    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a turbo compressor which is provided with an open impeller and has the minimal gap between the shroud and the impeller such that efficiency is improved and the safe operating region is enlarged; and a turbo chiller using the same. The turbo compressor is provided with an open impeller with a shroud provided on the side of a casing, and the rotary shaft is supported by a radial magnetic bearing and a magnetic thrust bearing. The turbo compressor is provided with a control unit that comprises: a load calculating means that calculates the axial thrust load generated by the pressure distribution of the compressor; and an axial support position control means that controls a gap between the impeller and the shroud to be a target gap by varying, on the basis of the axial thrust load, the axial support position of the rotary shaft due to the magnetic thrust bearing.

    摘要: The present invention has an object to suppress an overshoot in the outlet temperature of a heat medium. A heat source machine controlling apparatus includes a computing unit and a set temperature changing unit. The computing unit calculates a load change rate using a predetermined arithmetic expression. The set temperature changing unit determines whether or not the load change rate calculated by the computing unit exceeds a predetermined threshold value. In the case where the load change rate exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the set temperature changing unit changes a set chilled water outlet temperature so as to suppress a change in a chilled water outlet temperature. For example, in the case where the chilled water outlet temperature is on a falling trend, if the set chilled water outlet temperature is set to a relatively high value, the heat source machine load decreases, and the chilled water outlet temperature is controlled to coincide with the set chilled water outlet temperature after the change. Consequently, an overshoot can be suppressed.

    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to install an economizer having a sufficient internal volume in a compact turbo refrigeration apparatus specifically using a low-pressure refrigerant, and reduce refrigerant pressure loss and enhance efficiency in the turbo refrigeration apparatus. The turbo refrigeration apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a turbo compressor which compresses a refrigerant; a condenser which condenses the compressed refrigerant; a control valve which causes the condensed refrigerant to expand; an evaporator which causes the expanded refrigerant to evaporate; and an economizer which is installed in such a manner as to be sandwiched between the condenser and the evaporator, and separates the refrigerant expanded by the control valve into gas and liquid. The economizer is installed adjacent to a curved wall, having a drum shell shape, of the condenser and/or the evaporator, the curved wall being shared with the structural wall of the economizer. The economizer has a height (H) greater than the maximum width (W) thereof when viewed in the longitudinal direction thereof.
