WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PULSATION EQUIPMENT?
-
PULSATION OR CAVITATION IS CAUSED BY THE VARIATION OF FLUID MOVEMENT WITHIN A CONTAINED SYSTEM. SINCE FLUID IS NON-COMPRESSIBLE THE ENERGY PRODUCED BY THIS PULSATION OR CAVITATION MUST BE COMPENSATED FOR. WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF PULSATION EQUIPMENT INTO A SYSTEM THIS ENERGY NOW HAS A PLACE TO EXPEND ITSELF. WITHOUT PULSATION EQUIPMENT INVOLVED IN YOUR PUMPING SYSTEM THE PULSATION OR CAVITATION THAT IS PRESENT CAN LEAD TO THE FOLLOWING:
- INCREASED PUMP MAINTENANCE COSTS DUE TO PREMATURE PLUNGER AND VALVE FAILURE
- LOSS OF OPTIMUM PUMP PERFORMANCE
- INCREASED DOWN TIME FOR REPAIRS OF WEAKENED PIPING SYSTEMS
