Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a compressor with the following steps:
- the invention also relates to an arrangement with which the method is feasible.
- Compressors in particular turbocompressors usually require a bypass line, so that when starting or in operating states with little promotion always a sufficient flow or mass flow or flow or volume flow can be promoted through the compressor in order not to fall below the surge limit.
- the surge limit - a limit line in the map of the compressor - can only be approximated to a certain safety distance by operating the compressor.
- a surge limit controller determines a critical proximity to the surge limit in the characteristic map of the compressor and causes it to react accordingly.
- the opening of a bypass valve in order to relax the gas at an elevated pressure in an outlet line of the compressor, so that it can be fed back on the suction side of the compressor.
- the compressor in this case usually means a compression unit, which promotes a process gas flow to an elevated pressure.
- the compressor is also often referred to as a process stage.
- cooled bypass lines Basically, a distinction is made between cooled bypass lines and uncooled bypass lines.
- the gas is withdrawn either directly after the last stage of the compressor - before an eventually existing aftercooler - or downstream of a cooler located behind the last stage - so that it is either an uncooled or cooled bypass.
- a cooler only for the bypass line, so that the outlet of the compressor is uncooled in normal operation with closed bypass line.
- the uncooled bypass is mainly used on media with a pronounced Joule-Thomson effect. By throttling in the bypass valve, the temperature of the medium decreases, so that additional cooling of the blown amount of these gases is often not required. The amount is dependent on the final pressure.
- the suction temperature of the compressor changes regularly when a bypass valve is opened.
- the invention has set itself the task of eliminating the above-described problems with the surge limit control and the opening of the bypass valve and thus to give the compressor a higher availability.
- the solution according to the invention provides a method of the aforementioned type with the additional characterizing features of claim 1.
- an arrangement according to the independent device claim is proposed.
- the first bypass flow, the second bypass flow and a mixture of the two bypass flows are controllable according to the invention, so that an advantageous condition for the intake condition of the compressor. te temperature can be set. In this way, in addition to the avoidance of pumping, an efficiency optimization of the overall system can take place with the aid of the surge limit controller. Since a bypass station according to the invention regularly by means of valves the size of the first bypass stream, the second
- An advantageous development of the invention provides that the operating parameters of the compressor for controlling the supply of the first bypass current and / or the second
- Bypass flow or the temperature of the second bypass flow or the temperature of a mixture of the first bypass flow and the second bypass flow or the mass flow of the first bypass flow or the mass flow of the second bypass flow or the chemical composition of the intake flow or the chemical composition of the first bypass flow or the chemical composition of the second Bypass current or a speed of the compressor or a pressure ratio or a pressure ratio of the compressor can be.
- a combination of the aforementioned parameters is the basis for the control of the supply line of the first bypass flow or the second bypass flow.
- Bypass flow and / or the second bypass flow configured such that the intake flow into the inlet of the compressor after supplying the first bypass flow and / or the second bypass flow approaches a first set temperature.
- Bypass flow or a mixture thereof and a thermodynamic in the control of the resulting temperature in the inlet of the compressor Furthermore, it is conceivable for the first bypass flow and the second bypass flow or a mixture of the two bypass flows to be released before entry into the intake flow by means of a valve or another throttle and the resulting Joule-Thomson effect from the control algorithm of the control is taken into account as a temperature change, so that temperature measurements upstream of this expansion valve or of this expansion throttle are sufficient to determine the temperature of the supply line of the bypass flow into the intake flow with sufficient accuracy.
- a regulation of the process fluid is stored in the control.
- the mass flow of the first bypass flow and / or the second bypass flow and / or a mixture of the two bypass flows - for example by means of a differential pressure measurement via a throttle - and to forward this measured value to the control of the bypass station, so that the sum of bypass streams fed into the intake stream as a function of their temperature and composition leads to the desired thermodynamics, in particular to the desired temperature of the intake stream entering the compressor.
- the control bypass valves it is the task of the control bypass valves to adjust the first bypass flow, the second bypass flow and / or a mixture of the two
- FIG. 1 shows a basic schematic representation of a flowchart of an arrangement according to the invention or a method, in each case a more specific exemplary embodiment of the invention as a schematic flow diagram, a simplified schematic representation of the logic of the controller for controlling the
- FIGS. 1 to 5 each show a schematic flow diagram of an arrangement according to the invention for illustration of the invention inventive method.
- FIG. 1 is somewhat more general in the description of the invention.
- FIG. 6 shows a logic diagram for the exemplary illustration of the method according to the invention for the example of an arrangement according to FIG. 2.
- FIG. 1 shows an inventive arrangement with a compressor CO, which is shown here by way of example with a stage STI, which compresses a suction flow MF to an outlet flow VF, wherein the compressor CO is cooled by means of an intermediate cooling IC.
- a cooler COL On the outlet side of the compressor CO is a cooler COL, which cools the compressed outlet flow VF or a partial flow thereof.
- FIG. 1 shows two different alternatives ALT1, ALT2, how the compressed fluid of the outlet flow is to be supplied to any subsequent consumer. In the first alternative ALTl, any consumer CON receives exclusively cooled outlet flow VF, the second alternative ALT2 providing that the consumer CON receives uncooled outlet flow VF.
- a flap valve CV is provided on the output side prior to the connection of a consumer CON, so that the arrangement can be disconnected by the consumer, for example when it is at a standstill.
- Bypassstation a first bypass flow BFl supplied by means of a first bypass line BLl. Downstream of the radiator COL of the bypass station BS, a second bypass stream BF2 means a second bypass line BL2 supplied.
