Cracked pulsation damper (accumulator) of a reciprocating pump? Please ask an expert to analyze the reasons
Thread Content
It suddenly cracked during use, causing the medium to spill out. I’m not quite sure what caused the damage; please help
Is the air pressure in the damper normal under normal conditions? Is there overpressure in the pump (has the safety valve activated)? It seems that the overpressure caused the damper to crack, and the diaphragm must have also broken as well, which is why the fluid is leaking out.
That’s right; when it gets damaged, there is no significant change in the pump flow rate
