 SURGE ABSORBERS
Flowguard Surge Absorbers use the same vessel design as the Pulsation Dampeners, but design them to prevent damage to equipment and instrumentation when there is a sudden change in flow velocity.
Piping systems often present themselves with pressure problems, either because of rapid closing valves in the system or by pump start-up or shut-down when a corresponding change in velocity introduces a rapid pressure rise. Besides the nuisance of pipe hammer, these surges can cause considerable damage, not the least of which are line breaks and leaking flanges. Easy to solve for, surge absorbers take into account system pressures, volumes, acoustic velocities, and flow regimes.
