We have a non-API reciprocating copressor where pulsation in piping is above limit in all speeds in operating range.

How can we calculate whether the compresor suction and discharge volume bottles are smaller than required or not - is not it so that larger the volumes - better the pulsation reduction ?

Presently, piping stiffness are raised by stapping the piping by clamps all around and reducing mass by using light weight valves - stronger fatigue resistant piping connections are thought of.

But, can we prove that there is no low hanging permanent solution in mechanical intervention and acoustic pulsation damper with larger volume bottles will be permanent solution ?
