A method for raising the maximum settling-chamber pressure in a short-duration wind tunnel equipped with pressure multipliers arranged in opposition to each other for stabilization of test gas parameters is proposed. For this purpose, a wind-tunnel design with an additional third pressure multiplier attached to the body of the second pressure multiplier was developed. The rod of the additional multiplier contacts the large-area piston stage of the second multiplier, and the pre-piston space being connected to the receiver. The inclusion of an additional pressure multiplier in the wind-tunnel design at the maximum attainable driver-gas pressure of 150−170 bar, defined by the standard industrial pressure of air used for filling wind-tunnel receivers with the driver gas, allows a two-fold increase in the maximum settling-chamber pressure, from 1100 to 2000−2200 bar. For raising the maximum settling-chamber pressure above 2000–2200 bar, the use of one additional pressure multiplier proved to be insufficient because, in the latter case, its becomes necessary to simultaneously raise the driver-gas pressure over 150−170 bar.
