Stabilize pressure in compressor inlet
Stabilize pressure in compressor inlet
(OP)
Hello all,
I have a compression system where my compressor suctions Argon gas from a cryogenic tank. the pressure from the tank is in the range 50-75 psig (my compressor works with 50 psig suction pressure). I want to keep constant this pressure for the compressor inlet , My boss is telling me that with a buffer tank arrangement in the inlet of the compressor I could stabilize the pressure but I think just with a Pressure control valve is enough.
Please I want your advices in this topic.
thanks in advance

I agree with you about only use a Pressure regulator. The instability in my process is something inevitable due the behavior of the fluid. it is changing of phase (liquid to gas) frequently in the vessel and this is the reason because the pressure is not constant.
