Pulsation Dampener Working Principle
In industrial systems, pressure fluctuations caused by a sudden stop or change of direction of a fluid in a pipeline (e.g. rapid closing of a valve) must be taken into account. This phenomenon may result in piping vibration, noise, or even damage to equipment or piping, which can cause significant issues for the user. A pulsation damper , also known as a water hammer eliminator or buffer, is installed in the piping system near the source of water hammer. It is specifically designed to absorb water hammer and protect the piping system from water hammer pressure and damage to safety and security devices.
