    摘要: The present invention is directed to a power transformer and VSD mounted on the chiller equipment. The transformer is preferably a liquid-filled transformer rated for medium/high voltage input, and at least two output low voltages, one voltage for the VSD and other power equipment, and another voltage for the control panel and control equipment. The placement of the power transformer on the chiller eliminates the need to allocate additional floor space for an auxiliary transformer or medium/high voltage VSD. The transformer also includes cooling means in the form of a heat exchanger in which the liquid is cooled by circulating condenser water, chilled water or refrigerant from the chiller system. The cooling means may also be connected to cooling coils connected to the VSD. The size of the power transformer is significantly reduced by the use of the chiller system to remove heat from the transformer while in operation, thereby maintaining the ambient temperature rise of the transformer within its rated operating temperature range. The transformer and VSD heat is discharged to the outside ambient eliminating additional cooling requirements for the equipment room.

    摘要: A probe is used to detect axial movement of a rotating part such as a shaft. The probe includes a probe tube portion that protrudes into an annular groove on the rotating part. When the rotating part moves axially, one or the other side surfaces of the groove contacts the probe tube. This contact leads to a changed state of the probe, that is sensed by a sensor.

    摘要: The power delivered from a three-phase A-C power source and through a network of SCR's (connected, for example, to form a full wave rectifier bridge or to provide an A-C switch) to a load circuit is adjusted by controlling the conduction angles of the SCR's. The control is achieved by developing, from only one of the three alternating phase voltages provided by the A-C power supply, a reference square wave signal of the same frequency and whose amplitude excursions are precisely synchronized or keyed to the zero voltage crossings of the selected phase voltage, even though that phase voltage may include undesired harmonics, noise, transients or other distortion components. Since the influence of the undesired signal components has now been eliminated and since the reference square wave signal also has a fixed phase relationship with the other two phase voltages, logic circuitry may be controlled by the reference square wave signal, and by a d-c control voltage representing a desired power flow to the load circuit, to produce gating signals for triggering the SCR's into conduction at the angles required to translate the desired power to the load circuit. With this arrangement, control of all three phases is made immune to undesired signal components in any of the phase voltages.

    摘要: The control system disclosed herein regulates a centrifugal compressor which has inlet guide vanes adjustable to vary the compressor capacity. A variable speed motor is connected to drive the compressor, and variation of this motor speed provides another input for regulating the compressor capacity. A control system achieves optimum energy efficiency, while avoiding surge, by the manner in which the motor speed and the inlet guide vane positions are regulated. To do this, a control signal must be derived to indicate the compressor head value. This signal is achieved by providing two signals, one related to the absolute condenser pressure, and the second related to the absolute evaporator pressure. The control system operates on these two signals to provide a third signal which is a function of a ratio, in which the numerator is the difference between the condenser and evaporator pressures, and the denominator is the evaporator pressure. Alternative measurement and processing techniques are described. This signal affords a very good indication of the compressor head and thus achieves increased efficiency of system operation, with consequent energy conservation, especially at lighter loads and low heads.

    摘要: A single medium voltage starter box is mounted on a chiller unit with the other components of the chiller system. The starter box can be positioned on the chiller system unit to permit the starter box to be close coupled to the motor, and specifically to the main motor lead exit hub without the need for any power conduit connections between the starter box and the motor. In addition, the starter box also does not require any control interface and receives controls from a control panel. A short conduit connection between the control panel and the starter box is used to provide the necessary connections between the control panel and the starter box.

    摘要: An adjustable surge and capacity control system for matching a capacity control system to an inverter-driven centrifugal compressor based liquid chiller having unknown surge characteristics. The necessary adaptation of the capacity control circuit to a particular chiller is attained by the provision of two potentiometers which are adjustable to develop a functional which avoids surge and operates the system in an efficient manner at all feasible operating point loads and heads. The use of a circuit employing a pair of potentiometers permits the formation of the appropriate functional with two degrees of shaping flexibility.
