Compressors in applications such as mainline transmission and gas storage are required to operateacross a wide range of suction pressures, discharge pressures and capacities. These applications requiremultiple compressor units, which create different operating scenarios and pulsation effects in the system.An optimum design for these applications poses several challenges for the pulsation study including identifying conditions that represent the limiting cases for each attribute. Because of thecomplexity ofthese systems it is difficult to know what operating condition will govern. The limiting operating conditions for pulsation, unbalanced forces, pressure drop, and total horsepower will generally be different. Thedesigner is faced with the challenge of comparing various attributes: across many operating conditions,for multiple units, and for alternative designs. With new tools, designers can now simulate and compare results for many units and operating conditions. This paper describes methods of condensing the results in for the form of a series of “profile” graphical presentations. These simple but effective presentations make the situation clear for the designer, supporting rapid and, even more importantly, accurate design decisions. The graphs provide practical tools to explain the tradeoffs clearly to the end user, enabling the end user to become part of the decision on design tradeoffs.
