This article presents a method for calculating the dynamics of fluid motion in a two-stage hybrid energy machine with a gas cap. The developed method is based on the Bernoulli energy conservation equation, taking the linear hydraulic resistances, local hydraulic resistances, and inertial forces into account. The expressions for the current coordinate values of the liquid levels and pressures in the gas cap apply to the second stage compressor section and the first stage pump section. The developed method of calculation can be used for the analysis of working processes in compressor machines based on the principle of the liquid piston.
