Description

Pump, the method and the pumping plant that comprises this pump of operating this pump
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to the pump field, more particularly, the present invention relates to comprise the pump of variable ratio frequency changer drive unit.In addition, the invention still further relates to a kind of method of operating this pump.Background of invention and prior art
The pump that comprises the variable ratio frequency changer drive unit, for example sewage pump, drainage pump and dehydration pump and submersible pump normally are used at application examples such as mine, the oil well of digging up mine, and in the building site, perhaps aspirate fluid in other are used.Usually, when submersible pump is worked and when disconnecting, all soaked in water in whole or in part at long time durations.
It is so-called snoring operation that pump generally can run into the problem that submersible pump particularly can run into, and the meaning is that the part that pump is drawn is that a liquid part is an air.This is because liquid level has dropped to below the needed horizontal plane of pump, causes pump to begin to draw the part air.From this time, pump no longer includes throughput, and consumed energy redundantly.Ponding is retained in mine or the oil well, and particle begins to precipitate and be accumulated in the water pipe of pump.As long as pump is in this snoring state, those particles will remain in the water pipe and cause the additional wear of impeller, suction cover, sealing gasket etc.The pump of this poor efficiency is inhaled and is caused the overall work cost of this pump significantly to increase.In addition, this snoring operation also can cause this pump motor because overheated and impaired.In some applications, in order to overcome this snoring problem, use sensor for example liquid level switch comes the interior fluid level of detecting shaft.Yet, these liquid level sensors for example can owing to fluid in object for example branch bump against and hindered or level change takes place, thereby send an error signal in this case.
The US 6481973 that authorizes Struthers discloses a kind of pumping system of the part at the problems referred to above.Even this pumping system comprises the variable ratio frequency changer drive unit, whether it has utilized another kind of controlling method to detect liquid level and has dropped to below the predeterminated level, thereby as replenishing for the liquid level switch.More accurately, this pumping system detects whether the unexpected increase of electromotor velocity or reducing suddenly of motor torque takes place.The operation of described motor is by a sensor monitoring, and this sensor is connected to the AC output connection that extends to motor from this variable ratio frequency changer drive unit.Yet this pumping system has many shortcomings.Under the slower situation of electromotor velocity increase, this system can not be identified as this variation the indication of pump dry running.In another case, whether the liquid level that this pumping system can not detect when pump startup is enough high pump operated to carry out, because can not have the unexpected increase of electromotor velocity or reducing suddenly of motor torque in this state.Thereby this pump will move considerable time and cut off the power supply owing to overheated up to it, and also there is the risk that is badly damaged in this pump.
In many application, in for example above-mentioned application, pump is worked in a dynamic environment, thus pump should be in a bigger drop/pressure range efficient operation.The drop of pump (head) uses given power corresponding to the height of pump, and the liquid that can promote specified rate is water for example, referring to Fig. 3, wherein represents a typical pump curve with line 30.When low mobile (Q), the availability of pump power can reduce.Thereby pump can have higher (increase) pump power availability, and to have lower flowing simultaneously will be an advantage.
Another recurrent problem is that intake grill and/or impeller stop up, particularly when pump is in off-position in a cycle for a long time, this mainly is because the particle in the fluid causes, this particle deposition is in intake grill and impeller and form the mud with relative thicker or tight stickiness.So just correspondingly making needs bigger pump motor starting torque so that the rotation of priming pump impeller.Usually need maximum starting torque starting this rotation, and motor must a long time in the cycle with peak torque work.This has just consumed lot of energy and worn and torn pump impeller and motor.When pump has been in off-position for a long time the time,, must manually clean pump in this case even maximum starting torque is also not enough.In addition, pump also can for example be drawn into the particle obstruction in the impeller between on-stream period.Thereby the reliability of the pump of working in this environment is lower.
Above-mentioned basis is authorized the pumping system of US 6481973 of Struthers also at this problem.Yet, even this method fault ground is devoted to judging that pump still keeps motor rotation when blocked.More accurately, if for given motor speed, detected a unacceptable high motor torque, this pumping system will reduce motor speed, increase the level that can accept motor torque simultaneously.Its objective is to obtain a kind of stronger pump that can overcome the intensity of solid matter, but the stronger pump with severe pollutant will cause the destruction for impeller, impeller base, impeller housing etc.
Another known problem that comprises the pump of conventional variable ratio frequency changer drive unit is that this variable ratio frequency changer drive unit is installed in the dry place away from the ground of pump usually.More accurately, this just needs one to extend to the long power cable of pump motor from the variable ratio frequency changer drive unit, and this can cause the serious problems of electromagnetic interference for the variable ratio frequency changer drive unit of routine.In the above-mentioned US 6481973 that authorizes Struthers, this variable ratio frequency changer drive unit is installed in the pump case, is more accurately be connected on the plate of electrode.Yet in this case, the work of variable ratio frequency changer drive unit can be subjected to the adverse effect of the heat that motor sends, and it can cause the faulty operation of variable ratio frequency changer drive unit.
Therefore need a kind of improved pump and control the improved controlling method of this pump with respect to energy consumption and pump serviceability with efficient way.

