A damper device that includes an elongate body containing a passageway for fluid to flow there through and a first opening and a second opening, wherein the first opening and the second opening have an inside diameter. A throat is disposed within the body and between the first opening and the second opening of the elongate body having an inside diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the first opening and the second opening.

A pulsation damper for a condensate pump comprising a housing defining a fluid chamber having a liquid inlet connectable to an outlet of the condensate pump, an air inlet, and a liquid outlet, wherein the air inlet includes a one-way valve configured to selectively introduce air into the housing to maintain a first air pocket within the fluid chamber as liquid flows through the fluid chamber, wherein the liquid outlet is located outside the first air pocket, and wherein the air pocket is configured to dissipate pulsations within liquid entering the housing at the liquid inlet prior to the liquid discharging via the liquid outlet.

The present invention relates to a pipe (1, 3) having a pipe element (3) for conveying a medium in a flow direction (A) and having a flange element (1) for connecting the pipe element (3) to a connection partner, wherein the pipe element (3) has a pipe body (30) with a media passage opening (31) for conveying the medium in the flow direction (A), wherein the flange element (1) has a flange body (10) with a media passage opening (11) for conveying the medium in the flow direction (A), wherein the flange element (1) is arranged at one end of the pipe element (3) in such a way that the media passage openings (11, 31) at least substantially overlap. The pipe (1, 3) is characterized by a sensor element (21) which is arranged in the flange body (10) in such a way that at least a portion of the sensor element (21) can be in contact with the medium.

An annular tube (or other shape) of elastomeric cellular material comprising elastomeric closed cells having gas infused therein is supported by structures protruding from the bottom surface of a suction stabilizer's head and/or by structures within the interior volume of the annular body of the suction stabilizer, preferably with spacing between the outer diameter of the annular tube of the cellular material and the inner walls of the suction stabilizer body. The gas-infused closed cell material may thus be employed in new suction stabilizer or pulsation dampener or to retrofit existing suction stabilizers or pulsation dampeners designed for a gas-filled bladder.

In a method for operating a hydraulic device for providing a supply to hydraulic consumers (V) on a plastics injection moulding machine, provision is made of a pump (10) with a volumetric delivery characteristic that results in cyclic pulsations and of a servomotor (11) with multiple poles that result in cyclic pulsations. The pressure at the hydraulic consumer (V) is detected and is input as an actual value into a pressure regulator (13) that readjusts the servomotor (11), on the basis of a predefined pressure profile, to a pressure setpoint value at the hydraulic consumer (V). The cyclic pressure pulsation is minimized in that, by means of a rotational angle sensor (20), the rotational angle (φ) of the pump (10) and/or of the servomotor (11) is detected and correlated with the cyclic pulsations, and in that, from this, a corrective value or a corrective function is determined and is transmitted to the pressure regulator (13) with control subordinate to the regulation of the pressure setpoint value. Alternatively or in addition, this is achieved in the case of a hydraulic device also in that, as corrective means for the pressure regulation, said means being subordinate to the consideration of the pulsations, the number of components of the pump (10) that result in the cyclic pulsations and the number of components of the servomotor (11) that generate cyclic pulsations are equal, or one is a multiple of the other.

A pressure compensator for providing pressure compensation for a chamber of a subsea device is provided. The pressure compensator has an enclosure with at least an outer wall. A first compensation chamber is provided inside the enclosure. A flow connection from the first compensation chamber towards the chamber of the subsea device is further provided. As second compensation chamber is provided inside the enclosure. First and second separating walls are arranged inside the enclosure. A first bellows portion of the first separating wall and a second bellows portion of the second separating wall are deformable to provide pressure compensation between the chamber of the subsea device and a second inner volume around which the second separating wall extends.

A device for reducing vibrations in a hydraulic system may have a separating device which has a side for delimiting a fluid-conducting cavity of the fluid system. The device may also have a vibration-reducing unit, which is designed to mechanically adjust the rigidity of the separating device such that vibrations in the fluid system are reduced.
