Data of field experiments are given, which show the increase in the stiffness modulus by a factor of 10–100 or more in comparison with the static stiffness for all types of serially produced compensators with a growth of their deformation frequency. It is shown that if there is weakly compressible working fluid, the compensator stiffness increases additionally by one to two orders of magnitude with a growth of vibration frequency, and by a factor of 10–100 if there is a flow of working fluid through the compensator. Based on the obtained study results, factors causing these phenomena have been revealed: these are the structural resonances of compensator elastic elements, pressure pulsations, and generation of vortices in the compensator and in adjacent pipelines. Methods for decreasing the influence of the above-mentioned phenomena on the increase in the pipeline compensator’s frequency dependent stiffness by means of design measures are proposed and have been validated experimentally. It is pointed out that, if the pipeline systems furnished with compensators are designed proceeding from static stiffness values of the compensators without taking into account the increase in the dynamic stiffness as a consequence of above-mentioned factors, this may entail gross errors in performing design calculations of vibration insulation along the pipeline route. It is shown that for decreasing the transfer of vibration through a compensator filled with weakly compressible liquid (water), it is insufficient to decrease only its structural dynamic stiffness.

Pressure pulsations of various origins both inside the compensator and in the adjacent pipelines are among the most significant factors causing the compensator dynamic stiffness to increase. The article discusses the results of experimental studies aimed at decreasing the pressure pulsations by a factor of 10–100 in a wide frequency band by means of pressure pulsation dampeners (PPD) of various designs. By experiments on a test bench containing a short pipeline carried out with specifying different boundary conditions at the pipeline ends, the influence of PPD designs on the pressure pulsations and the dynamic forces caused by the pulsations were determined. It is shown that through installing elastic elements along the pipeline length, it is possible to implement an efficient pulsation dampening configuration similar to multicascade vibration isolation, which can help decrease pulsations by as much as 40 dB in a wide frequency band from 30 to 1600 Hz or higher. It has been determined experimentally that combined use of a wide-band PPD and Helmholtz resonator helps achieve more efficient damping of pulsations. A change of boundary conditions at the pipeline ends has an effect on the vibration and dynamic forces produced by pressure pulsations in the pipeline. A conclusion has been drawn that there is a need to carry out further studies with the aim to determine the principles for optimal placement of PPDs in a pipeline to minimize the effect of pressure pulsations on the pipeline vibration and on the dynamic forces transferred.

For promptly monitoring the equipment state based on a comparative analysis of international [ASME PTC 30–1991 (R2021), EN 1048:2022, CTI STD-201, T/CECS 680-2020] and corporate (STO Gazprom 2-3.5-253-2008) standards, an engineering procedure for estimating the DMDCC thermal performance has been developed.

For the analysis automation purposes, a software system implementing a so-called extract-filter-derive (EED) algorithm involving adaptive dimensionless filtration for identifying stationary operating mode periods has been developed.

The parameters appearing in the Stodola formula are easily determined in a calculation or a simple experiment. However, for evaluating the flowrate coefficient appearing in the Stodola formula, a special experiment has to be carried out for each throttle type. It is also necessary to calculate the straightness ratio, which takes into account incomplete velocity deceleration. For determining the flowrate coefficient and straightness ratio, specialists of the MPEI Department for Steam and Gas Turbines proposed—as far back as the 1950s—simple relationships, which are still used nowadays without any updating. The problem of more accurately assessing the leaks through seals still remains of issue. An important feature of the dependences for the stiffness of aerodynamic overshroud force nonconservative components on the tip clearance obtained at the NRU MPEI is that there is a maximum in the area of its relatively small values (0.5–0.7 mm). In addition, it has been found that the nonconservative component of the aerodynamic force that emerges in overshroud tip clearances is almost inversely proportional to the flowrate through these seals. Thus, to ensure acceptable leak flowrate through these seals under the conditions of a tradeoff between minimizing the clearance for reducing the leak and increasing the clearance to avoid self-exited vibration from occurring, it is necessary to improve the leak determination accuracy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of the methods applied for calculating the flowrate coefficient and straightness ratio. To this end, a special model has been designed and produced, which makes it possible to study geometrically similar straight-flow seals and seals with complete deceleration of velocity in the chamber. It has been shown that, whatever the convenience of using the dimensionless ratio of tip clearance to the fin end thickness for determining the flowrate coefficient, one should not overestimate its versatility, and that the currently used flowrate coefficient dependence on the dimensionless ratio needs updating.</p>","PeriodicalId":799,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Engineering","volume":"73 7","pages":"530 - 536"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148823120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the LPC-3 with radial guide vanes of all stages was virtually studied only in the nominal mode of operation. A computer program for 2D verification gas dynamic calculation of the LPC flow path was used as the virtual test bench. In order to obtain stable results of complex calculations, this program was incorporated into the core of the main software implementing the nonlinear computer optimization method, which is a combination of the relaxation method (the alternating-variable descent method, the Gauss–Seidel method) and direct version ordering method according to the performance criterion (the direct search method). The tests performed have shown that in the nominal operation mode, the LPC-3 is inferior to the LPC-2 and LPC-1 in the power output and economic efficiency. In a wide variation range of operating parameters, up to the last stage windage modes, the LPC-2 is more preferred than the LPC-1 in power (by up to 1.8 MW) and efficiency (by up to 1.6%). The virtual tests have made it possible to obtain the gas dynamic characteristics of all compartment stages, and for the last stages of the LPC-2 and LPC-1 compartments—in a wide range of operation parameters, up to the windage modes.</p>","PeriodicalId":799,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Engineering","volume":"73 7","pages":"523 - 529"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148823062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
