Performance Pulsation ControlDischarge Dampeners
We put performance in our products
Why Discharge Dampeners?
• Pump & piping system vibrations lead to equipment failure and unsafe conditions
• Dampens high & low frequency pulsation energies
• Maintains required pressure & flow profiles
• Increases pump and fluid end life
• Decreases system operating costs & down time
DischargeDampener
Discharge Dampener Types
• Accumulator – Typically applied to maintain proper flow
• Gas Charged – Appendage and flow-through stylesusing bladders or cartridges to control pulsation
• Maintenance Free – Flow through designs capable of dampening wide ranges of flow and acceleration-induced pulsations
Accumulator vs. Dampener
Accumulator Dampener
Valves prone to clogging and subsequent adverse operation
or bladder damage
Clear fluid path reduces potential for debris to clog passage
Dampeners – Gas Charged
• Reduced footprint/minimal weight
• Operates with fixed pre-charge pressure
• Wide pressure range performance – up to 15kpsi
• Broad material and volume options
• Top repairable for “no-removal” maintenance

Dampener - Maintenance Free
• Two Types – Reactive and Cellular• Reactive - Pumped liquid media reacts with
the system to reduce pulsations – no moving parts
• Cellular – Nitrogen-filled microcell elastomer element reduces pulsations – no charging
• Virtually eliminates acceleration pressure losses
• Improves rig safety
Maintenance-Free Reactive Discharge Dampener
Dampener - Reactive
Dampener - Reactive
• Enhanced Safety/Lower Maintenance – No charging required
• Optimal pulsation control over variable pressure ranges & pulsation frequencies
• Dampens flow and acceleration pulsations
• Increased pump and system life
• Improved MWD signal detection
• Reduced pump room hydraulic noise
• Temperature accommodations: -20⁰F to 650 ⁰F
