    摘要: A vapor compression system and method for operating the vapor compression system are provided. The vapor compression system includes a compressor, a condenser, and at least one check valve disposed between the compressor and the condenser. The method provides for the transmitting of a shutdown command to the compressor, the compressor including a rotating shaft and a magnetic bearing, the magnetic bearing having an active mode and an inactive mode, the magnetic bearing levitating the rotating shaft in the active mode. The method further provides for the maintaining of the magnetic bearing in the active mode during a minimum time period, the magnetic bearing switching from the active mode to the inactive mode after the minimum time period is reached.

    摘要: A diffuser for a centrifugal compressor and a centrifugal compressor having the same. The diffuser (100) comprises a drive component (110), a transmission assembly (120), an adjustment assembly (130), a spool valve assembly (140) and a rear wall (150); wherein the transmission assembly is used for transmitting power produced by the drive component to the adjustment assembly, the adjustment assembly is capable of circumferentially reciprocating with respect to the rear wall and driving the spool valve assembly to reciprocate axially; and wherein a rolling element (160) is provided between the adjustment assembly and the rear wall. Intervention of a mechanism for adjusting a flow passage width is better achieved by such an arrangement in combination with an existing configuration of the diffuser; and a low-friction fit between the adjustment assembly and the rear wall is achieved by the rolling element.

    摘要: A method of operating a heat exchanger system in which a compressor, which is drivable by a motor, is fluidly interposed between an evaporator and a condenser following receipt of a shutdown command is provided. The method includes positioning inlet guide vanes (IGVs) of the compressor in a first position in the event of at least one of a first precondition being in effect and the first and a second precondition both not being in effect. The method further includes positioning the IGVs in a second position in an event the first precondition is not in effect but the second precondition is in effect, ramping a speed of the compressor down until a third precondition takes effect, removing power from the motor and positioning the IGVs in the first position once power is removed from the motor.

    摘要: The present utility model relates to a deflector for a condenser. The condenser has an inlet in communication with a compressor, and a deflector for guiding a refrigerant gas flow from the compressor is arranged in the condenser and at a position close to the inlet. The deflector is provided with a deflecting structure projecting toward the inlet, and the deflecting structure is configured as impermeable to the refrigerant gas flow. The present utility model further provides a condenser having the deflector for a condenser and a refrigeration system equipped with the condenser. The deflector for a condenser according to the present utility model not only can alleviate the impact of high-temperature high-pressure gas from the compressor but also can reduce noise and vibration.
