Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Verbund(kälte)anlage mit wenigstens zwei parallel geschalteten Verdichtern.
Unter dem Begriff "Verbund(kälte)anlage" sei eine wie im folgenden beschriebene Verbundkälteanlage sowie Verbundanlagen, die der Verdichtung beliebiger Medien für andere Zwecke dienen, zu verstehen.
Dokument EP-A-06 07 101 offenbart eine solche Anlage.
Bei Verbund(kälte)anlagen stellt die betriebssichere Ölversorgung der Verdichter, die in einem gemeinsamen (Kältemittel)Kreislauf arbeiten, oftmals ein Problem dar. Zur Gewährleistung einer betriebssicheren Ölversorgung werden bisher unterschiedliche Ölstandsreguliersysteme, wie beispielsweise Ölspiegelregulatoren, verwendet. Diese unterliegen jedoch einem Verschleiß und erfordern bei anderen Systemen Einstellarbeiten am Ölsystem während der Inbetriebnahme.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Verbund(kälte)anlage anzugeben, bei dem die erwähnten Nachteile weitestgehend vermieden werden.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Verbund(kälte)anlage mit wenigstens zwei parallel geschalteten Verdichtern zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass ein Abschalten der Verdichter nur dann erfolgt, wenn alle über wenigstens eine Ölausgleichsleitung miteinander verbundenen Verdichter in Betrieb sind, wobei das Abschalten der Verdichter erfolgt, bevor die zulässige Mindestölmenge innerhalb eines Verdichters erreicht ist.
Prinzipiell kann ein Abschalten der Verdichter zum Zwecke des Ölausgleiches auch dann erfolgen, wenn nicht alle über wenigstens eine Ölausgleichsleitung miteinander verbundenen Verdichter in Betrieb sind. Jedoch ist ein Abschalten der Verdichter in diesem Fall nicht zwingend erforderlich, da es bereits während des Betriebs zu einem Ölausgleich zwischen den in Betrieb und den außer Betrieb befindlichen Verdichtern kommt.
Der Ölausgleich erfolgt zwischen den einzelnen Verdichtem bzw. zwischen den Verdichtem, zwischen denen das in der Ölausgleichsleitung vorgesehene Absperrorgan geöffnet ist, während der Stillstände aller Verdichter. Während dieser Zeit kommt es in den Ölreservoirs der parallel geschalteten Verdichter zu einem Druckausgleich, der dazu führt, dass sich in den Ölreservoirs gleiche Ölstände einstellen.
Die Betriebszeiten der Verdichter bis zu ihrem Abschalten sind hierbei so zu wählen, dass der minimal zulässige Ölstand innerhalb der Verdichter aufgrund der zwangsläufig während des Verdichterbetriebes auftretenden Ölverlagerung noch nicht unterschritten wird. Die Stillstandsphasen der Verdichter müssen zeitlich so bemessen sein, dass ein ausreichender Ölausgleich zwischen den Verdichtem gewährleistet werden kann und eine wesentliche Beeinträchtigung der Kälteversorgung durch die Verdichter der erfindungsgemäßen Verbund(kälte)anlage vermieden wird.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Verbund(kälte)anlage erfordert gegenüber dem Stand der Technik einen geringeren konstruktiven Aufwand. Dies führt zu Investitions- und Betriebskosteneinsparungen. Da weitestgehend auf die Verwendung mechanisch bewegter Bauteile verzichtet werden kann, wird die Betriebssicherheit des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zum Betreiben einer Verbund(kälte)anlage erhöht. Die Erfindung ermöglicht zudem das Kombinieren von gleichen und ungleichen Verdichtern.
