The tuned liquid damper protects slender constructions from natural influences

Natural influences, such as strong winds, waves and earthquakes, are a threat to slender structures like flares, chimneys and bridges. To protect these kinds of constructions from oscillation, professional company Flow Engineering provides custom-made systems. The tuned mass damper and the tuned liquid damper are examples of their high-end systems that have been installed to slender structures all over the world. Have you noticed an existing structure, such as a chimney on a factory, has become less stable than it used to be? Flow Engineering’s engineers examine the conditions and offer a damping solution that will reduces the stresses caused by wind or other dynamic loads.

These engineers analyze and solve vibrational problems

From design to installation: Flow Engineering manufactures custom-made solutions that dampen vibrations in slender structures. This will make the structures more durable and able to withstand the forces of nature. The tuned mass damper is one of the high-end system the company can install to solve vibrational problems. This mechanical system starts to work as soon as the structure starts to oscillate for whatever reason. The tuned mass damper will then oscillate in the opposite direction and thus turn kinetic energy into thermal energy that will protect the slender structure. The tuned liquid damper is a less chosen system, that uses a water and glycol mixture to provide dampening to a construction once it starts to vibrate due to natural influences.
