And the result of subtraction becomes equal to the time point of " 0 " and is arranged to the second Anti-surge Control by the time point being activated.
Specifically, for example, when as shown in Figure 3 wait temperature pressure head value HisothermalWhen reaching point D from point C, control device
195 can determine that current point in time be the second Anti-surge Control by the time point being activated, and by using open surge control valve
170 method performing the second Anti-surge Control, so as to prevent in high stage compressor 120, third level compressor 130 and the 4th
There is surge in level compressor 140.Here, when surge control valve 170 is opened, the flow velocity of fluid increases in these compressors
And pressure reduces, so as to prevent in high stage compressor 120, third level compressor 130 and fourth stage compressor 140
Surge.
