| Realized a "T" could be save by connecting Pi to the second port of a standard damper, they saved themselves a bunch of money. But Td off line it still didn't dampen. The dead branch leg couldn't respond in 0.014 of a second, & Pi couldn't detect any pulse! |

Finally - the disturbance was directed through a one third sized, true flo-thru. 3 ported DAMPER
RESULTS: Pressure pulsation less than 1.5 Bar.
Accumulator volume reduces flow fluctuation, --but dampeners intercept system pressure response. |

There is always more than one pump cylinder sucking, always 2 blowing, the check valves of each are influenced by the other, high frequency pressure pulsation is the system response. Installing an intercepter damper between pump and system isolates forcing action from the system response, pressure pulsation and flow fluctuation are cured. |