- the bypass station BST controls the amount of the bypass flows BF2, BF2 depending on operating parameters of the compressor and passes the first bypass flow BFl and the second bypass flow BF2 - here as a mixture through a third bypass line BL3 as a mixed third bypass flow BF3 upstream of the inlet IN of the compressor CO the Intake flow MF too.
- a controller CU controls the bypass station BST in such a way that, depending on operating parameters of the compressor CO, a specific bypass flow or supply line of the first bypass flow BF1 and of the second bypass flow BF2 takes place in each case.
- the main objective of the control is to prevent the state of pumping the compressor CO.
- the controller can also serve to improve the efficiency.
- the compressor CO there has an inlet guide IGV in the region of the inlet IN.
- the inlet guide IGV allows the adjustment of inlet guide vanes such that a certain inflow angle l of the intake flow MF takes place in the first stage STl of the compressor CO.
- the compressor CO has two intermediate cooling circuits IC1, IC2, which are arranged between the first stage ST1 and a second stage ST2 or the second stage ST2 and a third stage ST3. Downstream of the third stage ST3 is the outlet EX of the compressor CO, where the compressed outlet stream VF is introduced into an outlet line EXL. Upstream of the following cooler COL is possibly.
- a second bypass flow BF2 is fed by means of a second bypass line BL2 to a surge limit valve PGV or to the second bypass valve BV2 of the bypass valves BV, which controls the supply of this cold bypass flow to a mixer MX, in which the two bypass flows BF1, BF2 with each other be mixed.
- a surge limit controller ASC of a control unit CU of the bypass station BST signals a ratio calculator PCU the specifications for controlling the supply line of the bypass currents BF1, BF2, which ratio computer PCU controls the bypass valves BV accordingly.
- Control of the supply line takes place in dependence on operating parameters of the compressor CO in a broader sense.
- the temperatures are measured by means of temperature measuring points, wherein the temperature of the intake flow by means of a first temperature measuring point TTl, the temperature of the outlet flow VF by means of a second temperature measuring point TT2, the temperature of the third bypass flow BF3 by means of a third temperature measuring point TT3 and optionally the temperature downstream of Cooler COL is measured by means of a fourth temperature measuring point TT4.
- the pressure of the intake flow is determined by means of a first pressure measuring point PT1 and the pressure of the outlet flow VF is determined by means of a second pressure measuring point PT2.
- FIG. 3 shows that the first bypass flow BF1 and the second bypass flow BV2 are fed directly to a first bypass valve BV2 designed as a 3-way proportional valve, which is directly controlled by the ratio calculator PCU.
- the total amount of the resulting third bypass flow BV3 is set by the second bypass valve BV2, which is controlled by the surge limit regulator ASC.
- the 3-way proportional valve or mixing valve builds in this arrangement no significant pressure and can therefore be designed inexpensively in flap construction.
- a third non-return valve CV3 is downstream
- the first bypass valve BV1 would be provided in the second bypass line BL2, so that the outlet flow VF does not flow to the pressure-side process while bypassing the cooler COL through the first bypass valve BV1.
- FIG. 4 Another alternative is shown in Figure 4, in which instead of a mixing valve in the second bypass line BL2 designed as a control valve first bypass valve BVl is provided in the first bypass line BLl, which the first bypass flow BFl in one of the ratio calculator PCU controlled proportion of the second bypass current BF2 admixed before the mixture is supplied to the second bypass valve BV2, which relaxes the resulting third bypass flow in the third bypass line BL3 controlled by the surge limiter ASC.
- first bypass valve BVl instead of a mixing valve in the second bypass line BL2 designed as a control valve first bypass valve BVl is provided in the first bypass line BLl, which the first bypass flow BFl in one of the ratio calculator PCU controlled proportion of the second bypass current BF2 admixed before the mixture is supplied to the second bypass valve BV2, which relaxes the resulting third bypass flow in the third bypass line BL3 controlled by the surge limiter ASC.
- the outlet flow VF in front of the radiator COL is at a slightly higher pressure than downstream of the radiator, so that when the first bypass valve BV1 is partially open, still some of the warm first bypass flow enters the first bypass line BL1 .
- this effect can be additionally supported by selecting a smaller cross-section for the part of the second bypass line BL2 between the tap behind the cooler COL and the junction of the warmer first bypass flow BV1, or by installing a screen.
- FIG. 5 A further modification of the system is shown in FIG. 5, in which a first orifice TH1 causes a certain back pressure in the second bypass line BL2.
- the measurement of a differential pressure PDT via the first orifice TH1 makes it possible for the ratio calculator PCU to set the first bypass valve BV1, which is also designed here as a mixing valve, such that at the third temperature measuring point TT3 in the third bypass line BL3 downstream of the second
- FIG. 6 shows the mode of operation of the controller CU with the ratio calculator PCU and the surge limit regulator ASC.
- the diagram shown there refers to the interconnection according to the FIG. 2.
- a first module IZHGV calculates the resulting first temperature THl of the isenthalpic state change in the first bypass valve BV1.
- a second module IZPGV of the ratio calculator calculates from the fourth temperature TT4, as a result of the second pressure measurement PT2 and the result of the first pressure measurement PT1, a second temperature TP as a result of the relaxation of the second bypass flow as a consequence of an isenthalpic state change in the second bypass valve BV2.
- the proportion a is multiplied by the signal X of the surge limit controller ASC for the position of the second bypass valve BV2.
- the difference of the proportion a to 1 is multiplied by the signal X of the surge limit regulator ASC and used as a setpoint for the opening of the first bypass valve BVl.
