Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating a compressor (CO) comprising the installed measurements: a) suction pressure measurement (PA), b) final pressure measurement (PE), c) throughput measurement (ΔΡ), wherein by means of a first control characteristic map (CTFE) a target value for a pump surge limiter (PCTR) is determined from one or two of the measured variables, and the pump surge limiter compares the target value to the third measured variable, wherein the pump surge limiter (PCTR) opens a bypass valve (BV) when the measured value falls below or exceeds the target value (TV), such that the final pressure (PE) is lowered or the flow through the compressor is increased. For the purpose of high operational reliability, according to the invention in the event of failure of at least one of the measurements, a further measurement of another physical variable of the compression process, together with a measured variable of the remaining measurements or a modification of said measured variable on the basis of an additional characteristic field, is an input variable for a substitute control characteristic map (SCTFE), from which a maximum value or a minimum value of the disrupted measured variable is determined and is used to form the target value in the first control characteristic map (CTFE), or as a substitute target value (TV) is itself an input variable for the pump surge limiter (PCTR).

Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Verdichters Method for operating a compressor
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines The invention relates to a method for operating a
Verdichters mit den installierten Messungen: Compressor with the installed measurements:
a) Saugdruckmessung, b) Enddruckmessung, c) Durchsatzmessung, wobei in einem Normalbetrieb, während dessen die Messungen fehlerfrei ablaufen, mittels eines ersten Regelungskennfeldes aus zweien der gemessenen Größen ein Sollwert für einen a) Suction pressure measurement, b) final pressure measurement, c) throughput measurement, wherein in a normal operation, during which the measurements run without errors, by means of a first control map of two of the measured quantities, a desired value for a
Pumpgrenzregler ermittelt wird, welcher diesen Sollwert mit der dritten Messgröße direkt oder indirekt vergleicht, wobei der Pumpgrenzregler bei einem Unterschreiten oder einem Pump limit is determined, which compares this setpoint with the third measured variable directly or indirectly, the surge limit controller in case of falling below or
Überschreiten des dritten Messwertes oder einer Anwandlung des dritten Messwertes im Vergleich mit dem Sollwert ein Bypassventil öffnet, so dass der Enddruck abgesenkt wird. Exceeding the third measured value or an application of the third measured value in comparison with the setpoint opens a bypass valve, so that the final pressure is lowered.
Bei dem Betrieb eines Verdichters ist darauf zu achten, dass das Verhältnis von Enddruck zu dem Eingangsdruck nicht so hoch wird, dass der Durchsatz durch den Verdichter eine gewisse Mindestmenge unterschreitet. Diese untere Schranke definiert sich im Wesentlichen durch stark ansteigende When operating a compressor, care must be taken to ensure that the ratio of the discharge pressure to the inlet pressure does not become so high that the throughput through the compressor falls below a certain minimum level. This lower bound is essentially defined by steeply rising
Vibrationen der Maschine, die unter anderem durch sogenannte Pumpstöße verursacht werden. Die Fachwelt bezeichnet die Grenze zwischen den regulären Betrieb und diesem sogenannten Pumpen als die Pumpgrenze. Diese Pumpgrenze hängt im Vibrations of the machine caused, inter alia, by so-called pump surges. The experts call the boundary between the regular operation and this so-called pumping as the surge limit. This pumping limit depends on
Wesentlichen von dem Verhältnis zwischen Eingangsdruck und Enddruck ab. Zur Pumpgrenzregelung von Turboverdichtern werden Algorithmen verwendet, die auf Grundlage mehrerer Messwerte laufend den Abstand zur Pumpgrenze ermitteln. Wird dieser zu gering, so öffnet der Regler ein Bypassventil und stellt so einen Mindestabstand zur Pumpgrenze sicher, in dem der Enddruck abgesenkt wird und dementsprechend der Essentially from the relationship between inlet pressure and final pressure. For the surge limit control of turbocompressors algorithms are used, which continuously determine the distance to the surge limit on the basis of several measured values. If this is too low, the controller opens a bypass valve and thus ensures a minimum distance to the pumping limit, in which the final pressure is lowered and, accordingly, the
erforderliche Durchsatz, Massenstrom oder Volumenstrom wieder hergestellt ist. Während des ungestörten Normalbetriebes schützt die sogenannte Pumpgrenzregelung zur Steuerung des Bypassventils den Verdichter vor Schäden, die durch das required throughput, mass flow or volume flow is restored. During undisturbed normal operation, the so-called surge limit control protects the control of the Bypass valves the compressor from damage caused by the
Pumpen verursacht werden würden, wobei bei einem Ausfall eines der beteiligten Messsignale der Schutz der Maschine vor diesen Schäden weiterhin gewährleistet sein muss. Pumping would be caused, in case of failure of one of the measuring signals involved, the protection of the machine must be guaranteed against these damages continue.
Eine Möglichkeit, um auf einen Signalausfall an den One way to respond to a signal failure at the
Messstellen zu reagieren, ist der Ersatz des gestörten Measuring points to respond is the replacement of the disturbed
Messwertes durch den ungünstigsten denkbaren Messwert - also einen Wert, der eine größere Nähe zur Pumpgrenze ergibt, als es in Wirklichkeit der Fall ist. Somit ist die Maschine weiterhin vor Pumpstößen geschützt, aber es wird Measured value by the most unfavorable conceivable measured value - ie a value which gives a greater proximity to the surge limit than it actually is. Thus, the machine is still protected from surges, but it will

