Abstract: In a positive displacement compressor, the actual pressure pulsations and instantaneous flows are a result of complicated interactions between the compressor, the valves, and the piping acoustics. As a result, it is impossible to accurately predict the actual throughput, horsepower required, or the pulsation levels without taking these interactions into account. This paper presents the result of a study that addressed the effect of such interactions on the compressor performance. The study was accomplished by using a specially developed computer software code designed for detailed simulations of complex compressor systems. The model was validated by correlating to experimental data. Some of these correlation results are presented.
