Improved performance at low rpm
