Installation and Operation Manual
CIP Sanitary Flow Through Dampener Models
SENTRY dampeners are pressure vessels
containing a flexible bladder or bellows inside that separates an
inert pressurized gas (air or Nitrogen) from a system fluid in the lower chamber. Depending on how dampeners
are configured, they are used as
Pulsation Dampeners, Inlet Stabilizers or Surge Suppressors
to control
pressure fluctuations and spikes in liquid piping systems.
Dampeners work on the principle that volume is inversely proportional to pressure (P1V1=P2V2). Compressed
air or Nitrogen (never Oxygen) is introduced into the non-wetted side of the dampener. The gas charge is
contained by the bladder or bellows preventing contact between the system fluid and the gas.
When the dampener is sized correctly, properly installed and charged according to the instructions provided it
will greatly reduce the damaging effects of pressure variations in piping systems and significantly improve the
efficiency of transferring liquids.
All dampeners manufactured by BLACOH use pressure bodies made in the USA to insure quality. Prior
to shipment, each and every dampener is factory tested at design pressure or higher to assure proper
function and leak-free operation.
