Abstract:
A pulsation dampening apparatus for providing a selectively variable orifice size fir a reciprocating compressor system includes a rotatable conical cage and a fixed conical cage, the conical cages being aligned along a central axis to firm a central cylindrical port. The conical cages each include at least one window or port and have mating contours allowing the conical cages to rotatably slide over one another, allowing their respective ports to be selectively aligned in any configuration to create any desired effective orifice size. In one embodiment, each of the conical cages include a plurality of ports which can be selectively aligned, the relative alignment of the ports determining the effective orifice size of the pulsation dampening apparatus.

Claim (Index 13):
The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the shaft is shaped to complimentarily engage a manual wrench for adjusting the effective orifice size of the apparatus.
