ALMATECPULSATIONDAMPERS,ETSeriesandET‐FSeries

The ALMATEC pulsation dampers series  ET and ET‐F represents the latest generation of active pulsation
dampers.TheyarespeciallydesignedtobeusedalongwithALMATECair‐operateddoublediaphragmpumps
oftheE‐Series.Ageneralaspecttobe
consideredis,thatapulsationdamperdecreasesthetotalcapacityof
thesystemdependingonthepointofoperation.

Beforeputting anALMATECpulsationdamperintooperation,make sure,thatthematerials ofconstruction
areresistanttothechemicaltobepumped.Tocheckthis,theexactdampercodeis
required.Thiscode,the
serialnumberandtheyearofconstructionarenotedontheidentificationplatesonthedamperitself. 

For flammable liquids as well as for applications in explosion protected areas, only dampers made of
conductive plastic materials (code F resp. U) may be used. It is not necessary to ground the damper
separately,asthe
damperisconnectedconductivelytotheE‐Seriespump,whichisconductiveandhastobe
groundeditself(pleaseseeATEXhintsonpage4).

In general, pump and damper are dispatched completely mounted. Still,  they can be packed in separate
boxes,especially forthe biggersizes. Ifso, the
damperhasto bescrewed intothe threadatthetopof the
center housing carefully, but only until the damper is in contact with  the pump. Exceeded tightening may 
damagethethread.Besides,acorrectpositioningoftheO‐ring[10]withinthegroovehastobeensured.

An ALMATEC
 ET‐damper can easily be attached to an E‐Series pump at any time without changes of the
piping,providedthatthepumpisconfiguratedwithproductportsbothhorizontally.Makesurethattheplug,
center housing (item 13 in the exploded view of the pump) is in the right
position. For pumps delivered
