    摘要: A multi-stage compression system in which gases compressed by a pair of first-stage compressors are compressed by subsequent compressors connected to the first-stage compressors in series includes a valve control unit configured to output open/close signals for opening/closing valves for adjusting flow rates of gases flowing into the first-stage compressors provided at inlet sides of the first-stage compressors. The valve control unit outputs an open/close signal having a difference less than or equal to a predetermined value with respect to a degree of opening of the valve before malfunction determination as the open/close signal until a malfunction is eliminated after the determination of the malfunction in which one of the valves does not have a degree of opening according to the open/close signal.

    摘要: A control device (101) that controls a fuel gas supply system (100) that comprises: a compressor (1) that supplies compressed fuel gas to a load apparatus (15); an inflow amount regulating means (5) that regulates the amount of fuel gas that flows into the compressor (1); and an anti-surge valve (7) that is for returning to an inlet side of the compressor (1) fuel gas that is discharged from the compressor (1). The control device (101) comprises: a main pressure-control unit (101a) that controls the inflow amount regulating means (5) and the anti-surge valve (7) on the basis of a feedforward control value that is generated on the basis of the load of the load apparatus (15) and of a prescribed conversion process, and on the basis of a feedback control value that is generated on the basis of the deviation between a set value and a measured value for the discharge pressure of the compressor (1); and an emergency pressure-control unit (101b) that calculates a bias-added control value that is found by adding a predetermined bias value to an anti-surge valve control value that is for controlling the anti-surge valve (7) and that is calculated on the basis of at least one of the feedforward control value and the feedback control value, and that, on the basis of the occurrence of load variations that are at or above a prescribed value, switches between the anti-surge control value and the bias-added control value and controls the anti-surge valve (7).

    摘要: A pressure increasing system includes a plurality of stages of compressors configured to compress carbon dioxide to a pressure higher than a critical pressure; intermediate coolers cooling the carbon dioxide discharged from a compressor in a preceding stage; a subcooler provided between a seventh stage compressor in the final stage and a sixth stage compressor in a preceding stage and cools the carbon dioxide; a bypass line through which the carbon dioxide in the inlet of the seventh stage compressor is extracted, depressurized and supplied to the subcooler as a refrigerant; a flow rate adjusting valve provided on the bypass line; and a control unit configured to regulate a degree of opening of the flow rate adjusting valve so that at least one of a temperature and a pressure of the carbon dioxide in the inlet of the seventh stage compressor remains constant.

    摘要: A gas expander includes: a casing where a swirl chamber for a gas to be expanded is formed; a turbine wheel that is housed in the casing and rotationally driven by the expanded gas; a diffuser that is mounted to the casing in a direction of a rotating shaft of the turbine wheel and includes a flow path for the expanded gas to flow in the direction of the rotating shaft; a swirl stopper that is disposed in the diffuser, faces a downstream front end surface of a boss of the turbine wheel that faces the flow path, and includes a closed swirl stopping surface that is disposed to face the downstream front end surface of the boss with a gap between the closed swirl stopping surface and the downstream front end surface; and a swirl preventing plate that circumferentially partition the flow path in the diffuser.
