The problem of pipeline vibration in piston machines
Thread Content
This post was last edited by yxmqh on 2010-3-5 at 12:21. The vibration in the pipelines of piston engines is quite severe; could it be due to insufficient fixing with pipe clamps? Some believe that pipeline vibration helps to reduce stress at the joints. What are everyone’s opinions?
When no other effective measures can be taken, it is best to use more pipe clamps for fixation
Vibration in the pipelines of piston machines should be avoided as much as possible. If the pipeline vibrates heavily, it is necessary to add and reinforce pipe clamps and supports. A well-designed buffer tank during design helps to minimize pipeline vibration caused by air flow fluctuations. Additionally, for large-scale units, airflow fluctuation analysis is required to identify the points where vibration levels exceed the acceptable limits; if there are not many such points, supports and fixations need to be added at those locations. Vibration can affect the sealing performance at the joint.