Bypassventil unnötig geöffnet, so dass sich der Wirkungsgrad der Anlage verschlechtert. Schlimmstenfalls öffnet das Ventil so weit, dass sich der Durchsatz durch den Verdichter auf ein inakzeptables Minimum reduziert und so der in der Regel von dem Verdichtungsprozess stark abhängige angeschlossene Bypass valve opened unnecessarily, so that the efficiency of the system deteriorates. In the worst case, the valve opens so far that the throughput through the compressor is reduced to an unacceptable minimum and so the usually heavily dependent on the compression process connected

bekannt, dass der Pumpgrenzregler ein konstantes It is known that the surge limit controller is a constant
Ausgangssignal generiert im Falle einer Störung, welches das Ventil soweit öffnet, dass unter keinen Umständen ein Pumpen auftreten kann. Auch dies führt zu einer negativen Output signal generated in the event of a fault, which opens the valve so far that under any circumstances, a pump can occur. This too leads to a negative
Beeinflussung des angeschlossenen Prozesses. Influencing the connected process.
In der Regel umfassen die gemessenen Messwerte auch eine Messung des Durchsatzes durch den Verdichter. In dem As a rule, the measured values measured also include a measurement of the throughput through the compressor. By doing
Zusammenhang ist es auch bekannt, bei einer Störung, die nicht die Messung der Durchsatzmenge betrifft, den Verdichter auf den Durchsatz einer Minimalmenge einzuregeln, bei welcher ein Pumpen ausgeschlossen ist. In connection with this, it is also known, in the case of a fault, which does not concern the measurement of the flow rate, to regulate the compressor to the throughput of a minimum amount at which pumping is precluded.
Eine weitere bekannte Möglichkeit, einem Störfall bei den Messungen zu begegnen, ist die Vorgabe, dass das Another known way to counteract a fault in the measurements is the requirement that the
Druckverhältnis als konstant und entsprechend dem Pressure ratio as constant and according to the
größtmöglichen zu erwartenden angenommen wird, welches ebenfalls einen großen Abstand zu Pumpgrenze ergibt. Ein Ausfall der Saugdruckmessung lässt sich auf diese Weise nicht beherrschen . expected to be the largest possible, which also gives a large distance to surge limit. One Failure of the suction pressure can not be controlled in this way.
Ausgehend von den Problemen des Standes der Technik hat es sich die Erfindung zur Aufgabe gemacht, eine Based on the problems of the prior art, the invention has set itself the task, a
Rückfallstrategie bei Ausfall einer der vorgenannten Fallback strategy in case of failure of one of the aforementioned
Messungen für den Betrieb eines Verdichters der eingangs genannten Art zu entwickeln, welche trotz eines Höchstmaßes an Sicherheit einen akzeptablen Wirkungsgrad im fortgesetzten Betrieb gewährleistet. To develop measurements for the operation of a compressor of the type mentioned, which ensures an acceptable efficiency in continued operation despite a maximum of safety.
Zur erfindungsgemäßen Lösung der Aufgabe wird ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art mit den Merkmalen des To solve the problem of the invention, a method of the type mentioned above with the features of
kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 vorgeschlagen. characterizing part of claim 1 proposed.
Unter den Messwerten einer Saugdruckmessung oder Among the measured values of a suction pressure measurement or
Enddruckmessung versteht die Erfindung sowohl die gemessenen Parameter in einer für den physikalischen Parameter Final pressure measurement, the invention understands both the measured parameters in one for the physical parameter
charakteristischen Einheit als auch eine Abwandlung dieses Messwertes durch eine Normierung, insbesondere eine characteristic unit as well as a modification of this measured value by normalization, in particular a
