PLAST-O-MATIC PDS Pulsation Dampeners/Surge Suppressors

Descriptions of PLAST-O-MATIC PDS

• HOW IT WORKS:
  1. Pulsation Dampener and Surge Suppressor will steady a pulsing flow caused by diaphragm pumps, piston pumps, peristaltic pumps and other quick flow interrupting equipment. When used properly, quick pulsating flows will be greatly reduced preventing a number of flow control problems.
  2. Pulsation dampening provides the added benefit of smoothing the output supplied by many types of pumps, especially double diaphragm pumps. The PDS will steady a vibrating pointer of a pressure gauge or flow meter under flowing conditions. This provides a steady, uninterrupted supply to points of use, which will greatly enhance system productivity, prolong pump life, and prevent splashing and foaming.
  3. Water Hammer Arrestor When used properly, water hammer will be greatly reduced and prevent pipe vibration and leaking connections, damage to valves and filters, ruptured tanks and other equipment damage, as per the Plumbing and Drainage Institute Standard PDI-WH 201.
• FUNCTIONS:
  1. Pulsation Dampener smooths pump flow
  2. Surge Suppressor absorbs shocks and vibrations
  3. Water Hammer Arrestor eliminates dangerous pressure spikes from quick closing valves
  4. Inlet Stabilizer enhances pump performance and longevity
  5. Accumulator releases stored fluid during unwanted pressure drops
  6. Expansion Tank protects system from thermal volume increases
• DESIGN FEATURES:
  1.Large inlet improves response
  2. Inlet screen protects bladder with minimal flow obstruction
  3. Dual seal channels protect against air and system leaks
  4. Top quality thermoplastics and elastomers resist chemical attack,
  protect system purity
  5. No wetted metal parts
  6. Up to 150 PSI working pressure (excluding pressure spikes)
