Abstract

Positive displacement pumps produce pressure ripple that can be reduced with the attenuation of the generated flow ripple. This paper presents the application of a gas bladder hydraulic damper with the aim of reducing the oscillations of the delivery flow rate of positive displacement machines. This work is focused on the development of a 1D fluid dynamic model of the damper, which is based on the fundamental fluid motion equations applied for a mono-dimensional flow. In order to represent the fluid flow inside the damper, a particular evaluation of the sound speed has been implemented. Experimental tests have been performed involving an axial piston pump with the damper installed in the delivery pipe to validate the model; tests were carried out at different pump working conditions and with different gas precharge pressure of the damper. The test results confirmed the effectiveness of the device, and the comparison with numerical results demonstrated a good agreement. Simulations have been carried out to investigate the influence of various parameters on damper effectiveness.
