| What can I do to lessen the “hammering” on the discharge piping from my mechanically driven diaphragm type chemical feed pump? It looks like its going to break. |
|
| Most of the manufacturers of mechanically driven, diaphragm type chemical feed pumps recommend that you install a pulsation dampener on the discharge line to reduce the excessive vibration and hammering that is caused by the pulsating action of these pumps. The natural pulsating action of these pumps is enough to rupture pipe, fittings or valves and could lead to a potential disaster! |
|
| A pulsation dampener is a pressurized vessel with a elastomeric bladder that acts like a shock absorber and delivers a constant, smooth flow. If you are frequently replacing cracked fittings on the discharge side of your pump, you may want to consider installing a pulsation dampener. Please make sure to check for chemical compatibility when choosing a pulsation dampener. |
