Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for the protection of a volumetric liquid-injected compressor of the type comprising a compressor element driven by a motor, a pressure conduit connected to the compressor element, a separator for injection liquid erected in this pressure conduit, an injection conduit for injecting the separated injection liquid into the compressor element, and a cooler in this injection conduit, according to which method the outlet temperature of the compressed gas is measured and, depending on this temperature and on a limit value, it is determined whether the motor has to be stopped.
- injection liquid for example, water
- This injection liquid also serves as a sealing agent between the two rotors of the compressor element.
- This liquid is discharged along with the compressed gas and separated from the gas in a separator or vessel and re-used for injection.
- the internal cooling during compression fails, and the temperature of the compressed gas, when exiting the compressor element, immediately becomes very high. Depending on the internal pressure ratio of the compressor element, this temperature can reach 250 to 300°C.
- a thermostatic valve in the injection conduit provides for that the compressor element reaches its normal temperature as soon as possible, which temperature can be set closely to the aforementioned limit value.
- the injection temperature and, consequently, also the temperature of the compressed gas at the outlet of the compressor element depend on the environmental temperature. It is, in fact, desirable to keep the temperature of the injection water as low as possible in order to approach an isothermic compression as closely as possible. This has a favourable influence onto the energy output of the compression.
- the invention in particular relates to such compressors without thermostatic regulation.
- the present invention aims at offering a solution for the above-mentioned problem and at providing a method for protecting a volumetric compressor, in which said temperature peaks are avoided.
- this problem is solved in a compressor as described in the first paragraph and with an air-cooled cooler in that also the environmental temperature in the proximity of the compressor element is measured and the limit value is rendered dependent on this environmental temperature.
- the set protection temperature is variable and always is situated not much above the outlet temperature, major delays and temperature peaks will never occur.
- the protection temperature dependent on the environmental temperature, it can be obtained that the protection works equally fast in the whole temperature range.
- the cooler does not work optimum and the cooling air flow is hampered, as a result of which the air in the compressor housing is heated.
- the environmental temperature or the temperature at the outlet of the cooler rises for the cooling liquid, the protection temperature, which depends thereupon, also will rise, which might lead to inacceptably high temperatures at the outlet of the compressor element.
- the volumetric water-injected compressor with, thus, water as an injection liquid substantially consists of a compressor element l, a motor 2 driving this compressor element 1, a pressure conduit 3 which is connected to the compressor element 1 and in which successively a vessel which is a water separator 4 and a cooler 5 are erected, and an injection conduit 6, for returning the separated water and injecting it into the compressor element 1, in which a cooler 7 is erected.
- the coolers 5 and 7 are air-cooled coolers with separate radiators 8 and 9, which are erected in the pressure conduit 3 and the injection conduit 6, respectively, and with a common fan 10.
- the compressor comprises a protection against excessive temperatures which comprises an electronic control device 11 which controls the motor 2 and to which two temperature sensors 12 and 13 are connected.
- the temperature sensor 12 is arranged at the outlet of the compressor element 1 in the pressure conduit 3, and the temperature sensor 13 is provided, for example, in the suction conduit 14 which connects to the compressor element 1, or in the immediate vicinity thereof.
- the outlet temperature of the compressed gas, as well as the environmental temperature in the immediate vicinity of the compressor element 1, and in particular in the suction conduit 14, are measured by means of the temperature sensors, 12 and 13, respectively.
- control device 11 By the control device 11, the difference between these two temperatures is determined and compared to a put-in limit value of the temperature difference. If this limit value is reached or exceeded, then the control device 11 stops the motor 2.
- the protection level at which the motor 2 is stopped is closer to the normal value of the outlet temperature of the air, at the outlet of the compressor element, as a consequence of which the influence of a sudden temperature increase only results in a minor delay of the protection.
- the control device 11 also adds said limit value for the temperature difference to a chosen limit value of the environmental temperature. The sum thereof provides an absolute limit and, when it is reached or exceeded, the control device 11 also commands the stopping of the motor 2.
