The function of the suction air chamber in a reciprocating pump is to . A. Reduce the starting power of the pump. B. Storing liquid helps with self-priming. C. Reduce flow rate and discharge pressure pulsation. D. Minimize suction pressure pulsations to prevent cavitation. Hint: An air intake chamber can reduce flow pulsations in most of the suction pipeline (except for the section from the air chamber to the pump’s suction inlet), thereby reducing suction pressure pulsations caused by inertial head; however, it has no effect on the flow rate and discharge pressure at the outlet end.
