Abstract
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 modular stabilizer for coupling to a suction manifold of a reciprocating pump, the suction manifold defining a first fluid flow path between two fluid entry ports, comprising at least one fluid dampening module forming a second fluid flow path in fluid communication with the first fluid flow path, the second fluid flow path being an alternate fluid flow path branching from the first fluid flow path.
A modular stabilizer coupled to a suction manifold of a reciprocating pump, comprising at least one fluid path segment incorporating a vibration dampening material and defining a secondary fluid flow path branching from a primary fluid flow path formed between two fluid entry ports of the suction manifold.
A modular vibration dampener coupled to a suction manifold of a high-pressure pump, the modular vibration dampener comprising:
- a plurality of fluid dampening modules coupled to the suction manifold forming a secondary fluid flow path in fluid communication with a primary fluid flow path in fluid communication with a fluid entry port of the suction manifold, the secondary fluid flow path being an alternate fluid flow path branching from the primary fluid flow path;
- the plurality of fluid dampening modules incorporating a vibration dampening material;
- and
- a device being configured for terminating fluid flow between any two adjacent fluid dampening modules.