Normierung, welche diesen Messwert dimensionslos macht. Normalization, which makes this measurement dimensionless.
Zweckmäßig ist dies beispielsweise bei dem Saugdruck und dem Enddruck, wenn diese auf den Saugdruck normiert werden. Der Durchsatz wird regelmäßig mittels einer Differenzdruckmessung über eine Messblende gemessen und kann dementsprechend auch in der physikalischen Einheit eines Drucks angegeben werden und dementsprechend in gleicher Weise besonders zweckmäßig dimensionslos abgewandelt werden, wie der Saugdruck und der Enddruck. Grundsätzlich ist aber auch eine andersartige This is expedient, for example, in the suction pressure and the final pressure, if these are normalized to the suction pressure. The throughput is measured regularly by means of a differential pressure measurement via a metering orifice and can accordingly also be specified in the physical unit of a pressure and accordingly modified in the same way, particularly dimensionless, as the suction pressure and the final pressure. Basically, but also a different kind
Mengenmessung möglich und die Umsetzung der Erfindung mit nicht normierten oder dimensionsbehafteten gemessen Größen. Der entscheidende Unterschied zu dem bisher im Stand der Technik bekannten Verfahren besteht darin, dass hinsichtlich der ausgefallenen Messgröße nicht einfach eine im Quantity measurement possible and the implementation of the invention with non-normalized or dimensioned measured sizes. The decisive difference from the method known hitherto in the prior art is that with regard to the failed measured variable, it is not simply a case of the
Wesentlichen konstante Annahme getroffen wird, sondern dass einerseits eine bereits vorhandene andere Messgröße benutzt wird, um diese mit den noch verbliebenen intakten Messgrößen in einem Ersatzregelalgorithmus bzw. Ersatzregelkennfeld zu einem Sollwert für den Pumpgrenzregler umzusetzen. Dieser Unterschied führt zu einer wesentlich besseren Ausnutzung des möglichen Betriebsbereichs bei gleichzeitig verbessertem Wirkungsgrad gegenüber herkömmlichen Verfahren zum Betrieb von Verdichtern bei dem Ausfall einer der Messstellen, die Einfluss auf die Pumpgrenzregelung haben. Essentially constant assumption is made, but that on the one hand, an existing other measure is used to this with the remaining intact measured variables in a replacement rule algorithm or spare rule map to to implement a setpoint for the surge limit controller. This difference leads to a much better utilization of the possible operating range with simultaneously improved efficiency compared to conventional methods for operating compressors in the event of failure of one of the measuring points, which have an influence on the surge limit control.
Eine bevorzugte Aus führungs form der Erfindung sieht vor, dass im Normalbetrieb aus der Saugdruckmessung und der A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that, in normal operation, the suction pressure measurement and the
Enddruckmessung mittels des ersten Regelungskennfeldes ein Sollwert für den Pumpgrenzregler ermittelt wird, welcher einem Mindestwert für den Durchsatz entspricht. Bevorzugt sind als die weitere Messung der anderen physikalischen Größe des Verdichtungsprozesses die Messung des Anstellwinkels eines Eintrittsleitapparates oder der Drehzahl. Die Variation des Anstellwinkels des Eintrittsleitapparates oder der Final pressure measurement by means of the first control map a setpoint for the surge limit controller is determined, which corresponds to a minimum value for the throughput. Preferred as the further measurement of the other physical size of the compression process, the measurement of the angle of attack Eintrittsleitapparates or the speed. The variation of the angle of attack of Eintrittsleitapparates or the

