Abstract

It is disclosed a method for reducing the pulsation level in a multi-compressor plant where each compressor of a plurality of compressors is driven by a respective motor. The method manages to reduce the pulsation level by starting a first motor of a first compressor and then starting in succession each one of the other motors in a way to synchronize all motors between each other with a specified phase shift.
