GENERALThe Fluid Kinetics Liquid Pulsation Dampener reduces dis-charge pressure pulsation by approximately 75%. Actual perfor-mance depends on the type of pump, connected piping system,and liquid handled.

The spherical shape is strongest pound-for-pound in pres-sure-containing service.. up to 6000 psi, design pressure isstandard.

Maintenance free, the dampener can be permanentlywelded in the line, saving flange costs and potential flangeleaks. configuration eliminates special support problems.D E S I G NCompletely liquid filled, with no moving pans, this dampenerdoes away with maintenance and gas charging requirements,

The stationary internals guide the incoming flow into a rotat-ing path within the spherical shell. The spinning liquid masscreates a system smoothing effect. viscous drag on the spherewalls and the capacitance effect of the relatively large volumelocated next to the pump, further aid to dampen pressurepulsation.CONSTRUCTIONThe dampener is all steel construction, with no bladders to fill orreplace, and virtually no temperature limitation. nozzlesbeveled for weld, the unit becomes a part of the piping.

Carbon steel construction is standard, but other materialsavailable.

APPLICATIONAll power pumps produce pulsation. Whether or not the pulsa-tion is severe enough to create problems depends upon manysystem variables. A few of these variables are the fluid handled,the type of pump and the pump speed. As a general guide,Fluid Kinetics engineers recommend using the Liquid PulsationDampener on any multi-plunger pump service having a dis-charge pressure over 500 psig, or on any service, regardless ofpressure, whether pulsation problems are expected and amaintenance-free device is required.SELECTIONMake the model selection from the performance charts basedon the type of pump and flow rate. Choose the appropriateseries based on the desired design pressure and identify thesize and type of connection required.

For special applications or special construction requirements,contact your Fluid Kinetics representative or factory specialist. Typ ica l i ns ta l l a t i on o f F lu id K ine t i cs L iqu id Pu lsa t ion Dampeners on

CONTROL OF PUMP SUCTION CONDITIONSOn many power pump systems, suction conditions are far fromideal. For positive protection against cavitation, entrained gasand other suction side problems, install a Fluid Kinetics ModelSSC Stabilizer/Separator and Model SSCV Vapor Dome Sta-bilizer/Separator. Ask for Bulletin 402 and 403, giving completeinformation on this problem-solving product.
