6 GPM - Precharged Pulsation Dampener

This pulsation dampener is designed to absorb the vibration of the pump as the pump pulses back and forth during the process of creating pressure for the fluid stream of your spray gun. Your customer won't feel any vibration in the spray gun, making it comfortable for them to use. It also increases the longevity of the components in your system since they won't be constantly exposed to vibrations. This model is precharged with nitrogen to 450 PSI. It handles a maximum flow rate of 6 GPM, pressure of 3000 PSI, and temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit. The burst strength is 12,000 PSI.

When Should You Have One?

Are you wondering if you need a pulsation dampener or not? Phil Donnelly from our Fix It with Phil Series on YouTube said, "In my opinion, ALL the time!" Watch Phil's video to learn more about pulsation dampeners.

Benefits:

• Eliminates Pump Vibration: Reduces the amount of vibration generated as the pump pulses back and forth during operation. 
• Makes Spray Gun Use More Comfortable: Customers will have an easier time using spray guns since they won't vibrate and will have a smoother flow of fluid.
• Keeps Customers in Your Self-Serve Bays Longer: When using spray guns is comfortable for your customers, they will stay in your bay longer, leading to higher profits.
• Protects Equipment from Damage: Removes excessive vibration that causes increased wear and damage to components in your high-pressure system.
• Reduces Noise: Without vibration, car wash bays and equipment rooms will be much quieter. This creates a better experience for your customers and employees.
• Improved Longevity of High-Pressure System Components: Without damaging vibration, the lifespan of high-pressure system components will be significantly increased.
• Less Downtime Maintenance: The elimination of vibration will help reduce downtime and maintenance intervals because equipment will experience less wear and tear. 
• Smoother Flow: Fluid movement through your high-pressure systems is smoother, leading to consistent results and a better customer experience.

Installation Instructions:

1. Thread this pulsation dampener onto the outlet side of your pump.
2. Install this pulsation dampener with the inlet pointed down. This allows the device to remain cooler during operation and prolongs the life of the bladder.
3. You might want to add thread tape or sealant on the threading to create a more secure fit.

Note: If you plan on keeping a few spare pulsation dampeners on hand, the shelf life of the nitrogen pre-charge is approximately six months. After that, it will need to be recharged.

Caution: When recharging this pulsation dampener, charge it with nitrogen to one-half of the system operating pressure. Do not recharge beyond the rated operating pressure. NEVER use a gas other than nitrogen.

Maintenance Tip:

Once installed, check the nitrogen pre-charge every 3 months. This can be done by attaching a pressure gauge to the valve stem at the top of the pulsation dampener.
