Pulsation Dampeners with No Moving Parts / Acoustic - Phase Change Type
Dampeners that attenuate pressure pulsation by use of a liquid to gas to liquid "phase change", or "release from solution". This "Phase-Change" type is similar to type 1 Ram-Jet and type 2 the "Ball Pack Dispersal, in that it also has to be an in-line flow-through interceptor type, BUT
The "Phase-Change" type owns its creation to the ancient "Steam-Injection" models. The flow passes through a restriction so great that the delta P causes the dissolved gasses to come out of solution. In that gasified condition, close to the down stream side of the orifice, they act like a miniscule accumulator addressing the volumetric component of the pressure spike. Further away from the down stream side of the orifice the gas bubbles re-condense or are "re-absorbed" back into solution. The discharge coefficient of orifice size to chamber diameter also helps dissipate pressure pulsation as in type 1, the "Ram-Jet" above. The disadvantage of type 3, is that it reflects pressure pulsation back to the system - though this decreases amplitude by doubling and doubling the frequency - AND this type costs an appreciable amount of "Pressure-Drop" ( Unlike the Ram-Jet ). There are suction side dampeners based on these type 3 principles, by the name of "CavGuard". Volumetric performance is good at the low forcing base frequencies of reciprocating pumps. Acoustic performance preventing negative wave propagation is good at all frequencies.
