Yamada® AD Series Pulsation Dampenersgreatly reduce pressure fluctuations in fluid flow when mounted as close to the pump as possible. Yamada® AD dampeners incorporate a completely automatic self-relieving air motor if an increase or decrease in discharge head occurs.

For fluids with high solids content, Yamada®AD dampeners incorporate a flow-through design which keeps solids in suspension, maintaining dampener effectiveness. Yamada® AD dampeners do not restrict fluid flow, or increase fluid pressure, but compensate the voids and pressure fluctuations created by an air-powered double diaphragm (AODD) pump.

Metering / Injection / Dosing: smoothing out discharge flow, increasing accuracy
Filter Press / Inline Filters: Increase filter efficiency by providing smooth flow.
Spraying: Smooth and consistent spray pattern is easilty accomplished.
Filing: Eliminates inconsistent filling and splashing.
Transfer: Eliminates harmful water hammer, which damages piping and valves.
Mount the pulsation dampener as close to the pump as possible. This will allow the pulsation dampener to see as much operation pressure as possible, which will increase pulsation dampener efficiency and effectiveness.
If the pulsation dampener is to be used in a low head application, you may need to add a control valve after the pulsation dampener to restrict flow and increase resistance.
Mount the pulsation dampener in a horizontal position. Vertical positioning is acceptable if you are pumping a clear fluid.
