About Pulsation Dampeners

Pulsation dampeners (accumulators, surge suppressors) are used to control and minimize the pulsations that result from a pressurized system’s stroking action. They increase system efficiency, performance, and pump life; decrease maintenance costs and down-time; and protect pipes, meters, valves and instrumentation from pulsation, vibration, and hydraulic shock. Most pulsation dampeners use a bladder or bellows to separate the process fluid from a compressible gas. During the pump’s discharge stroke, fluid pressure displaces the bladder or bellows and compresses the trapped gas. During the following cycle, the momentary interruption of fluid flow causes the compressed gas to expand, forcing the bladder or bellows to push the accumulated fluid back into the discharge line.
