What is pulse in pump?

Pulse in a pump refers to the fluctuations in flow or pressure that occur during the pumping process, typically due to the operation of positive displacement pumps or certain types of centrifugal pumps. These fluctuations can create vibrations and noise, impacting the system's efficiency and performance. Pulsation dampeners or surge tanks are often used to minimize these effects and ensure a smoother and more consistent flow. Managing pulse is crucial for applications requiring precise flow rates and pressures.
