CST contribution to the R&D on Pressure Pulsations

CST presented a paper at the 12th Congress of the EFRC in Warsaw on an investigation made by a dedicated test plant with a two stage 800 kW compressor. The work was done to compare the therethical pulsation values calculated with its proprietary multi-physics software with experimental measurements. The research validated the software and allowed also to determine the effect on pulsations of alternative capacity control systems.
