Premium Dampeners for Pulsation Mitigation
flowguard-pulsation-damper-dampener
Pulsation Dampeners (often referred to as dampers) are hydro-pneumatic devices designed to remove pulsations, vibrations, and noise caused by positive displacement pumps in fluid systems.

Using pulsation dampeners on positive displacement pumped systems will result in improved instrument readings, increased pump life, lower maintenance costs, and lower running costs. They eliminate the possibility of pipe fracture caused by vibration and safeguard personnel from the risk of leaks.

Flowguard Pulsation Dampeners

Ensure a continuous, steady flow
Remove pressure fluctuations and surges
Reduce overload on pump motors and gearboxes in long runs of pipe
Stop pipe vibration & shaking
Reduce noise
Mitigate pump over-delivery
Prevent cavitation caused by poor suction conditions, long suction lines, etc.

Principles of Operation

Flowguard Pulsation Dampeners operate by employing a small volume of gas, usually Nitrogen, contained within a flexible membrane fitted inside a non-corrosive shell. Each time a pulse comes from the pump, part of the pulse goes into the dampener and the gas is compressed slightly. As the flow decreases the pulse stored in the dampener will be pushed back into the line. The result is a smooth flow which will keep pressure fluctuations within the required limits (level of dampening).

Designed Efficiency

Superior, uncomplicated, and efficient designs ensure levels of performance unmatched by traditional adapted hydraulic accumulators. Their basic, yet rugged, construction makes them economically priced and easy to maintain.

Exceptionally Durable

Our standard housings are made of non-corrosive 316 stainless steel, polypropylene, or of special alloys like titanium, Hastelloy, Monel, etc. The membrane is available in 10 different types of rubber or PTFE (Teflon) bellows or diaphragm.

Broad Range to Fit Your Needs

Our wide range of FlowGuard pulsation dampeners meet most pressure requirements) from 10 bar150 psi to 1034 bar15, 000 psi and may be custom made to meet any specification or a particular duty requirement.

Certified High Quality

Designed and manufactured to the highest standards, Flowguard pulsation dampeners conform to internationally recognized pressure vessel codes and may be supplied with full material certification (ASME Coded) if required.

Superior Versatility - Without the Hassle
surgetek-zero-maintenance-pulsation-dampener
Pulsation Management

CoorsTek understands severe-service fluid handling systems. Partnering with design, facility, and maintenance engineers, we are able to optimize system productivity prolonging product and equipment life. We offer a wide range of pulsation dampening and stabilizing equipment to extend equipment life and reduce unscheduled maintenance.

Zero-Maintenance (ZM-Series) pulsation dampeners work well in a wide variety of systems and pressure ranges. Unlike gas-charged units, no adjustments are needed when system pressures or surge levels change. Their beveled connection allows units to be welded directly inline eliminating flange costs and potential flange leaks.

Advanced Performance

ZM-Series pulsation dampeners reduce pulsation over a variable operating range. Their stationary guides force the pulsating flow of fluid through a spherical shell. The spinning mass of media creates a system-smoothing effect dampening surges from the amplified source.

Our standard ZM-series stabilizers are constructed with durable carbon steel. CoorsTek Engineered Products offers special corrosion resistance utilizing exotic materials for hostile environments and applications. Contact our severe-service experts for more information

Eliminate Water Hammer Conditions Effectively and Reliably
surgetek-rd-water-hammer-eliminate
Pulsation mitigation experts for over five decades

CoorsTek engineers thoroughly understand the causes of water hammer conditions and how to effectively, efficiently, and reliably mitigate this problem to extend the life of valves, meters, control instrumentation, and gauges.

Water Hammer occurs when moving fluid reverses due to a quick closing valve or sudden pump shutdown. The fluid is forced to stop forward motion and reverse direction creating a powerful and destructive propagating wave within your piping system.
