A control method and apparatus for critical rotational speed avoidance in a compressor-expander set in a gas refrigeration system. By varying an opening of an antisurge or recycle valve, a shaft power used by the compressor in the compressor-expander set may be varied, thereby varying the rotational speed of the compressor-expander set to move it away from its critical speed zone. Additionally, a feedforward signal may be provided by a compressor-expander set control system to cause an antisurge valve for a recycle compressor to open upon a trip or shutdown of one compressor-expander set.

A centrifugal compressor for a chiller system includes a casing, an inlet guide vane, an impeller disposed downstream of the inlet guide vane, a motor and a diffuser. The casing has inlet and outlet portions with the inlet guide vane disposed in the inlet portion. The impeller is attached to a shaft rotatable about a rotation axis, and the motor rotates the shaft in order to rotate the impeller. The centrifugal compressor further includes a casing treatment bypass having an entrance port and an exit port. The casing treatment bypass injects refrigerant from a gap between the impeller and the inlet portion of the casing toward an area between the impeller and the inlet guide vane. The exit port of the casing treatment bypass is positioned upstream in a direction of a refrigerant flow with respect to the entrance port of the casing treatment bypass.

A pipeline pig includes a venturi and a modulating valve located rearward of the inlet side of the venturi. When the valve is in the open position, a predetermined maximum bypass flow is allowed through the venturi. The closed position allows a predetermined minimum bypass flow. The valve may be a poppet-style valve or a frusto-conical shaped stopper. The stopper has sufficient mass and/or aerodynamic drag to overcome the spring force holding the valve in the open position. When the pig stalls, the valve closes and the stopper chokes bypass flow through the venturi. When the pig starts running again, the valve opens as inertia forces the stopper away from the inlet side of the venturi. Also, as friction of the pig increases due to changes in the internal diameter of the pipeline or accumulation of debris ahead of the pig, increased airflow across the valve creates drag sufficient to partially overcome the spring force, thus keeping the pig moving at a desirable rate of travel.

A technique is provided for improved response of internal combustion engines to increased load demands. The engine is equipped with an air storage tank that stores compressed air. The air may be stored at an elevated pressure (e.g., manifold air pressure) during normal full load operation of the engine. Valving maintains the compressed air isolated during normal operation. During transitory periods of higher power output demand, the compressed air is directed to the engine, and output of a turbo-driven compressor can be vented to avoid surge. The technique allows for quicker reaction to load demands, and improved combustion during transitory periods, and reduced particulate and smoke emissions.

An intake controller installed in a diesel engine, wherein the control part of a valve controller fully opens a bypass valve in a bypass passage when it determines that the operating state of the diesel engine is suddenly decelerated from a middle and high speed and middle and high load range. Accordingly, the control part can feed an intake air from the outlet passage side of a compressor to the inlet passage side of an exhaust turbine, and can rapidly lower the rotational speed of an exhaust turbine supercharger (20) which tends to be rotated at a high speed by inertia. As a result, since the operating state not enter a surging area while an operating point is moving, surging can be securely avoided.

A bypass conduit (23) connects an outlet passage of a compressor (21) of an exhaust gas turbocharger (20) and an inlet passage of an exhaust turbine (22), and a bypass valve (24) is provided therein. When the operating condition of a diesel engine (1) is found to be in a low-speed and high-load region, the bypass valve (24) is controlled by means of a valve controller to adjust the bypass conduit (23) so as to open it. Then, the charge air partly flows into an exhaust conduit (4) to increase the rotational speed of the exhaust turbine (22) and hence the charge air flow rate raises the output of the diesel engine (1). Additionally, as the charge air flow rate is increased, the operating condition of a compressor (21) is prevented from approaching the surging range.

The invention relates to a centrifugal air compressor, a control method thereof and a control system thereof. The method is performed after the centrifugal air compressor works in a state corresponding to an appointed flow or pressure value input by a user and comprises the following steps of: acquiring the actual pressure and the actual flow of the front end of an emptying valve in the centrifugal air compressor; according to the corresponding relation between the pressure and the flow, determining a reference flow corresponding to the actual pressure; and adjusting the opening degree of the emptying valve to make the actual flow approximate to the reference flow. In a working process of the embodiment, the user only needs to input a required flow or pressure value and does not need to adjust the opening degree of the emptying valve according to experience, so the labor is saved and the reliability is ensured. In addition, the working state of the centrifugal air compressor is also monitored in real time, and when the centrifugal air compressor is determined to have a surging precursor, the corresponding relation between the pressure and the flow is adjusted to increase the reference flow, so the opening degree of the emptying valve is directly increased to a relatively greater extent, and surging is avoided.
