Coupling the effects of reciprocating compressor valve dynamics with piping acoustic response.

Author(s) : ROGERS L. E.

Summary

The paper describes an efficient technique to link the results of frequency domain modelling of the piping acoustics with time domain modelling of the compressor valve dynamics. The validity of the technique is confirmed by good agreement between measured and predicted results. In addition, the paper confirms the feasibility of using computational fluid dynamics to determine compressor valve flow characteristics.
