The discussion revolves around the introduction of variable pressure into a system, specifically exploring the use of piston pumps to achieve controlled fluctuating pressures. Participants are examining the feasibility of this approach in the context of an experiment involving pressure fluctuations and the challenges associated with generating these fluctuations.
Participants express varying viewpoints on the effectiveness of piston pumps for generating variable pressure, with some suggesting alternative methods like using valves. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the best approach to achieve the desired pressure fluctuations.
Participants have not provided complete specifications for the system, such as the exact pressures required or the type of fluid, which may affect the proposed solutions. There is also uncertainty about the feasibility of achieving the desired frequency of pressure oscillations with the current setup.
banerjeerupak said:I am working on an experiment where i would like to see how the system responds to pressure fluctuations.
I tried using a stepper motor and a cam arrangement to create pulses in the pipe carrying water to the system. However, I can't get higher frequencies of pressure oscillations.
I have flow rates in the range of 0.01 to 0.09 ml / min. I have a syringe pump to take care of that. However, I am unable to figure out how to introduce pressure oscillations into the system.
That is when i thought a piston pump working at low rpm may do the trick. The pressure need not be fixed, but should be consistent.
Hope this info is more adequate.
Thanks
