5.6 Baffle Plates
Baffle plates are an effective way to easily reduce gas
pulsation; however, they have several limitations. They
can result in a pressure drop that is too large when the
suction pressure is too far above, or the discharge pres-
sure is too far below, design conditions. Carlyle, there-
fore, recommends applying baffle plates in a manner
that avoids high pressure drops. They are best used in
service applications where occasionally excessive line
vibration is found. Also see Carlyle Bulletin 99T-4 for
additional application information.
