In-line dampener type Flexodamp FD
Characteristics of the flexible in-line pulsation dampener
This model of the Flexodamp pulsation dampeners is characterised by its ‘In-Line’ assembly, i.e. it is part of the discharge stroke at the pump outlet. In this case, the FD version is characterised by being a flexible mount since both the inner pipe through which the pumped product circulates and the outer pipe that acts as an air chamber are flexible rubber pipes. This design has been developed by our brand of pulsation dampeners that provides great advantages for certain applications.
Not only does it perform pulsation damping functions, but it also provides effective vibration isolation between the pump and rigid pipe of the system
Advantages
- Suitable for liquids containing suspended solids.
- Suitable for viscous liquids.
- High level of efficiency.
- Also acts as a vibration isolator between the pump and the rigid tubing and as flexible tubing on the impulsion side (always recommended by pulsating flow pump manufacturers).
- Sanitary version available.
Disadvantages
- Manual adjustment of working pressure.
- Excessive adjustment of working pressure leads to other problems.
- Can be manufactured in limited range of materials.
- Working range of pressure and temperature more limited than in other systems.
