Simulation in the Design of Gas Pressure Control Equipment

摘要

To investigate the effects of changes in significant parameters of gas supply network pressure regulating equipment, a regulator model was established. The modeling of a supply network posed particular problems due to the large variation in actual pipework arrangements. Acoustic analysis was used to identify a representative characterization of a network. Use of computer simulation to establish appropriate response criteria and aid the design of a regulator to satisfy these criteria is described.
