Abstract
A cartridge shell for a suction or discharge stabilizer dampening pumped fluid pressure pulsations at an inlet or outlet of a reciprocating pump includes a head including a protrusion, an annular shell of deformable material of a deformable multi-ply material coupled to the protrusion, a plug coupled to the annular shell of deformable material at an opposite end of the annular shell of deformable material from the protrusion, and a cellular foam included within the interior of the annular shell of deformable material.
Claims20
A stabilizer cartridge, comprising:
- a head including a protrusion extending from a first side of a disk and a hex nut on a second side of the disk;
- an annular cartridge of deformable material into which the protrusion is inserted at a first end thereof, the annular cartridge clamped to the protrusion at the first end by a first clamp;
- a plug inserted into the annular cartridge at second end thereof the annular cartridge clamped to the plug at the second end by a second clamp, wherein the protrusion, the plug, the first clamp, the second clamp, and an annular collar seal an interior volume of the annular cartridge;
- and
- a cellular foam filling the interior volume of the annular cartridge.