Certainly, control apparatus 11 has a plurality of designs that can expect, and for example this control apparatus can be realized by processor, comprises the programmable instructions that is used to carry out the method according to this invention in this processor.According to another embodiment, this control apparatus is to implement with the form of data mediums such as microchip, comprising the software of described function above being suitable for carrying out and hereinafter.In addition, alternate embodiment of the present invention has been shown in Fig. 7-9.Use identical reference number to come similar parts and/or equipment among presentation graphs 1,2 and the 7-9.In Fig. 7, control apparatus 11 is sealed in the hermetically sealed enclosure, and is set on the outer surface of pump casing.Control apparatus 11 can adhere in many ways or be fixed on this shell.For example, equipment 11 can pass through screw.In Fig. 8, control apparatus 11 is to have adopted the form that is suitable for being inserted in the bound cell in the control apparatus receiving element 15.In Fig. 9, control apparatus 11 is set on the control panel 22.
Referring now to Fig. 4, will the General Principle of the method that is used for operating pumps according to a first aspect of the invention be described.Handled snoring operational issue or dry running operational issue according to a first aspect of the invention, as mentioned above its cause the pump parts for example the wearing and tearing of impeller and sealing gasket increase, can cause pump motor overheated and cause unnecessary energy consumption.In addition, pump motor is designed to provide optimal performance when they aspirate and work in liquid, thereby the dry running that prolongs operation can destroy pump motor.Therefore, a first aspect of the present invention provides the mode of the pump 1 that a kind of efficient operation comprises VFD unit 2, as any is described with respect to energy consumption, pump life-span and serviceability among reference Fig. 1-2 and the 7-9.
At first, in step 40, the operation of initialization pump, promptly priming pump 1.In step 42 and 44, judge whether to conform to a predetermined condition then.For example, in step 42, pump in a predetermined period of time with first velocity level work, and in a predetermined period of time with the second speed horizontal operation.Preferably, described first velocity level and described second speed level are the low speed levels.For each velocity level, determine the power of motor 9, then in step 44, use these two velocity levels and verify by each power that obtains wherein whether the speed of motor 9 and the relation between the power of motor are approximately cubic function (if the cube of this power of motor and motor speed is proportional).If this relation is a cubic function, this pump 1 can turn round in normal running so, if this relation is not three relations, so just represents pump 1 suction air, and judges that liquid level is too low, and pump can not be with velocity level's operation of expection.This judgement is for example carried out in the treatment device 12 in control apparatus 11.Should be pointed out that the relation between this velocity level and the gained power must not be a cube, for other fluid mixtures liquids and gases for example, other indexes also are fit to.
In step 44, if judge that liquid level is not enough, this algorithm proceeds to step 46, and here, control apparatus 11 sends the work of instruction with stop/pause pump in a predetermined period of time to VFD unit 2, and for example perhaps a few minutes are about 2 minutes.When this time cycle finished, this algorithm returned step 42.
On the other hand, if judge that in step 44 liquid level is enough, this algorithm proceeds to step 48, and the speed with pump 1 is increased to goal pace here.Thereby pump can be with normal mode work now.
For fear of snoring operation, verify pump 1 suction air not during operation basically continuously.Therefore, in step 50, by judging whether that meeting second predetermined condition checks liquid level whether still enough, i.e. pump 1 part or mainly draw air or pumping liquid whether.This is to carry out on continuous substantially basis.In order to carry out this check, by the suitable operating parameter values of sensing device 16 acquisitions of VFD unit 2, this value is transferred to control apparatus 11.For example, can directly use DC link voltage, DC link current etc., perhaps can use it to determine the torque of motor 9 for example or the power of motor 9 preferably.Motor 9 power during operation descends suddenly and represents pump 1 suction air rather than liquid.
For example, second condition is the power of for example motor 9 and is stored in comparison between the predetermined reference level in the storage device 13, if the power of this motor is lower than this predetermined reference level, just judge that liquid level is too low.Preferably, this predeterminated level can be used for motor 9 present speeds the motor peak output about 70%.Alternatively, can be termly between step 48 and step 50, carry out and the comparable step of step 42, current to judge liquid whether in the ingress of pump 1.
If judge enough at the liquid level at pump intake place, promptly the power of motor 9 is higher than this predeterminated level, and algorithm returns step 48 so.On the other hand, if judgement is too low at the liquid level at pump intake place, promptly the power of this motor is lower than this predeterminated level, and so instead, algorithm proceeds to step 52, stops the work of this pump.Then, algorithm proceeds to step 46, continues to stop the work of pump in the cycle at a preset time.After this pause period finished, algorithm proceeded to step 42.
Referring now to Fig. 5, with the General Principle of description according to the method for the operating pumps of second aspect present invention.The second aspect of the method according to this invention has solved in the problem that on the bigger flow range pump power is maintained on the substantially invariable level.Shown in the line among Fig. 3 32, can make pump drop/pressure increase by 20% to 30% by the method according to this invention.With respect to the pump drop that changes this pump power is maintained substantially invariable level by regulating motor speed.Because the work of pump when low flowing is more efficient, can use littler pump to aspirate the liquid of specified rate, and can reduce the wearing and tearing of pump.Pump of the present invention is one and is designed to have the blanket pump that changes the many different application that require.For the pump drop of given pump and variation, can obtain higher pump performance by regulating motor speed.Thereby it is a kind of with respect to energy consumption and serviceability and operation efficiently as with reference to the mode of the pump of any the described VFD of comprising unit 2 among Fig. 1-2 and the 7-9 that a second aspect of the present invention provides.
