Abstract

The invention provides an exemplary pulsation dampener which comprises a vessel which defines an interior for receiving a fluid. At least two resilient cartridges are disposed within the interior of the vessel. The cartridges are pressurized to different pressures so that they will dampen pressure pulses within the fluid which have different pressure peaks.
