A damping device for damping or avoiding pressure surges, such as pulses, in hydraulic supply circuits has a damping housing (1) surrounding a damping chamber and having a fluid inlet (35) and a fluid outlet (41). A fluid receiving chamber extends between the fluid inlet (35) and the fluid outlet (41). During operation of the device, a fluid flow crosses the damping chamber in a throughflow direction (11), from the fluid inlet (35) to the fluid outlet (41).

More than one fluid receiving chamber is arranged one after the other in the throughflow direction (11). The fluid receiving chamber that is first upstream and the fluid receiving chamber that is last downstream immediately adjoin the fluid inlet (35) and the fluid outlet (41), respectively.

A damping device, in particular for damping or avoiding pressure surges, such as pulses, in hydraulic supply circuits, preferably in the form of a silencer, has a damping housing surrounding a damping chamber and having a fluid inlet (3) and a fluid outlet (5). A fluid receiving chamber (7) extends between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. A fluid flow crosses the damping chamber in a throughflow direction (11) from the fluid inlet (3) to the fluid outlet (5). Parts of the fluid receiving chamber (7) extend transversely with respect to the throughflow direction (11). The fluid receiving chamber (7) immediately adjoins the fluid inlet (3) and the fluid outlet (5). A guide element (51) is provided in the damping chamber.

A peristaltic pump dampener apparatus includes a first chamber and a second chamber separated by a flexible diaphragm. The first chamber of the peristaltic pulse dampener apparatus receives a first input flow tangent to the walls of the first chamber, and the second chamber of the peristaltic pulse dampener apparatus receives a second input flow tangent to the walls of the second chamber. The flexible diaphragm of the peristaltic pulse dampener apparatus acts to equalize the pressure between the first chamber and the second chamber so as to generate two substantially even, constant output flows.

An inline fluid damper device comprises a flow-through conduit configured to be placed inside a larger exterior conduit through which a fluid flows. The flow-through conduit is elongated and extending around a center axis. The damper device also comprising an indirect flow conduit coupled with the flow-through conduit. The indirect flow conduit is also configured to be placed inside the larger exterior conduit. The flow-through conduit and the indirect flow conduit are configured to dampen one or more flow fluctuations or pressure fluctuations in the fluid flowing in the larger exterior conduit by dividing the fluid into a first portion that flows along the center axis through the flow-through conduit and a second portion that concurrently flows outside of the flow-through conduit along the center axis and along a different direction.

Disclosed is a pulsation dampening system for high-pressure (e.g., 10K psi and higher) fluid lines. At high fluid flow pressures, the dampening system is a dual stage dampening system, responsive to low (e.g., when first charging the fluid line) and to very high-pressure pulsations. An external containment shell handles the full fluid flow pressures. One or more internal shells contain and handle the internal gas dampening system. The in-flow relationship of the gas dampening component assures that pressure differences between the internal gas handling system and the high-pressure fluid flow is always relatively small. This enables the gas handling components to be constructed of less robust material than the external shell (even though the gas system's internal pressure can equal that of the fluid flow), and be less susceptible to pressure failure.

Provided is a novel pressure pulsation reducing device of a hydraulic system that reduces a stress generated in a metal diaphragm and is excellent in durability. A plurality of concentric recess portions projecting toward an interior space of a pulsation damping member is formed on one of metal diaphragms, and a plurality of concentric recess portions projecting toward the interior space of the pulsation damping member is formed on the other metal diaphragm likewise. When a predetermined pressure is applied to the metal diaphragms, at least one recess portion of one of the metal diaphragms and at least one recess portion of the other metal diaphragm are in contact with each other.

A device for vibration reduction in a hydraulic actuating system has a housing in which a pressure chamber is able to be disposed in fluid connection with the actuating system by way of at least one connection and bounded by a resilient membrane. The membrane has a pressure-loadable surface and a surface which is remote therefrom and provided with a profiling, by way of which the membrane when loaded with pressure can be supported on a fixed wall section of the housing and which has at least one web section comprising at least one web with a web foot, a web end adjacent to the wall section, and a defined web cross-section. The web is of asymmetrical construction with respect to a notional plane extending normal to the pressure-loadable surface through the web foot and perpendicularly to the web cross-section.
