Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for Operating turbomachines to avoid Controller instabilities with high proportional gain of the Regulator with the features of the preamble of claims 1 and 7.
  • a surge limit controller which has a nonlinear amplifier.
  • This non-linear The amplifier increases the control loop gain when the Blow-off valves by more than 2% by a factor of 5. Since the Pump limit controllers only work optimally if they are in the Normal operation operated with the maximum permissible gain , this gain increase by 5 means that the controller works unstably with this high gain.
  • EP-A-0 336 092 describes a method for protecting a Turbocompressor before pumping by blowing over a Blow-off valve known.
  • the blow-off valve is increased Adjustment speed in the opening direction and at a slower rate Adjustment speed adjusted in the closing direction.
  • Parallel the surge limit control is intervening in an emergency Safety control operated.
  • EP-A-0 477 055 describes a device or a method to protect a compressor against unstable operation under Use of a surge limit controller and one Pump limit control valve described.
  • the known device assigns an electrovalve to the surge limit control valve Drain the servo motor of the surge limit control valve and one
  • Ramp generator on in a parallel control loop is arranged.
  • This control device is in Direction of opening of the relief valve no time limit effective, but there is a time limit in the closing direction the closing process of the relief valve provided.
  • the Opening and closing movements are done by the electro valve and made the ramp generator. It does that Solenoid valve the quick opening of the relief valve during the time-limited closings over that in the parallel Control loop arranged ramp generator takes place.
  • a negative sign The control difference e therefore means that the working point the compressor is in the safe working area while a positive sign of the system deviation e means that the Operating point the blow-off line to the left, d. H. towards has exceeded the surge limit. If the exceeds Working point the surge limit, there is a pumping of the Compressor. Make these rule differences inadmissible the controller is switched to follow-up mode and its exit to the current relief valve position switched. This ensures that the manipulated variable of Pump limit controller is not significantly different from the position of the Valve deviates.
  • the stability behavior of the surge limit control loops according to the invention have a positive influence in that an electronic limitation of the closing speed of the relief valve is made. Consequently can have surge limiters with significantly higher Proportional gain can be operated stably.
  • This Gradient limiter is asymmetrical, i. H. there is none in the opening direction of the relief valve time limit is effective, in the closing direction however, a freely parameterizable time limit the closing process of the relief valve provided or programmed.
  • a surge limit control with such a gradient limitation is largely independent from very high controller gains.
  • a very high one selected controller gain inevitably leads to the fact that the controller circuit becomes unstable. Without this limitation would the controller output and thus the valve position swing. With this limitation in the controller output would however, this vibration affects the first half wave restrict, d. that is, the gain would be too high the relief valve further than an optimally set one Open the controller, the subsequent quick closing process would go away, however, and the valve would only with the set gradient, d. H. slowly, conclude.
  • the main advantage of the invention is that significantly larger proportional gains can be selected are. As a result, the surge limit controller intervenes at one Process disruption significantly more powerful and protects the Compressor much better before pumps.
  • the manipulated variable limiter is a function block imagine its output in the stationary Operating case is always the same as its entrance. This applies also for dynamic processes in the direction of valve opening. Control commands in the closing direction are also unaffected switched through from input to output, as long as the gradient for the manipulated variable change is less than the set limit. He follows this change of input with a steeper Gradient, the output size changes with the as Gradients set until the Gradient of the input is smaller than the set one Border.
  • the Gradient switchable this will required if at a greater distance from the Working point from the surge limit a faster Closing speed is allowed and close the surge limit to a slower speed is switched. This happens when the Working point, for example, more than 20% away from the blow-off line, then the valve can be used a positioning time of z. B. 20 seconds or even Close for 1 second for the entire stroke; approaches however, the working point is closer to the blow-off line and falls below the 20% limit, then for example to a positioning time of 5 minutes for the entire Hub switched.
  • the invention is based on schematic Exemplary embodiments explained in more detail.

  • the pressure gauge (32) is a function generator (33) downstream, based on saved Data associated with a particular print, just permissible minimum flow value outputs for the compressor (1).
  • the one from the flow meter (31) Actually measured actual flow value and that of Function transmitter (32) output flow setpoint are fed to a subtractor (34), in which the difference from this by subtracting the actual value is formed from the setpoint.
  • the control parameter generated in the subtractor (34) is given to a surge limit controller (41), the Subtractor (34) is connected downstream.
  • the surge limit controller (41) ensures a continuous Regulation, d. H. an exact adjustment of the Blow-off valve (2) depending on the position of the Working point in the map.
  • the output works for this the surge limit controller (41) over a gradient limiter (50) and via a control line (22) to the Actuating device (21) of the relief valve (2).

  • the power for Adjustment movement of the relief valve (2) in the opening direction is generally used for security reasons an energy storage element, e.g. B. a tense Spring generated to in the event of failure of the scheme automatic opening of the relief valve (2) ensure.
  • the output of the control line (22) acts on a pneumatic one or hydraulic actuating device (21).
