ing one or more of the sympathetic frequencies, or changing the pump
generating frequency by a change of speed or blade number. With a
bolted-on crossover a simpler solution is to add calculated pipe length
between pump case and cross-over, which will change the wave length
and relocate the acoustic frequency away from the generating frequency
(Figure 10-21),
