Surge Arrestors from Shock Guard

Surge Arrestors from Shock Guard

Floatolator surge arrestors are for volumes that are greater than those for which bladder tooling is available - ie greater than 500 gallons. Some times these surge arrestors are deployed for temperature beyond the capability of membranes.

The interface between liquid and gas cushion in these surge arrestors is minimized to a narrow annulus between two wipers that stop turbulence from carrying away the absorbed layer.

These Float type surge arrestors must be mounted vertically with pre-fill end uppermost. "Drowning" the floating piston is prevented by an auto purging system and loss of air is avoided by by a chevron shutdown seal detail.
