Experimental tests of gas pressure pulsation
The test stand for experimental tests of pressure pulsation, designed by the MechLab team, is equipped with a piston compressor driven by an electric motor. At the stand, it is possible to measure pressure pulsations using dedicated pressure transducers and to determine experimental transmission loss characteristics of passive pulsation dampers. As a result of experimental research, it is possible to create new concepts of passive pulsation dampers for industrial applications.

Acoustic simulations of passive pressure pulsation dampers
Numerical simulations of the transmission loss characteristics of passive pulsation dampers include:
- Comparative tests of various types of passive pressure pulsation dampers,
- Investigation of the influence of various arrangement of the damper nozzles on the transmission loss characteristics,
- Comparison of 3D and 1D simulation models,
- Introducing changes to analytical models based on experimental research,
- Development of new concepts of passive pressure pulsation dampers.

Acoustic simulations of gas pressure pulsation in piping systems according to API 618 std.
The MechLab team also performs acoustic calculations of pressure pulsations for pipelines according to API 618 std. and performs measurements of pressure pulsations and vibrations on real objects.
