摘要:
A system and method for controlling a system that includes fixed speed and variable speed compressors are described. The method generally allows the system, for example, a heating, ventilating, and air condition (HVAC) system that includes fixed speed and variable speed compressors, to maximize unit modulating capability. The method allows the use of a variable speed compressor that is relatively smaller, which can lead to cost savings, easier installation, manufacturing, etc.

A fluid compressor system and method are disclosed that includes multiple compressor modules arranged in parallel using a common intercooler and a common aftercooler to enable a more efficient scheme of matching the supply of compressed fluid generated by the system with variations in demand. The embodiments include systems, apparatuses, devices, and methods for generating a compressed fluid at a desired pressure and flow volume.

A method for compression of an incoming feed air stream using at least two variable speed compressor drive assemblies controlled in tandem is provided. The first variable speed driver assembly drives at least one compression stage in the lower pressure compressor unit driven while the second variable speed driver assembly drives higher pressure compression stage disposed either in the common air compression train or the split functional compression train of the air separation plant. The first and second variable speed driver assemblies are preferably high speed, variable speed electric motor assemblies each having a motor body, a motor housing, and a motor shaft with one or more impellers directly and rigidly coupled to the motor shaft via a sacrificial rigid shaft coupling.

Provided is a compressor system including a first compressor having: an inlet at which a first inlet guide vane is provided; and an outlet pressure sensor unit configured to measure a pressure at an outlet of the first compressor; a second compressor including an inlet at which a second inlet guide vane is provided; a first control unit configured to adjust a degree of opening of the first inlet guide vane based on the pressure measured by the outlet pressure sensor unit, configured to set the outlet pressure of the first compressor as a set pressure, and configured to generate a first signal including information about the degree of opening of the first inlet guide vane; and a second control unit configured to receive the first signal, and configured to adjust a degree of opening of the second inlet guide vane to control an amount of fluid flowing into the second compressor.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for producing and controlling flow rate of a compressed gas produced by a compression system having one or more stages of compression formed by a centrifugal compressor or compressors, inlet guide vanes to control flow through the compression stage or stages and an electric motor directly coupled to the stage or stages having a restricted speed zone within which vibrational modes can damage the electric motor. A desired flow rate is obtained by speed adjustment alone and with the inlet guide vanes positioned at 0° when the speed will lie above or below the restricted speed zone. Where a desired flow rate would require extended operation of the electric motor at a speed within the restricted speed zone, the speed is set to the uppermost level of the restricted speed zone and the desired flow rate is obtained through appropriate positioning of the inlet guide vanes.
摘要:
A pumping system for evacuating gas from a plurality of chambers, includes at least one turbomolecular pump, at least two fore-vacuum pumps, at least one connection conduit extending between the at least two fore-vacuum pumps. and at least one transverse constriction for at least one of reducing and regulating gas flow.
摘要:
The leak detection appliance has a test inlet to which a test chamber containing the test specimen can be connected. A high-vacuum pump produces a high vacuum in a test gas detector. A preliminary vacuum pump contains two pump stages. In order to evacuate the test chamber, the pump stages are operated in parallel mode, with their suction capabilities being added. When the necessary vacuum has been achieved, the pump stages are operated in series in order to produce the necessary high vacuum—which is required for high detection sensitivity—on the test gas detector.
摘要:
An improved method for sequencing variable speed centrifugal compressors on and off line to ensure optimal operating efficiency in a liquid cooling system under all operating circumstances is described. The present disclosure teaches modifying equipment sequencing decisions (to add or shed a unit), based in part on the position of the compressor inlet vanes. This new approach achieves improved energy efficiency of the overall system by taking into account operating conditions of individual compressors or chillers that may be sub-optimal.
摘要:
A compression machine includes a refrigerant condenser, an expansion device, a refrigerant evaporator, a first compressor and a second compressor. Each compressor is arranged to receive lower pressure refrigerant vapor from the evaporator and to deliver higher pressure vapor to the condenser independently of the other compressor. The first compressor operates when the compression machine is operating in a first duty mode, for example a water-cooling mode. The second compressor operates when the compression machine is operating in a second duty mode, for example one of a water-heating mode or a brine cooling. The first compressor is selected for optimal performance in the first duty only and the second compressor is selected for optimal performance in the second duty mode only.
摘要:
A system and a method for adding and subtracting stages of compression to a compressor as and when the compressor requires them. If the compressor needs only a low pressure ratio, then the system and method allow the compressor to operate with only a primary pumping circuit spinning, while available additional stages, forming a secondary pumping circuit, and which may be required at other times when the needed pressure ratios increase, are decoupled from the rotating shaft, so that the compressor pumps at its most efficient and flexible point. Further, a system and method for adding and subtracting stages of compression to a compressor in order to increase and decrease the pumping capacity as and when required to satisfy a given load requirement.
