  • GAS COMPRESSOR WITH PULSATION ABSORBER FOR REDUCING CYLINDER NOZZLE RESONANT PULSATION
    Publication number: 20120144671
    Abstract: A method for reducing pulsation effects associated with the compressor nozzle of a positive displacement compressor system. A pulsation absorber, having a design like that of a side branch absorber, is installed on the cylinder valve cap or on the cylinder nozzle. The acoustic dimensions and placement of the pulsation absorber are designed to reduce the amplitude of the pulsations associated with the peak resonant frequency of the compressor nozzle response.
