Pressure pulsations in reciprocating pump piping systems Part 1: modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
A distributed parameter model of pipeline transmission line behaviour is presented, based on a Galerkin method incorporating frequency-dependent friction. This is readily interfaced to an existing model of the pumping dynamics of a plunger pump to allow time-domain simulations of pipeline pressure pulsations in both suction and delivery lines. A new model for the pump inlet manifold is also proposed.

Design Challenges for Reciprocating Compressors in Specialty Gas Services
Many software tools are used to simulate compressor performance and pressure pulsations in piping systems. Designers of reciprocating equipment rely on these tools to accurately simulate gas properties and pressure pulsations for specialty gases. Two case studies on reciprocating compressors, involving ethane and ethylene, outline the root causes and consequences of inaccurate performance and p...
متن کاملStudy on Influence of Certain System Parameters on Pressure Pulsations of Multistage Reciprocating Compressor System
Prediction of pressure pulsation magnitude and their harmonic components for a multistage reciprocating compressor, piping and reservoir system depends on the input design and operating parameters. In the present paper, the results of the theoretical study carried out to study the effect of such parameters on pressure pulsations and their harmonics have been presented. The effect of pipe diamet...
متن کاملFault Diagnosis of Reciprocating Compressor Using Pressure Pulsations
The major problems encountered in a reciprocating compressor are because of the valve failure .The other problem of leakage past the piston because of the worn out piston rings has also been placed in the reciprocating compressor. Pressure pulsations generated inside the piping of a reciprocating compressor may be taken as one of the tool for diagnosing the nature of fault inside the compressor...

In this paper, a simulation-based method is proposed for optimal placement of vibration sensors for the purpose of fault detection in a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump is modeled to investigate the effect of vane tip fault on fluid flow patterns numerically. Pressure pulsations are investigated at different locations at the inner surface of the pump before and after the presence of the f...
متن کاملHydroelastic Vibration of a Circular Diaphragm in the Fluid Chamber of a Reciprocating Micro Pump
Reciprocating diaphragm micro-pumps are the most common type among indirectly–driven micro-pumps. They operate by reciprocating the diaphragm with associated check valves. This paper addresses the Hydroelastic vibration of circular elastic diaphragm interacting with the incompressible and inviscid liquid inside the cylindrical chamber with a central discharge opening. Taking into account axisym...
