A coolant system includes a multistage compressor having a plurality of surge detection sensors. A condenser is connected to an outlet of the multistage compressor. An economizer is connected to an outlet of the condenser and has a gaseous coolant outlet and a liquid coolant outlet. The liquid coolant outlet is connected to a cooler and the gaseous coolant outlet is connected to a second or later stage of the multistage compressor via a controllable valve. A controller is communicatively coupled to the surge detection sensors and the controllable valve. The controller includes a non-transitory medium storing instructions for causing the controller to detect an occurrence of a surge and restricting a flow through the controllable valve until the surge has ceased.

In an internal combustion engine with exhaust gas turbochargers which operate in parallel and of which at least one can be switched on and off by a charge air duct blocking arrangement including a charge air duct blocking element, the charge air duct blocking arrangement is adapted to provide for a certain movement characteristic of the charge air duct blocking element resulting in a slower movement of the charge air duct blocking element resulting in a longer duration for the air duct blocking element to reach its open position and a faster movement during closing resulting in a rapid closing of the charge air duct blocking element.

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 backing 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.

In some aspects, a compressor system includes a compressor train including two or more compressors connected in series and a control mechanism. The control mechanism is controlled by a performance controller. The performance controller is operable to identify a process variable of the performance controller; receive, on a recurrent basis from a load sharing controller, a setpoint for the process variable of the performance controller; and control the control mechanism based on the setpoint and the process variable of the performance controller. The setpoint is determined dynamically during operation of the two or more compressors by the load sharing controller based on a load sharing parameter associated with the two or more compressors.

Provided is a centrifugal-chiller including one variable-speed centrifugal-compressor and one constant-speed centrifugal-compressor and capable of high-efficiency operation. A centrifugal-chiller comprising a variable-speed centrifugal-compressor whose rotational frequency can be varied by an inverter and which compresses a refrigerant; a constant-speed centrifugal-compressor connected in parallel with the variable-speed centrifugal-compressor and operated at a constant rotational speed to compress the refrigerant; and a control unit that controls the operations of the variable-speed centrifugal-compressor and the constant-speed centrifugal-compressor, wherein in the case where a required load factor of the centrifugal-chiller is less than a predetermined value, the control unit selects a variable-speed-compressor priority operating mode in which only the variable-speed centrifugal-compressor is activated, and in the case where the required load factor of the centrifugal-chiller is the predetermined value or greater, the control unit selects a combined-use operating mode in which the variable-speed centrifugal-compressor and the constant-speed centrifugal-compressor are activated.

Method and apparatus for treating a mixed hydrocarbon feed stream (10), such as a natural gas stream. The mixed hydrocarbon feed stream (10) is expanded into a mixed-phase hydrocarbon stream (20), which is separated the to provide at least a light overhead stream (30) and a heavy bottom stream (50). The light overhead stream (30) is compressed in one or more first compressors (16) to provide one or more first compressed light streams (40) and further compressed in one or more second compressors (22) to provide one or more further compressed light streams (60). One or more first compressor recycle lines (42) extend around the or each first compressor (16), and one or more second compressor recycle lines (32) having one or more in-line coolers (34) extend around the or each second compressor (22). The method and apparatus may be used in a method of cooling an initial hydrocarbon stream (100).

A bleed valve assembly for discharging bleed air into a gas turbine engine bypass plenum includes a bleed flow duct, a bleed valve, and a flow deflector. The bleed flow duct is contoured such that it delivers uniformly flowing bleed air to the flow deflector when the bleed valve is in the open position. The flow deflector has a plurality of openings formed therein. Each opening fluidly communicates the bleed air flow passage with the bypass plenum. A portion of the openings are oriented at a discharge angle such that bleed air is discharged from each opening in a direction that does not have a vector component in the direction in which air is flowing in the bypass plenum, and another portion of the openings are oriented to provide stress relief to the deflector.

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.

A turbo chiller equipped with a high-efficiency two-stage turbo compressor is provided. In a turbo chiller including a control unit for controlling the degrees of opening of first inlet guide vanes of a first impeller and second inlet guide vanes of a second impeller, the control unit has a slave mode in which the second inlet guide vanes are operated so as to be dependent on the first inlet guide vanes in a slave-mode priority region, and an independent mode in which the degree of opening of the second inlet guide vanes is increased independently of the first inlet guide vanes in an independent-mode priority region.
摘要:
A control system is provided to maintain stable operating conditions for centrifugal compressors operating in parallel when one of the centrifugal compressors enters into an unstable operating condition. The control system determines an unstable operating condition in response to signals indicating the motor current or power consumption of each compressor and the position of the pre-rotation vanes of the compressors. Once an unstable operating condition is determined, the control system closes the pre-rotation vanes to each compressor until the unstable operating condition has been corrected.
