- Ability to provide Therefore, it is possible to save the excessive power consumed for the cooling operation of the liquefied gas and perform the cooling operation without waste.
- the capacity of the refrigeration module or the compression module can be adjusted by an inverter, and the capacity of the respective modules can be increased or decreased.
- the efficiency is adjusted by comparing the efficiency in the case of adjusting and the efficiency in the case of adjusting the capacity by increasing or decreasing the compressor rotation speed.
- the efficiency range when the capacity range of the refrigeration module or the compression module is adjusted by the inverter and the number of operating modules of each module is reduced, and the efficiency when the capacity is reduced by decreasing the compressor rotational speed It is possible to compare and operate with the ability adjusted at higher efficiency. For example, if the efficiency of reducing the number of operating units is high, the power consumed for the cooling operation can be maximally saved by performing control to reduce the number of operating units of each module. In particular, it is desirable to calculate the efficiency for each estimated operating condition, since the refrigeration equipment that exchanges heat with the liquefied gas whose temperature changes significantly due to sensible heat changes greatly depending on the temperature range depending on the temperature range used. This makes it possible to maximally reduce the excess power consumed for the cooling operation.
- a compressor is used when selecting either increase or decrease in the number of operating refrigeration units or compression modules or increase or decrease in compressor rotational speed.
- the maintenance cost per operating time of the compressor obtained by dividing the regular maintenance cost of the above by the maintenance interval is added to the power cost and compared and judged.
- the present invention when selecting either increase or decrease in the number of operating modules or increase or decrease in compressor rotational speed, maintenance cost per operating time of the compressor is added to the electric power cost and compared and determined.
- efficient cooling operation can be performed in consideration of power consumption and maintenance costs.
- a refrigeration system that exchanges heat with liquefied gas that changes its temperature significantly due to sensible heat changes the load on the compressor depending on the temperature zone used, so the maintenance cost coefficient and maintenance interval of the compressor indicate the temperature used It is desirable to make it variable according to the area.
- the refrigeration module or the compression module is optimized and operated with the module under maintenance excluded.
- the number of modules to be operated and the modules to be operated are determined such that the maximum number of maintainable units determined from the resources of the spare and maintenance personnel simultaneously reaches the maintenance time.
- maintenance of each compressor is controlled by controlling the number of operating units and operating modules so that the maximum number of maintainable units determined from the capacity margin and the resources of maintenance personnel simultaneously reach maintenance time.

(2)圧縮機4を停止状態とした後、手動又は自動で吸入流路9Aおよび吐出流路9Bに設けられているメンテナンス用の開閉弁25,26を閉成し、冷凍サイクル10を遮断して圧縮機4を冷凍サイクル10から切り離した状態とするとともに、継電器24をオフとし、圧縮機4の電力部分を不活線状態とする。
(4)その後、圧縮機4における軸受等の消耗部品を交換する等、必要なメンテナンスを実施する。
(5)メンテナンスが終了したら、真空ポンプを用いて圧縮機4内の空気を真空引きして排気した後、冷媒充填機により必要量の冷媒を補充する。
(6)冷媒の補充が終了したら、吸入流路9Aおよび吐出流路9Bのメンテナンス用開閉弁25,26を開くことにより、メンテナンス作業を完了させ、圧縮機4および冷凍装置3を運転可能状態とする。
または、上記開閉弁25,26に取り付けたオン・オフスイッチからの信号に基づいて動作するリレー回路を介して継電器24をオン・オフするデジタル信号回路方式としてもよい。
あるいは、これらの両方を採用することで二重系とし、信頼性を高めるようにしてもよい。

まず、各モジュールの圧縮機4の電動モータ15に対して、電源からの電力が系統連系コンバータ21およびインバータ23を介して給電可能とされるとともに、各々の給電回路22に対して継電器24が設けられている。このため、圧縮機4に対する定期的なメンテナンス時、各圧縮機4への給電回路に設けられている継電器24によって当該圧縮機4への電路を遮断し、メンテナンスを行うことができる。
従って、メンテナンスのために停止された圧縮機4の電力部分を不活線状態としてメンテナンスでき、作業者の安全性を確保することができる。
このため、圧縮機4に対する定期的なメンテナンス時間(運転時間)が経過することによって圧縮機4が人為的または自動的に停止状態とされ、その吸入側および吐出側に設けられているメンテナンス用開閉弁25,26が閉成されると、その動作に応動して継電器24がオフとなり、当該圧縮機4への電路を遮断することができる。
これによって、圧縮機4をメンテナンスする際、その電力部分を確実に不活線状態とし、メンテナンス作業者に対する安全性をより確実に確保することができる。
これにより、圧縮機4への電路を遮断し、電力部分を不活線化して当該圧縮機4をメンテナンス可能な状態とすることができる。従って、圧縮機4の定期的なメンテナンスとそのメンテナンスに至る過程を確実にコントロールし、作業者の安全を確保することができる。
このため、液化ガスの流量増減と流入温度の変化に応じて冷凍モジュールA1,B1,C1又は圧縮モジュールA2,B2,C2の運転台数を増減して運転することにより、液化ガスの冷却に必要な冷熱量として過不足のない能力を供することができる。これによって、液化ガスの冷却運転に費やされる過剰な電力をセーブし、無駄のない冷却運転を行うことができる。
このため、冷凍モジュールA1,B1,C1又は圧縮モジュールA2,B2,C2の能力範囲をインバータ23により調整し、各モジュールの運転台数を減じた場合の効率と、圧縮機回転数を下げて能力を低下させた場合の効率とを比較し、効率の高い方で能力を調整して運転することができる。
特に、顕熱変化で大きく温度が変化する液化ガスと熱交換される冷凍装置3は、使われる温度帯によって回転数に対する能力特性が大きく異なるため、効率は推定運転条件ごとに算出するのが望ましく、これによって、冷却運転に費やされる過剰な電力を最大限削減することが可能となる。
これにより、各モジュールの運転台数の増減と、圧縮機回転数の増減のいずれかを選択する際、圧縮機4の運転時間当たりのメンテナンスコストを電力コストに上乗せして比較判断し選択することができる。
このため、能力余裕やメンテナンス要員のリソースから決定されるメンテナンス可能な最大台数が同時にメンテナンス時期を迎えるように、運転台数および運転するモジュールをコントロールすることによって、各圧縮機のメンテナンスをシステムの運転を停止せずに、かつメンテナンス手待ちやメンテナンス要因を増員することなく遂行することができる。
また、上記したいずれの実施形態においても、圧縮機4の電動モータ15に対して系統連系コンバータ21およびインバータ23を介して給電する給電回路22を備えた例について説明したが、給電回路22は、系統連系コンバータ21およびインバータ23を備えていないものであってもよく、この場合、その電動モータ15への給電回路22に継電器24を設け、メンテナンス時にその継電器24で電路を遮断し、電力部分を不活線化状態とすればよい。
