Definitions
- Excess liquid is purged from the liquid injection system by venting compressed gas into the compressor liquid injection gallery.
- the self-regulating valve provides substantially reduced flow of liquid during the unloaded running condition and together with the compressed gas purging action eliminates the vibration and noise caused by high liquid injection rates, and prevents choking or flooding of the compressor.
- Conventional positive displacement rotary gas compressor units include a class of machines in which a liquid is continually injected into the compression chamber of the compressor in large quantities for cooling the gas being compressed, as well as for lubricating and gas tight sealing the working mechanism of the compressor.
- These compressor units usually include a combination compressed gas receiver-liquid reservoir tank located downstream of the compressor discharge passage where separation of the liquid from the compressed gas is attained.
- the liquid is usually recirculated by .-a metering pump via attendant devices such as filters and heat exchangers to provide continuous injection into the compressor.
- the invention resides in the provision in a control system for positive displacement rotary compressors of the liquid injected type of a flow control valve for restricting the rate of liquid injected into the compressor when run ning in the unloaded condition.
- the invention also provides for a liquid flow control valve that is self-regulating to permit maximum flow of injection liquid during periods of loaded operation of the compressor and operable to limit the amount of liquid injected during periods of unloaded operation to a desired proportional amount of the loaded injection rate.
- This proportional flow rate is achieved by a spring loaded valve element which reacts to a predetermined pressure in the liquid injection line to the compressor during loaded operation to permit suitable injection rates for efiicient operation.
- the pressure on the valve is insuflicient to prevent the valve from closing whereby flow of liquid to the compressor under such conditions is metered by a properly sized orifice located in the valve element.
- the invention also provides for purging excess oil from the compressor interior by utilizing the venting of compressed gas from the compressor system at the onset of unloaded operation to rapidly displace excess oil remaining in the system downstream of the flow control valve.
- liquid injected compressor units of the type discussed herein may be operated more etficiently than heretofore realized.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a liquid injected gas compressor system embodying the present invention.
- FIG. '2 is a sectional view of a portion of a typical rotary liquid injected compressor casing illustrating details of the self-regulating liquid flow control valve.
- FIG. 1 represents a compressor system characterized by a positive displacement liquid injected rotary compressor.
- C mpressors of this type are generally categorized as being of either the sliding vane or helical screw design although other types are known and used to a lesser degree in the art.
- Such compressors are widely used for industrial compressed air systems, in the construction industry, and various applications for compressing gases other than air.
- the injection liquid is a lightweight mineral oil, although special systems have used water, condensed vapors, and various other liquids.
- FIG. 1 will be considered to be that of an inddustrial plant air compressor unit having an oil injected, helical screw compressor generally designated by numeral driven by an electric motor 12.
- the compressor 10 is equipped with an inlet throttling valve 14 actuated by a valve operator 16.
- An inlet air cleaner 18 is shown mounted upstream of the valve 14.
- Compressed air and oil are discharged from the compressor 10 through a discharge line 20 to a combined air receiver-oil reservoir tank 22 which may contain suitable means for separating from the compressed air virtually all liquid such as the oil and condensed water vapor.
- the liquid free air then flows through conduit 24 and check valve 26 to a compressed air storage tank 28.
- the valve 30 provides control over compressed air flowing from the tank 28 to the end usage.
- the tank 28 may be eliminated since the network of piping making up the distribution system serves as adequate storage capacity for the compressed air.
- the compressor oil injection system includes the com bination air receiver-oil reservoir tank 22 serving as a source of injection oil from which extends an oil supply line 32 leading to a filter 34.
- a continuing oil supply line 36 leads to a heat exchanger 38 and from that com ponent line 40 connects to a flow control valve housing 42 located on the compressor casing 44.
- c ntrol components of the compressor system which include a conduit 46 in communication with the compressed air storage tank 28 and a pilot or self-actuated valve 48 which is responsive to a predetermined pressure in the conduit 46 to open and admit pressure air to the conduit 50 which is in communication with the valve operator 16. Also connected to the conduit 50 is a pressure switch 52 whose purpose will be discussed herein.
- a vent conduit 54 leading to a normally open solenoid valve 56.
- the valve 56 is electrically connected to the pressure switch 52 by suitable means (not shown) and is controlled to be closed when energized, that is when the switch 52 is closed. Downstream of the valve 56 a conduit 58 leads to an exhaust muffler 60 vented to atmosphere and a secondary conduit 62 leads through a flow restrictor 64 and a check valve 66 to the flow control valve housing 42.
- the flow control valve housing 42 is illustrated fastened to the compressor casing 44 by suitable means, not shown, and having an interior portion 68 opening into the compressor oil injection gallery 70. Communicating with the gallery 70 is passage .72 which leads to various locations within the compressor which require lubrication and cooling such as bearings, drive gears and seals. As shown in FIG. 2, the housing 42 comprises a cover for liquid injection gallery 70. Also in communication with the gallery 70 are the main oil injection ports 74 which communicate directly with the compression chamber of the compressor. Secondary oil injection ports 76 receive drainage oil from the aforementioned bearings, etc., via passages 78 opening into cavities 80.
- the oil injection flow control valve designated in its entirety by 82 comprises a plug member 84 having a hollow interior 85 partially threaded for receiving the conduit 40.
