Performance Pulsation ControlDischarge Dampeners

We put performance in our products

Why Discharge Dampeners?

• Pump & piping system vibrations lead to equipment failure and unsafe conditions

• Dampens high & low frequency pulsation energies

• Maintains required pressure & flow profiles

• Increases pump and fluid end life

• Decreases system operating costs & down time

DischargeDampener

Discharge Dampener Types

• Accumulator – Typically applied to maintain proper flow

• Gas Charged – Appendage and flow-through stylesusing bladders or cartridges to control pulsation

• Maintenance Free – Flow through designs capable of dampening wide ranges of flow and acceleration-induced pulsations

Accumulator vs. Dampener

Accumulator Dampener

Valves prone to clogging and subsequent adverse operation

or bladder damage

Clear fluid path reduces potential for debris to clog passage

Dampeners – Gas Charged

• Reduced footprint/minimal weight

• Operates with fixed pre-charge pressure

• Wide pressure range performance – up to 15kpsi

• Broad material and volume options

• Top repairable for “no-removal” maintenance

Dampener - Maintenance Free

• Two Types – Reactive and Cellular• Reactive - Pumped liquid media reacts with

the system to reduce pulsations – no moving parts

• Cellular – Nitrogen-filled microcell elastomer element reduces pulsations – no charging

• Virtually eliminates acceleration pressure losses

• Improves rig safety

Maintenance-Free Reactive Discharge Dampener

Dampener - Reactive

Dampener - Reactive

• Enhanced Safety/Lower Maintenance – No charging required

• Optimal pulsation control over variable pressure ranges & pulsation frequencies

• Dampens flow and acceleration pulsations

• Increased pump and system life

• Improved MWD signal detection

• Reduced pump room hydraulic noise

• Temperature accommodations: -20⁰F to 650 ⁰F
