Analysis and mitigation of pressure fluctuations in compressors KU Leuven
Compressors are used worldwide in various applications: from compressing air that is used to power pneumatic tools, to compressing a refrigerant in a cooling installation. Inside a compressor, gas is aspirated at a low pressure, compressed and then discharged at a higher pressure. During the suction and discharge process, the unsteady mass flow creates pressure fluctuations in intake and exhaust systems. These pressure fluctuations can be ...
