Abstract: A method for determining a pump setpoint for delivering a desired volumetric flow rate of a substance through a channel comprises measuring a first volumetric flow rate through the channel for a first pump setpoint. The pump setpoint for delivering the desired volumetric flow rate is determined based on previously obtained performance curves of the pump and a flow resistance of the channel. Each performance curve represents the relation between flow rate and pressure at the pump's exit for a different setpoint. The flow resistance of the channel is determined based on said first volumetric flow rate and on the performance curves of the pump.

Abstract: The invention relates to a peristaltic pump (1) comprising a saddle and a rotor (3) rotatable therein, between which a hose (4) is arranged. The rotor (3) carries hose compression means (6), which sweep over the hose (4) with the rotation of the rotor (3) and thus convey a conveying fluid. When the hose compression means (6) emerge from the hose (4), this results in pulsation effects. According to the invention, these pulsation effects are suppressed in that an inner saddle face (5), on which the hose (4) is positioned, is suitably shaped. In addition, the pulsation effects may be reduced or prevented by controlled adaptation of the rotor rotational speed, by suitable selection of a conveying end position during metering of the pumping medium, or by establishing particular invariable conveying end positions. The use of a peristaltic pump (1) of this type for metering is further proposed.

The inner sleeve divides an interior volume of the outer shell into a first muffler cavity and a second muffler cavity. A related compressor is also provided.
