Fawcett Christie Alleviators are designed to control surge by providing an elastomer bladder precharged with nitrogen, contained in a steel shell. The pressure surge, partially dampened by the orifices in the alleviator fluid port, enters the shell, where the remaining kinetic energy is dissipated by compressing the nitrogen gas within the bladder. Fawcett Christie Alleviators are totally enclosed and as the only moving part is the bladder therefore little maintenance is required. Applications include: - Pump Shut-down
- Pump Start-up
- Valve closure
