Fig. 4 shows the temperature T into the water of condenser1CONDRelative to the chart of capacity.Line 200 represents U.S.'s refrigeration The loaded line (or load line) of meeting (ARI).In the U.S., freezer unit will obey ARI standards 550.The standard recognizes four and refers to bar Part, percentage and associated Water in Condenser that this four reference conditions pass through freezer unit rated load (being represented to cool down tonnage) Entrance/entrance temperature characterize.The operation of progress will realize the outlet of chilled water/leave temperature for 44F (6.67C).Four Condition is:100%, 85F (29.44C);75%, 75F (23.89C), 50%, 65F (18.33C);(it is also with 25%, 65F 18.33C).These conditions (or along the condition of similarity for connecting their curve) can provide the correlation for measurement efficiency Condition.In API experiments, the flow by the water of cooler is that 2.4 gallons per minutes often cool down (0.043 liter of ton (gpm/ton) (l/s/kW) per second every kilowatt, and the flow of the water of condenser is 3gpm/ton (0.054l/s/kW).
Using typical heat exchanger, it is that substantially 8F (4.4C) multiplies percent load to be risen by the temperature of the water of condenser, Or 8F during 100% load, 6F (3.3C) during 75% load, 4F (2.2C) and 2F (1.1C) during 25% load during 50% load. The low 1F of temperature (0.6C) or 2F (1.1C) (for example, 43F in ARI experiments) of chilled water of the cooler saturation temperature than leaving. Similarly, the temperature and water temperature of water of the condenser saturation temperature than entering condenser rise sum high 1F or 2F.For 85F's Into for the temperature of the water of condenser, temperature rise is 8F, therefore it is 93F to leave the temperature of the water of condenser, and condenser is full It is 93+2=95F with temperature.
Line 202 represents 85F (29.44C) constant temperature.Tropical climate area, environment temperature from daytime to night almost without Change.In such kind of area, the temperature of the water of condenser keeps constant.Industrial standard is that the temperature thought into the water of condenser exists 85F is constant between 25% and 100% load.Table 1 shows the temperature difference on ARI situations and corresponding tropical situation.It is Celsius Temperature is converted from listed Fahrenheit temperature value, therefore does not increase and provide the precision of falseness.Other states in bracket The analogously represented transformation result come from the original U.S. or Britain's value of the border system of unit (SI).
Table I
In the first exemplary implementation, at least partly first mode in parallel is used for top load situation, and second mode is (only Positive displacement compressor) it is used for low load situation.For example, second mode can be used for be basically zero load to centre carry Charge values.Between intermediate cycling load value and maximum load, at least partly pattern in parallel is used.It is noted, however, that when fortune When row is near conversion condition, intermediate cycling load value can be subjected to suitable Delay control to avoid excessive circulation.For example, from zero To conversion condition, the second compressor can be run with increased speed and/or power.In conversion, the first compressor can be with It is directed to online with full capacity or close to full capacity, and the second compressor reset-to-zero or other low capacity values.Hereafter, with Increased load, the speed and/or power of the second compressor can increase.Therefore, in pattern at least partly in parallel, system Load/volume change adapted to mainly by positive displacement compressor.For example, at least positive displacement compressor can be than centrifugal Compressor realizes more changes.More properly, positive displacement compressor can realize load change at least 75% or at least 90%.Exemplarily, load change can at least represent the 30% of the peak load of system, more properly, be at least 40%.
In the first simple illustrative embodiments, the rated capacity of two compressors is substantially the same (for example, identical Or it is appropriate be differently sized, to solve any lag issues).Therefore, change point is at substantially half load.
It is wider broadly, change point can be between the 45% and 55% of total rating system load, or in 40% He Between 60%.
Centrifugal compressor is used by (or wider broadly, not in low load) near the rated load only possessed at it or its Machine, surge problems can be largely avoided by.
For example, the exemplary peaking capacity of positive displacement compressor is the 50 of the peaking capacity of centrifugal compressor ~200%, more properly, 100% to 150%.
In one deforms, the 4th (series connection) pattern can be added and use in high condenser water temperature, and for example water adds Heat or heat recovery mode.
