Method and Device for Acoustic Length Testing of Compressor

A computer readable medium including computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed, implement a method for determining frequencies of various components of a volume choke volume dampener to be attached to a compressor, the method comprising:

• providing a system comprising distinct software modules, wherein the distinct software modules comprise a frequency calculation module, a special calculation module, and an acoustic Campbell module;
• determining a sound spectrum of a cavity of the compressor without attaching the dampener to the compressor;
• calculating by the frequency calculation module an acoustic wavelength of the cavity;
• receiving a length of a proximal nozzle of the dampener;
• and
• calculating by the special calculation module, based on the acoustic wavelength of the cavity and the length of the proximal nozzle of the dampener, multiple order frequencies associated with the proximal nozzle of the dampener and the cavity of the compressor, wherein the proximal nozzle of the dampener is proximal to the cavity of the compressor when the dampener is attached to the compressor.
