A pulsation dampener for a dispensing system comprising a housing, a diaphragm comprising at least one fluoropolymer layer, the diaphragm dividing the housing into a first compartment and a second compartment, an inlet port and an outlet port each in fluid communication with the first compartment thereby providing a flow path for a liquid to enter the first compartment via the first inlet port and exit the first compartment via the outlet port, and at least one gas disposed within the second compartment, the at least one gas having a kinetic diameter of 0.36 nm or greater, wherein the fluoropolymer of the at least one fluoropolymer layer and the at least one gas are selected such that a gas transmittance rate of the at least one gas through the diaphragm is from 0 mbar*L/second to 1*10.sup.−5 mbar*L/second.

A helical strake pole system that includes a tubular pole having a longitudinal axis and threaded attachment points. The system further includes a helical strake fin disposed circumferentially around a portion of the tubular pole along the longitudinal axis. The system further includes couplers disposed on the tubular pole. The couplers are configured such that each coupler has a first portion with a slot configured to receive an upper portion of the helical strake fin and a second portion configured to removably coupled to a threaded attachment point of the tubular pole. In addition, each coupler is configured to position a portion of the helical strake fin substantially perpendicular to a surface of the tubular pole.

An apparatus for controlling flow induced vibrations in a section of pipeline caused by a flow of liquid therethrough comprising: a sensor for measuring flow induced vibrations of the section of pipeline; a mechanical means for adjusting the natural frequency of the section of pipeline; wherein the mechanical means automatically adjusts the natural frequency of the section of pipeline based on the measured vibration in order to reduce the flow induced vibration.

A telescopic bladder with a noise reduction structure is provided. The telescopic bladder has an opening. The telescopic bladder includes a top plate and a plurality of connected annular bodies extending from a periphery of the top plate toward the opening. The annular bodies have a continuous wavy cross-section. An inner surface of at least some of the annular bodies is formed with at least one protrusion. When the telescopic bladder is applied to a pillow, even if the telescopic bladder is inflated or deflated in the middle of the night, there will be no annoying noise, thereby improving the sleep quality effectively.

A pipeline includes a pipeline body in which fluid flows and a throttle formed at a specific position of the pipeline body as a flow passage sectional shape of the pipeline body is changed from that of a remaining portion of the pipeline body. The specific position at which the throttle is provided is a position in the pipeline body and corresponds to a position that serves as an abdominal part of the pipeline in a vibration mode where a resonance frequency is the closest to a pulsation frequency of pressure pulsation caused by the fluid.

A natural gas pumping system that includes six reciprocating compressor cylinders, the reciprocating pistons of the six compressors having cycles offset by 60 degrees one from another.

A natural gas pumping system that includes six reciprocating compressor cylinders, the reciprocating pistons of the six compressors having cycles offset by 60 degrees one from another.

A hydraulic system for a working machine includes a hydraulic actuator having a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber, an accumulator, an outputting fluid tube to output an operation fluid, and a switching valve to be switched between a first position and a second position. The first position allows the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber to be communicated with the outputting fluid tube and thereby allowing a floating operation. The second position allows the first fluid chamber and the accumulator to be communicated with each other, allows the second fluid chamber and the outputting fluid tube to be communicated with each other, and thereby allows an anti-vibration operation.

A modular stabilizer is provided for a reciprocating pump. The modular stabilizer includes at least one fluid dampening module incorporating a dampening material and forming a second fluid flow path in fluid communication with the first fluid flow path defined between the entry ports of the suction manifold. The second fluid flow path is an alternate fluid flow path branching from the first fluid flow path.

A shower system includes a shower waterway and a fluid control valve. The shower waterway is configured to be coupled to a shower device. The fluid control valve is coupled to the shower waterway and comprises a valve body and a piston. The valve body includes a chamber and a reservoir. The piston is slidably coupled to the valve body and fluidly separates the chamber from the reservoir. The chamber includes a compressible gas. The piston is configured to slidably translate within the valve body to compress the compressible gas in response to a water pressure fluctuation in the shower waterway.