At first, in step 60, the operation of initialization pump, promptly priming pump 1.Then in step 62, level running pump at a predetermined velocity.Substantially continuously the value that obtains corresponding to this running parameter of the running parameter of monitors pump and the sensing device by VFD unit 2 16 is transferred to control apparatus 11 with this value.For example, can directly use DC link voltage, DC link current etc., perhaps can use it to determine the torque of motor 9 for example or the power of motor 9 preferably.In step 64, in control apparatus 11, with the power of for example motor 9 and be stored in the storage device 13 of treatment device 12 for example predetermined reference level for example the rated power of motor 9 compare.If in step 64, the power of this motor is lower than this predetermined reference level, and algorithm returns step 62, and the work of pump is remained on described predetermined velocity level.On the other hand, be lower than this predeterminated level if judge the power of motor level, algorithm proceeds to step 66, wherein calculates the required speed of motor predetermined power level that arrives in treatment device 12.
Then, in step 68, the speed and the default top speed of this calculating are thought comparison.Be higher than this default top speed if find the speed of this calculating, algorithm proceeds to step 70, thus at this moment control apparatus 11 to VFD unit 2 transfer instructions with this default top speed operated motor 9, and algorithm returns step 64.Be lower than default top speed if find the speed of this calculating, then algorithm proceeds to step 72, thereby control apparatus 11 is to the speed operated motor 9 of VFD unit 2 transfer instructions with this calculating.Then, algorithm proceeds to this process of step 64 continuation.By power of motor being remained on substantially invariable level, increase drop/pressure in the time of can being shown in low flowing as the line among Fig. 3 32.
Forward Fig. 6 now to, with the General Principle of description according to the method for the operating pumps of third aspect present invention.The third aspect of the method according to this invention has solved the intake grill of pump 1 and/or impeller blocks or blocking problem, this be owing to the particle deposition in this fluid in intake grill and impeller and formed mud and cause with relative thickness or solid denseness.Therefore, need pump motor to have of the rotation of bigger starting torque with the primer pump impeller.This has just consumed lot of energy, and pump impeller and motor are caused wearing and tearing.When pump is in the off-position longer cycle, even maximum starting torque is not enough yet, in this case, need artificial wash pump, therefore the priming of pump reliability of working in this environment is lower.Therefore, a third aspect of the present invention provides a kind of mode of the pump of arbitrary described VFD of comprising unit 2 with respect to energy consumption, serviceability and starting reliability and among efficient operation such as reference Fig. 1-2 and the 7-9.
At first, in step 80, the operation of initialization pump, promptly priming pump 1.Then in step 82, level running pump at a predetermined velocity.Then, in step 84, whether the check pump blocks/stops up.This can be the example of carrying out with following dual mode.A kind of mode is for example to measure the running parameter of pump and it is compared with for example predetermined reference level, for example determine motor 9 power and with its with the predetermined reference level of the power of motor 9 for example the rated power of motor 9 compare.If the power of motor of this measurement is higher than this predetermined reference level, it is exactly the indication of an obstruction/blocked state so.The second way is the alarm function that monitors variable ratio frequency changer drive unit 2, and will indicate the indication of the alarm of DC link overcurrent as obstruction/blocked state.
If in step 84, judge that pump 1 does not block, this algorithm returns step 82, wherein the work of holding pump 1.On the other hand, get clogged if judge pump 1, then algorithm proceeds to step 86, at this moment control apparatus 11 to VFD unit 2 transfer instructions in case in a predetermined period of time with first velocity reversal's drives impeller.After this predetermined period of time, stop pump 1, and then turn round with the forward direction sense of rotation.Preferably, this circulation continues about 1-10 second.Then, in step 88, check this blocked state whether to eliminate, as above-mentioned performed in step 84.If no, then this process is returned step 86.Repeat this circulation up to eliminating this blocked state.If eliminated this blocked state, algorithm returns step 82 so.
In order to prevent that pump 1 from blocking in normal work period, can regularly carry out following process:, the described cycle after, stop pump 1 and on its normal sense of rotation, turn round pump 1 having in the time cycle of predetermined length antiport pump 1 at a predetermined velocity.Thereby can further improve the functional reliability of pump.
Referring now to Fig. 3.The flow of fluid that reference number 30 and 32 timberlines are particular pump 1 and the example of drop ratio, this pump 1 is provided 3 phase voltages with 60Hz frequency from VFD unit 2.60Hz is some national standard mains frequency, but also can correspondingly increase this level by VFD unit 2, for example reach 150Hz, make described line 30,32 plotted curve of slip chart 3 upwards more or lessly and the application and the condition that a particular pump can be used for changing very much like this.
