Cleaning 

7.2.

 

WARNING 

 Dangerous substances in the liquid pulsation  

damper can cause a health hazard 
Depending on the medium transferred, caustic burns 
or poisoning are possible. 

  Wear protective clothing if necessary, e.g. pro-

tective gloves. 

  Rinse the liquid pulsation damper with a neutral 

liquid and pump empty. 

 

7.2.1. Flushing the liquid pulsation damper 

  When transferring aggressive media, KNF recommends flush-

ing the liquid pulsation damper with air under atmospheric 
conditions for several minutes prior to switch off (if necessary 
for safety reasons: use an inert gas). This will extend the ser-

vice life of the diaphragm. 

7.2.2. Cleaning the liquid pulsation damper 

  Where possible, wipe the components with a dry cloth. Do not 

use cleaning solvents as these may corrode plastic parts. 

  If there is compressed air available, blow off components. 

 

 

Liquid pulsation damper free of hazardous materials 

 

Hoses removed from the liquid pulsation damper 

 

We recommend replacing the separating diaphragm when 

the upper section is removed.
