Diaphragm Pumps - upstream pulsation dampening
Diaphragm Pumps - upstream pulsation dampening
(OP)
I had a rep suggest to use a pulsation dampener upstream of a diaphragm pump to reduce hammering.
Can anyone find a reason for this? I thought it was only on the discharge.

Is this a new installation or a fix of an installation. For a new installation, a less expensive solution is to oversize to oversize the piping.

Independent events are seldomly independent.

Valuable advice from a professor many years ago: First, design for graceful failure. Everything we build will eventually fail, so we must strive to avoid injuries or secondary damage when that failure occurs. Only then can practicality and economics be properly considered.
