Abstract

A pulsation dampener to dampen pulsations in a fluid may include a dampener body to dampen the fluid; an channel flange section connected to the dampener body for the fluid to enter the dampener body.

Claims (13)

1. A pulsation dampener to dampen pulsations in a fluid, comprising:

a dampener device housing ( 107 );

a solid flange section ( 130 ) connected to the dampener device housing for the fluid to remain in the dampener device housing;

a channel flange section ( 132 ) connected to the dampener device housing for the fluid to enter and exit the dampener device housing;

wherein the dampening device housing includes a resilient dampener basket ( 114 ) therein holding a plurality of pulsation dampener layers ( 184 ) wherein each layer the plurality of layers comprises a plurality of ports ( 188 ) disposed thereon; the plurality of ports serving as entrance points on which the pulsating fluid is exerted wherein, each layer of the plurality of layers comprises four separate wedge-shaped segments ( 182 ); the segments positioned within basket such that, a first segment is placed adjacent to a second segment, the second segment is placed adjacent to a third segment, and the third segment is placed adjacent to a fourth segment.

2. A pulsation dampener to dampen pulsations in a fluid as in claim 1 , wherein the dampener device housing includes an entrance basket section ( 108 ).

3. A pulsation dampener to dampen pulsations in a fluid as in claim 2 , wherein the entrance basket section includes a narrowed section ( 122 ).

4. A pulsation dampener to dampen pulsations in a fluid as in claim 1 , wherein the dampener device housing includes an exit section ( 110 ).

5. A pulsation dampener to dampen pulsations in a fluid as in claim 4 , wherein the exit section includes a narrowed section ( 124 ).

6. A pulsation dampener to dampen pulsations in a fluid of claim 1 wherein, each segment of the plurality of segments comprises a gas-infused, closed-cell, rubber foam piece comprising a multiplicity of microcells of gas disposed therewithin.

7. A pulsation dampener to dampen pulsations in a fluid of claim 3 , wherein the fluid includes a gas comprising nitrogen.

8. A pulsation dampener to dampen pulsations in a fluid of claim 1 wherein, the dampener basket is molded out of Nitrile Butadiene rubber.

9. A pulsation dampener to dampen pulsations in a fluid of claim 5 wherein, the Nitrile Butadiene rubber comprises hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene rubber.
