mud pump pulsation dampener function manufacturer

Mud Pump Pulsation Dampener is usually installed on the discharge line to reduce the fluctuation of pressure and displacement of the drilling mud pump.

Mud Pump Pulsation Dampener is a pneumatic device built into the outflow line of each UUD pump to dampen the pressure fluctuations resulting from the action of the pump. Although presented as a surge tank, this device is really a device that can be tuned to greatly diminish the output pulsations transmitted downstream from the mud pump. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of the pulsation dampener is a function of both output pump pressure and frequency of the pump pulsations.

All pulsation dampeners utilize one of two methods for mitigating energy produced by reciprocating pumps; compression or exchange. The traditional gas-charged dampeners use a compressible gas cushion, either by a gas over liquid or gas-filled diaphragms, bladders, or cartridge. As the reciprocating pump produces pressure spikes, the gas compresses, thus absorbing the pressure difference and smoothing the pumped media flow. For maintenance free pulsation dampeners, rely on energy exchange. There is a common misconception regarding maintenance free pulsation control devices that the pumped media is compressible enough to absorb the reciprocating pumps’ pressure spikes. This is not true. However, the maintenance free pulsation dampeners work by utilizing the kinetic energy exchange. This kinetic energy exchange can only happen if the pulsation dampener’s volume is large enough to dissipate enough energy to reduce the adverse effects caused by the reciprocating pump. This is why maintenance free pulsation devices require massive volumes to be effective. Sigma Drilling Technologies has developed a pulsation dampening system that utilizes both methods for reducing the harmful effects of positive displacement pumps, both compression and exchange.

The pulsation dampener can be divided into discharge pulsation dampener and Suction Dampener.Discharge pulsation dampener- reduces displacement of pump and fluctuation of pressure.

In order to reduce the pressure and displacement of drilling mud pumps, air bags are usually installed on the discharge pipeline. The suction air bags produced by our company have advanced structure and reliable performance, which can make the mud pump achieve the best suction. The effect is widely used in high-pressure pipelines for petroleum and chemical transportation. It can balance the peak pressure of high-pressure fluid in mud pumps, stabilize the pressure, and reduce losses. This product can also be used as a stabilizer and shock absorber for air extractors.

The mud pump is installed on the discharge line, which can balance the peak pressure of the high pressure fluid of the mud pump, play a role in stabilizing the pressure, reducing losses and ensuring safety, so that the mud pump can achieve the best suction effect.

Drain buffer: Installed at the drain end of pumps and compressors, it can avoid fatigue damage of cylinder pistons, valves, bases and pipelines due to pressure fluctuations, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

Reverse Oscillation: When the head of the water pump reaches a certain height, the reverse oscillation caused by the impact of the fluid into the pump valve will cause the pump to suddenly shut down. A suction air bag is installed to absorb part of the vibration.

This equipment plays an important role as an accessory to Yamada air-operated double diaphragm pumps. The pulsation dampener serves to reduce pulsation produced in operation and to assure stable discharge flow and pressure.

When pulsations occur with pump operation, it will result in the pressure in Chamber Bbeing greater than that in Chamber A. The diaphragm will act as an air cushion and automatically adjust to this pressure change and absorb the pulsations.

This operation will shift the center rod position upwards and allow more air in Chamber Athrough the air inlet, returning the diaphragm to a neutral position. If liquid pressure decreases, air pressure in Chamber Acauses the diaphragm to move downward, shifting shaft location and changing valve position, releasing excess air pressure in Chamber Awhich returns diaphragm to a neutral position. This action causes a reduction in surges and pulsation caused by a air operated double diaphragm pumps

Pulsation dampeners (also called pulsation dampers) are used for stabilizing the flow and the pressure in circuits with volumetric or dosing pumps. They are used in a wide range of applications.

In every pulsation dampener there is a separator element between the gas it is charged with and the liquid of the circuit; its basic function being to avoid the leaking of the gas into the circuit. This separator element is basically made of two kinds of materials: Rubber (NBR, EPDM, FPM, butyl, silicone, etc…) or a thermoplastic material (normally PTFE); although it can also be made in stainless steel.

When a rubber separator element is used, the dampener is called bladder type. If the material is PTFE, we refer to membrane type and bellows type dampeners, depending on the shape of the separator element.

Choosing between different types of dampener depends on characteristics of the circuit like working pressure, temperature and chemical compatibility between the liquid and the material of the separator.

All our pulsation dampenersare made according to the European PED97/23/CE pressure vessels regulations, and their design meets the AD-2000 and ASME VIII Div.1 & 8 codes requirements (“U” stamp pending).

We can supply all of our dampeners with different circuit connection gauges as well as fitted with whatever flange, either screwed on, welded or integrated, to suit the customer’s needs.

Mud pump pulsation dampeneris the mud pump discharge end main component, installs in the hydraulic end discharge pipe one end, plays the stable pressure and the pressure compensation function, the air bag work pressure is the mud pump work pressure 80%.Attention should be paid to the use of air bag, must be the first pressure relief.The mud pump of F500/F800 USES kb-45 air bag, and the mud pump of F1000/F1300/F1600 USES kb-75 air bag.The middle tie rod produced by our company is made of 35CrMo material, which has a smooth surface after chrome plating and fine grinding, greatly improving the wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

Proper installation and use of pulsation dampener can effectively reduce pressure fluctuations in the discharge system, thus achieving a more uniform fluid flow.In order to achieve a high service life of the air bag, always maintain the recommended ratio between the pump pressure and the air bag precharge pressure (generally not more than 2/3 of the pump discharge pressure, the maximum should not exceed 4.5mpa).

2. In the maintenance of air bag, air bag pressure must be zero, the pump pressure must be zero.Cannot rely on the pressure gauge to judge, because the residual pressure is small, the pressure gauge can not be displayed, but this low pressure will also lead to accidents!

For more information about pulsation dampeners, we sat down with Brandon Dalrymple and Nathan Ackeret fromBlacoh Fluid Control(manufacturer of pulsation dampeners, surge suppressors, and inlet stabilizers), and asked them to answer a few of our customers’ most common questions about pulsation dampeners.

Pulsation dampeners absorb the energy from the pulse wave created by a positive displacement pump, much like a shock absorber on a vehicle. Absorbing those pulse waves protects pipe welds and supports, and system components from damage due to pressure or excess movement.

A pulsation dampener creates an area of low pressure in the system with enough volume to absorb the pulsation. The pulsation dampener has a membrane with a "cushion" of compressible gas/air behind it that flexes to absorb the pulse, allowing a laminar flow downstream of the dampener.

Pulsation dampeners are commonly used wherever a positive displacement pump discharges flow in an unsteady manner, and where the pulse is not desired for the piping system. Air operated double diaphragm, metering and hose/peristaltic pumps typically benefit from a pulsation dampener.

The type of pulsation dampener used is typically defined by where they are placed in the system, and what they need to do. For example, "pulsation dampeners" are on the downstream side of the pump, "inlet stabilizers" are on the inlet side of the pump, and an accumulator or "surge suppressor" is used next to a valve or other device that restricts the flow in a system.

This video shows where you would place an inlet stabilizer, and how it is used to reduce the pulsation with an air operated diaphragm pump in suction lift conditions.

If you"re experiencing problems with rattling pipes, intermittent flow, water hammer, or pulsations in your system, don"t ignore it. Take the steps necessary to control these symptoms to prevent system deterioration down the road.