In an alternative variation, (for example, less than 25F (13.9C)), centrifugal compressor when needing the low-down temperature difference It can be used alone.
In the second more complicated illustrative embodiments, by measuring or determining 302 condensers otherwise Saturation temperature (TCOND) and cooler saturation temperature (TCOOL) start control process 300 (Fig. 5).TCONDAnd TCOOLCan be with Determined separately by following, i.e.,:Pressure is measured by pressure sensor 132 and 182, saturation temperature is then calculated and (passes through Look-up table or the function of programming).The temperature difference (lift) is calculated as TCONDSubtract TCOOL, 304.If the temperature difference is more than given threshold value (for example, 50F (28C)), then the system can be with the 4th (series connection) mode operation, 306.In the series model, centrifugal pressure The capacity of contracting machine is controlled by the orientation of compressor speed and entrance guide card.If the gas flow discharged from centrifugal compressor Higher than the capacity of screw compressor, then the pressure between centrifugal compressor and screw compressor will be raised, and be caused centrifugal The surge of compressor.Now, the speed of centrifugal compressor is incrementally increased and its guide card is gradually closed up, until centrifugation The no longer surge of formula compressor.Similar logic is applied to screw compressor (that is, the First Speed followed by guiding valve).Slow down total It is that result in reduced power consumption or increased efficiency.
For the less temperature difference, non-series operation can be performed.To flow FMCOOLAnd temperature T1COOLAnd T2COOLSurveyed Amount, 308.Capacity can also be calculated, and 310.
Then, at low capacity (for example, first value less than for example the maximum amount of 50%), operation is changed based on pressure head Enter.For low-head, these compressors can be run with equal loads and in the first pattern, and 320.This can include:When When there is speed change driver, by speed come control capability;And for the situation of fixed speed, pass through centrifugal compressor The guiding valve of entrance guide card and screw compressor carrys out control capability.Pressure head is proportional to temperature-difference.In this example, low-head correspondence In the temperature-difference less than 35F (19C), high-head is then between 35F and 50F (19C and 28C).
For high-head, (only screw compressor) is run system in a second mode, and 322.When there is speed change driver When, by speed come control capability;When fixed speed, then by guiding valve come control capability.
In the case of interim capacities (for example, 50~75%), it can also be run in the first pattern.In these pressures Balance between contracting machine can be modified based on pressure head.For low-head, system is run with paralleling model, wherein spiral pressure Contracting machine is run with fixed capacity, and centrifugal compressor is run with variable capacity, to provide the total capacity of needs.For example, In the case of the centrifugal compressor and screw compressor with equal maximum capacity, screw compressor can be maximum with it The 50% of capacity is run, and centrifugal compressor operate in its maximum capacity 50 and 100% between (thus carry out group Close, exemplarily to provide 50~75% operation of maximum system capacity).Selection is such to be run, to avoid centrifugation The surge of formula compressor.
In the case of high-head, system can be in substantially fixed capacity and spiral with wherein centrifugal compressor Compressor provides the first mode of volume controlled to run, and 332.The exemplary set point of constant volume compressor can be relative to Situation 330 and it is different.Centrifugal compressor can be run with higher capacity.In the examples described above, centrifugal compressor Machine can be run with the 80% of its maximum capacity, thus provide the 40% of total power system capacity.Screw compressor can be run Between the 20% of its maximum capacity and 70% (thus provide maximum system capacity 10~35%, and with centrifugal pressure Contracting machine combination so as to provide maximum system capacity 50~75%).This running situation can be selected, because centrifugal pressure Contracting machine low load and it is high-head in the case of be subjected to surge.
In the case of high power capacity (such as 75~100%), can also run in the first pattern, wherein these compressors with Equal load operation, 340.Therefore, depending on required capacity, the maximum capacity that each compressor can possess at it Run between 75% and 100%, to meet the capacity of needs.
One or more embodiments have been described.Nevertheless, but it is understood that, various modifications can be carried out. For example, in the case where rebuilding existing system, the details of existing system or its predetermined use may influence any particular implementation The details of mode.Therefore, in other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims.
