First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fluid stream pulse damper, comprising;
- a fluid conduit defining a fluid path and a fluid flow direction in said fluid path, said conduit having an inlet end and an outlet end for all fluid flowing along said fluid path;
a damper body disposed in said conduit, said damper body intersecting said fluid path; and
an energy absorber attached to said damper body, and operating in resistance to fluid flowing in said fluid flow direction.

Abstract
A fluid stream pulse damper having a fluid conduit defining a fluid path and a fluid flow direction. The conduit has an inlet end and an outlet end. A damper body in the conduit intersects the fluid path. An energy absorber attached to the damper body operates in resistance to fluid flowing in the conduit.

10. A method for damping pulse energy of a fluid stream, comprising;
-
providing a fluid flow path and a body in said path;
providing an energy absorber for said body;
conducting a fluid along said fluid flow path;
intercepting with said body at least a portion of the fluid flowing along said path;
translating pulse energy in said fluid to mechanical energy in said body; and
conducting away from said body all of the fluid conducted toward said body. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

16. A gaseous fluid circuit, comprising;
-
a source of gaseous fluid;
a gaseous fluid destination;
a fluid conduit defining a fluid path from said source to said destination, and having a fluid flow direction in said fluid path, said conduit having an inlet end and an outlet end for all fluid flowing along said fluid path;
a damper body disposed in said conduit, said damper body intersecting said fluid path; and
an energy absorber attached to said damper body, and operating in resistance to fluid flowing in said fluid flow direction.
