Presented herein are systems and methods for attenuating certain pulsations in a hydraulic system comprising a pump and a hydraulic actuator. In certain aspects, an accumulator comprising an internal volume that is divided into a working chamber and a contained chamber may be utilized to at least partially attenuate propagation of certain pulsations in the system. The working chamber may be fluidically coupled to the pump via a first flow path and fluidically coupled to a chamber of the actuator via a second flow path. The system may be designed such that a first inertance of the first flow path is greater than a second inertance of the second flow path. Additionally or alternatively, the system may be designed such that a resonance associated with the first inertance and a compliance of the accumulator may occur at a resonance frequency of less than 90 Hz.

An air-operated pump, such as an air-operated diaphragm pump, includes a pump body, a process liquid pathway defined at least in part by the pump body, and an air pathway defined at least in part by the pump body, where the process liquid pathway and air pathway are fluidly separated from one another within the pump body. The pump further includes a leak detection and containment assembly integrated with the pump body and having a process liquid sensor configured to sense process liquid leaked from the process liquid pathway into the air pathway, and a shutoff valve communicatively coupled to the process liquid sensor and configured to close in response to the process liquid sensor sensing a process liquid leak to contain the leaked process liquid within the pump body and the assembly.

A reciprocating compressor includes a cylinder that defines a compressing space and a discharge muffler configured to receive refrigerant compressed in the cylinder and to discharge the refrigerant. The discharge muffler includes a discharge muffler body and a discharge guide supported by the discharge muffler body. The discharge muffler body defines a discharge space configured to receive the refrigerant from the cylinder and includes a wall protruding from an inner circumferential surface of the discharge muffler body. The discharge guide is coupled to the wall and includes a pipe that defines a pipe inflow hole configured to receive the refrigerant from the discharge space and a pipe outflow hole configured to discharge the refrigerant. The discharge guide further includes a fixing bracket that couples the pipe to the discharge muffler body.

The pump has a casing accommodating a piston and a driving part. The casing has a first casing member having a driving part retaining portion retaining the driving part, a second casing member fixedly stacked on the first casing member in the reciprocating direction of the piston, and a cylindrical pump chamber peripheral wall member disposed around a head of the piston. The second casing member has an end wall portion extending in a transverse direction substantially perpendicular to the reciprocating direction. A pump chamber, a delivery chamber, and a buffer chamber are defined between the first casing member and the end wall portion of the second casing member. The pump chamber, the delivery chamber, and the buffer chamber are disposed side-by-side in the transverse direction.

A fluid apparatus includes an air pump and a buffer tank. The buffer tank has an inlet receiving air delivered from the air pump into a storage space, and an outlet discharging the air from the storage space. The storage space contains a discharge flow passage extending from the outlet toward the inlet in the storage space. The discharge flow passage opens toward the inlet. The discharge flow passage has a tapering flow passage portion with a cross-sectional area gradually decreasing toward the outlet. Compressed air delivered from the inlet into the storage space diffuses in the storage space and is introduced into the discharge flow passage from an introduction opening and delivered from the outlet.

Various embodiments may include a high-pressure fuel pump with: a pump housing including a pressure chamber and a pump piston movable up and down within the pressure chamber along a movement axis; and a low-pressure damper including a damper volume arranged on the pump housing and damper elements distributed symmetrically around a damper longitudinal axis. The damper longitudinal axis is arranged at an angle of between 5 and 175 in relation to the movement axis.

Provided is a laundry treating apparatus in which vibrations are reduced. The laundry treating apparatus includes a tub holding washing water, a drum rotatably disposed within the tub and holding laundry, a nozzle jetting the washing water to an interior of the drum, a pump unit having a pump body, a drain pump coupled to the pump body and outwardly draining washing water introduced from the interior of the tub to the pump body, and a circulation pump coupled to the pump body and supplying washing water introduced from the interior of the tub to the pump body to the nozzle, a cabinet accommodating the tub, the drum, the nozzle, and the pump unit therein, and a mount coupled to the pump body and the cabinet to absorb vibrations.
