What is the function of the pump’s damper?
Thread Content
Dear experts in the field, I’m a beginner seeking help. Why is a damper installed at the inlet of a piston pump, and what is its function?
This is a positive displacement pump; the pulsations in the fluid can cause problems such as pipeline vibration, and adding dampers can help reduce some of these pulsations
It is generally used in pumps with fluctuating pressures to act as a buffer and reduce the impact of pulses on the pipes or system
Piston pumps operate in a reciprocating manner, which results in pulsations in the fluid being transported; dampers are used to eliminate these pulsations
Are there any standards for dampers?
