Abstract
Pulse valves and methods of using pulse valves are provided. The pulse valves include a dampening mechanism to decrease mechanical stresses, decrease operating noise, decrease compressed air waste and increase operational life expectancy. Such dampening mechanism is arranged within an internal area of the pulse valve housing. Additionally, fluid within the internal area of the pulse valve provides cushioning effects during operation of the pulse valve.