Zweckmäßig ist die Umsetzung des Zusammenhangs zwischen dem maximalen Verhältnis zwischen Enddruck und Eingangsdruck sowie dem Anstellwinkel des Assign maximum ratio of final pressure to inlet pressure. The same applies to the speed. In this way, each results in a particularly good approximation to the surge line for the replacement control. Appropriately, the implementation of the relationship between the maximum ratio between final pressure and inlet pressure and the angle of attack of

Das Zusatzkennfeld kann auch herangezogen werden, falls es zu einem Ausfall der Saugdruckmessung kommen sollte. Der The additional map can also be used if there should be a failure of the suction pressure measurement. Of the

Eine Abschätzung ohne Verwendung desMinimum setpoint is then formed according to the above approximation for the maximum pressure ratio. The formula for calculation d twerte often contains the suction pressure, e.g. in the form V. An estimate without using the
Saugdrucks kann z.B. durch folgende Formel gegeben werden: Suction pressure can be given eg by the following formula:
Sollte die Messung des Durchsatzes, insbesondere die Messung des Differenzdrucks über eine Messblende ausfallen, ist es in Weiterbildung der Erfindung zweckmäßig, wenn von dem If the measurement of the throughput, in particular the measurement of the differential pressure fails over a metering orifice, it is useful in the invention, if of the

Schritte gegliedert, wobei in einem ersten Schritt mindestens drei Messungen erfolgen, vorliegend der Eingangsdruck PA, der Enddruck PE und eine zur Ermittlung des Durchsatzes erfolgte Differenzdruckmessung ΔΡ. Sind diese Messungen unter 1) störungsfrei (Y) , geht das Verfahren über in Schritt 2), währenddessen anhand eines Regelungskennfeldes CTFE mittels der Messungen der Betriebspunkt OP bestimmt wird und anhand der Differenz zu der Regellinie CTRL einen Sollwert TF. In dem darauffolgenden Schritt 3) wird der Sollwert TV mit der Druckdifferenz ΔΡ verglichen, wobei bei einem größeren Wert von ΔΡ gegenüber TV in einem vierten Schritt das Bypassventil BV geschlossen bleibt und anderenfalls geöffnet wird. Sollte im Verfahrensschritt 1) eine Störung einer der Messungen vorliegen, wird eine weitere Messung d) zur Auswertung in einem Ersatzregelungskennfeld SCTFE herangezogen zur Structured steps, wherein in a first step, at least three measurements are made, in this case the input pressure PA, the final pressure PE and a differential pressure measurement ΔΡ carried out to determine the throughput. If these measurements are less than 1) trouble-free (Y), the method goes to step 2), during which the operating point OP is determined by means of a control characteristic diagram CTFE and a nominal value TF based on the difference to the control line CTRL. In the subsequent step 3), the setpoint value TV is compared with the pressure difference ΔΡ, wherein at a larger value of ΔΡ compared to TV in a fourth step, the bypass valve BV remains closed and otherwise opened. If a fault of one of the measurements is present in method step 1), a further measurement d) is used for the evaluation in a replacement control characteristic SCTFE for
Ermittlung eines Ersatzsollwertes ETV. In dem darauffolgenden Schritt 3a) wird in gleicher Weise, wie in Schritt 3) ein Vergleich durchgeführt, hier zwischen dem Enddruck PE und dem Ersatzsollwert TVE . Sollte der Enddruck PE größer sein, erfolgt im Verfahrensschritt 4) ein Verschließen des Determination of a substitute setpoint ETV. In the subsequent step 3a), a comparison is made in the same way as in step 3), here between the final pressure PE and the substitute setpoint TVE. If the final pressure PE be greater, in step 4) a closing of the
Bypassventils BV, anderenfalls ein Öffnen. Bypass valves BV, otherwise an opening.
