This paper represents continued results from an investigation into the causes and correction of inlet imbalance to power cylinders of a two-stroke integral compressor engine. The project was funded by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy as part of their Natural Gas Infrastructure Reliability Program. Co-funding for this project was provided by GMRC, El Paso Corp., Cooper Compression, Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, and Optimum Power Technology. A laboratory GMVH- 6 turbocharged engine was used to provide engine data and conduct prototype testing. This paper describes testing and analysis of cylinder-to-cylinder variations. A prototype exhaust manifold retrofit, derived during the conceptual design phase, was constructed and tested for validation. The prototype exhaust retrofit is a side branch absorber designed to attenuate pulsations affecting scavenging. Initial testing indicated increased airflow and scavenging efficiency.
