Overview
White Knight PTFE and PFA pulse dampeners reduce pulsation, improve flow control and increase batch yields. These in-line and top mount dampeners protect system components such as filters, fittings and pipes to minimize downtime for repairs.

Top-mounted DBA030 pulse dampener with PSA030 ambient temperature pump.

In-line DBU060 pulse dampener with
PSU060 ultra-high temperature pump.
DBA Series Pulse Dampeners
Designed for PFA, PSA and PXA Series pumps capable of pressures up to 7 Bar (100 psi) and temperatures up to 100°C (212°F).
DBH Series Pulse Dampeners
Designed for PFH, PSH and PXH Series pumps capable of operating at pressures up to 5.5 Bar (80 psi) and in temperatures up to 145°C (293°F).
DBU Series Pulse Dampeners
Designed for PFU, PSU and PXU Series pumps capable of operating at pressures up to 7 Bar (100 psi) and in temperatures up to 210°C (410°F).