- the plug member 84 is threadedly disposed in the housing 42 and forms a seat for a valve closure plate 86 which is biased to the closed position by a coil spring 88.
- a bypass orifice 90 in the valve plate 86 is sized to permit a predetermined flow of oil into the gallery when the valve is closed.
- a spring and closure plate retainer 92 is suitably secured to the plug 84 by pins 94 which also serve to guide the closure plate.
- a plug 96 is threadedly disposed in the housing 42 also, and connected thereto is the secondary vent line 62 which communicates with the interior 68 of the valve housing 42 via the passage 98.
- the function of the oil flow control valve and the compressor system in general can best be explained by a discussion of the operation of the system.
- the compressor system shown is typical of the type provided for industrial plants for compressing atmospheric air to nominal pressures in the range of 100 to p.s.i.g. depending on plant requirements.
- the system with the motor deenergized and no pressure air in the tank 28 will find the pilot valve 48 closed, the throttling valve 14 is also lightly biased to be closed, and the solenoid valve 56 open.
- the compressor unit is started by closing a switch on a motor starter unit, not shown, to energize the motor.
- the pressure switch 52 also suitably electrically connected to the motor starter unit and being in the closed position, will permit energization of the solenoid valve 56 to close the same.
- a near total vacuum is momentarily created in the compressor inlet creating a pressure differential across the compressor throttling valve 14 sufficient to open the valve and admit air to the compressor.
- valve 30 is closed or nearly closed prior to compressor startup so that pres sure in the receiver-reservoir tank 22 and the storage tank 28 builds up rapidly and oil commences to flow from the tank 22 through the injection supply system consisting of the conduit 32, filter 34, conduit 36, heat exchanger 38, and conduit 40 to the fiow control valve 82.
- the flow control valve closure plate 86 will be forced fully open to provide full oil flow to the compressor 10.
- the compressor system is now running with full oil and inlet air flow to supply compressed air to the end usage.
- pilot valve 48 As demand for compressed air downstream of the service valve 30 decreases pressure in the storage tank 28 and receiver-reservoir 22 will rise to a preset unload value sensed by the pilot valve 48, for example, 100 p.s.i.g.
- the self-actuating pilot valve will commence the unloading cycle by opening to admit pressure air to the conduit 50 to be sensed by the pressure switch 52 and the inlet valve operator 16 whereupon, simultaneously, the switch will open to deenergize the solenoid valve 56 opening the same, and the operator 16 will actuate to close the compressor inlet valve 14 shutting ofi the supply of inlet air to the compressor.
- Opening the solenoid valve 56 will result in the venting of the receiver-reservoir tank 22 to atmosphere through the vent conduit 58 and mufiier 60.
- the check valve 26 prevents back flow of compressed air from the storage tank 28.
- a quantity of pressure air will flow through the secondary vent conduit 62 and into the flow control housing 42 to purge or scavenge excess oil present therein and in the injection gallery 70 by forcing the oil through the injection ports 74.
- the interior of the compressor in and near the inlet will also be evacuated to a near total vacuum caused by the pumping action of the compressor. This vacuum condition will also exist in the interior of the valve housing and the oil injection gallery due to the fact that the injection ports 74 and 76 communicate with the compression chamber in the vicinity of the compressor inlet.
- the pressure difierential across the flow control valve is essentially one atmosphere and the closure plate 86 urged by the spring 88 will close permitting only enough oil to fioW to the compressor as determined by the bypass orifice 90 in the closure plate.
- the oil flow control valve 82 is desirably located as close to the compressor as is practical, the purpose being in this respect to minimize the quantity of excess oil required to be purged between the flow control valve and the interior of the compressor at the onset of the unloading cycle.
- a small quantity of air will flow from the reservoir tank 22, through the vent conduits 58, and the secondary vent conduit 62, to mix with the reduced quantity of oil flowing through the interior 68 of the flow control valve housing 42 and provide an atomized oil-air mixture which further reduces vibration and noise in the compressor.
- the oil-air mixture is, of course, eventually pumped through the compressor and into the reservoir tank via the discharge line 20.
- the flow restrictor 64 limits the quantity of air fiowing to the compressor under these conditions to an amount inconsequential to compressor power demand.
- the resumption or increase in pressure air demand will cause the pressure in the storage tank 28 to drop and upon reaching a preset minimum the pilot valve 48 will shift to close and vent the conduit 50.
- the compressor will then resume loaded operation as the switch 52 closes to energize the solenoid valve 56 to prevent venting of the receiver-reservoir tank, and the compressor inlet valve 14 will open to permit full inlet air flow to the compressor.
- Pressure increase in the receiver-reservoir tank 22 will again force full oil flow as the flow control valve 82 opens in response to the increased pressure differential.
- the flow control valve 82 may be located at other points in the injection liqirid supply system between the receiver-reservoir tank 22 and the compressor 10 with, however, less desirable results.
- the pump may be advantageously driven by an auxiliary drive shaft On the compressor or by separate drive means. In such a case it is desirable to position the oil flow control valve upstream of the pump so that the valve may still be operative in the unloaded condition to provide for a reduced oil flow rate.
- the system disclosed need not be limited to industrial air compressors, but could be applied to many applications involving liquid injected rotary compressors.
