Surge tank characteristics
Surge tank characteristics
(OP)
I asked a question in this thread
javascript:openindex(450,450,'h ttp://www. tipmaster. com/includ es/refinfo .cfm?w=450 &h=450')
about variation in surge tank air volumes and it was suggested that they can vary by up to 20% due to temeprature.
Can anyone say how such a variation in air volume would affect the damping characteristic of the tank, I assume it makes it worse / better as you are going away from the design point, but I would like to understand how it affects the amplitude / frequency response of the system.
