A fluid delivery and control system is provided for a fluid delivery line having elastic components. The system includes a pressure sensor, an electronically controlled valve, processing circuitry, and computer program code logic. The pressure sensor is operative to detect fluid pressure within a fluid delivery line. The electronically controlled valve includes an adjustable flow regulating aperture disposed in the line, interposed along a linear flow axis, and operative to regulate fluid flow through the line. The processing circuitry communicates with the pressure sensor and the electronically controlled valve. The computer program code logic is executed by the processing circuitry and is configured to generate an output signal. The output signal comprises an operating parameter of at least one of the pressure sensor and the electronically controlled valve to adjust flow capacity of the flow regulating aperture of the valve to dissipate pressure oscillations within the fluid delivery line. A method is also provided.

A test door has wheels mounted thereon so that one person can easily roll the door to a doorway of a house to be installed. The test door has a fan permanently mounted thereon. The test door has panels or flaps, which slide against the doorway to seal the doorway against leaks. The door has mounted thereon a speed control device, and a tachometer to determine the speed of the fan. The door also has mounted thereon a differential pressure gauge so that the pressure difference from the inside to outside of the door can be measured. Therefore, to determine the amount of leakage of air from a house, the door is rolled to the doorway and quickly placed in the doorway by sliding the flaps out until they seal the doorway. Then by starting the fan, a determination is made as to the amount of air loss for different fan speeds and differential pressures.
