At the inner diameter edge of the vibration-damping orifice plate in the buffer tank of a reciprocating compressor, sharp edges must be retained; chamfering is not allowed, otherwise the effectiveness will be reduced. I would like to ask everyone: why is it required that the edge of the vibration-damping orifice plate in reciprocating machines be sharp?
““Vibration-damping orifice plate for reciprocating machines”? Please also specify, preferably the location of the compressor where the previous unit was installed. Thank you!
The buffer tank is designed to reduce vibration, while the orifice plate is used for throttling; it seems that these two components are not necessarily required to be used together.
It should be at the level of fluid dynamics; I’m not exactly sure about the details. There are practical examples available for reference regarding vibration reduction in reciprocating compressors, such as by adding orifice plates or changing the type of check valve.
