Abstract:
A damper assembly for a fuel pump includes at least one diaphragm assembly formed by joining two metal diaphragms to respective two sides of an imperforate central plate, thereby creating a pair of closely spaced diaphragms, each acting upon its own gas volume. Preferably, the diaphragm assembly has (a) a circular or polygonal central plate, (b) a first circular diaphragm having a rim portion sealingly secured as by welding to the plate and a relatively thin, flexible, convex portion projecting from one side of the plate and defining a first pressurized gas volume, and (c) a second circular diaphragm having a rim portion sealingly secured as by welding to the plate and a relatively thin, flexible, convex portion projecting from the other side of the plate and defining an independent second pressurized gas volume. The diaphragm assembly can be supported radially inside, outside, or on the weld.
