GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ARO Shock Blocker, pulsation dampener is designed to work with
1:1 ratio pumps having an outlet pressure not exceeding 100 p.s.i. (6.9
bar). The Shock Blocker will effectively reduce material pressure varia
tions, surges and shock to piping and delivery in fluid systems during
pump reversal. It can significantly contribute to pulse reduction in low
pressure spray applications.
Accurate selection of wetted material will assure longest service life
and minimize down time. Several material options are available for the
body and bladder materials. Body materials available include: Polypro
pylene, Conductive Acetal and Pure Kynar. Use Conductive Acetal and
ground cable when pumping flammable materials.
The Shock Blocker uses a single air pressurized, flexible bladder work
ing against the fluid line pressure. Several bladder material options are
available to allow custom matching to the fluid material for best compat
ibility (refer to the model description chart).
The use of an air tamer for a higher level of automatic pressure adjust
ment and accuracy is important. It uses a sensing rod to detect the posi
tion of the bladder and an automatic air valve to adjust the air line
pressure or to exhaust excessive pressure in the bladder chamber as
needed. An air pressure gauge is standard to monitor the air side inter
nal chamber pressure.
Shock Blocker units can also be added in series to provide additional
dampening on the material.
