It can be seen from this that when using the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention to produce compressed air, there is no need to install a heater to meet the user's temperature requirements for compressed air, which can save energy consumption and reduce the cost of use.

Preferably, the water-cooled outlet 53 of the water cooler 5 is connected to the intercooled outlet 23 of the intercooler 2, and the water-cooled inlet 54 of the water cooler 5 is connected to the intercooled inlet 24 of the intercooler 2.

Preferably, an inlet water temperature sensor 45 and an inlet water pressure sensor 46 are provided at the intercooled inlet 24 of the intercooler 2, and an outlet water temperature sensor 47 is provided at the intercooled outlet 23 of the intercooler 2. Thus, a water inlet temperature sensor 45 and a water inlet pressure sensor 46 are provided at the intercooler water inlet 24 of the intercooler 2 to monitor the inlet temperature and pressure of the cooling water entering the intercooler 2 and the water cooler 5 in real time, thereby determining whether the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention has met the startup conditions.

In this way, the air filter 71 is provided at the air inlet 16 of the compressor main unit 1 to filter the air entering the compressor main unit 1, remove impurities such as moisture and dust in the air, improve the dryness and cleanliness of the compressed air produced by the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention, and prevent impurities in the air from entering the compressor main unit 1 and causing damage to the compressor main unit 1; the intake air temperature sensor 72 and the intake air pressure transmitter 73 are provided between the air inlet 16 of the compressor main unit 1 and the air filter 71, and the intake air temperature sensor 72 and the intake air pressure transmitter 73 can be used to monitor the temperature and pressure of the air entering the compressor main unit 1 through the air inlet in real time, facilitating control and adjustment.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, in the magnetically levitated centrifugal air compressor of the present invention, an air supply pipe is connected to the secondary exhaust port 13 of the compressor main unit 1. A check valve 81 and an air supply pressure sensor 82 are provided on the air supply pipe, and the air supply pressure sensor 82 is located near the secondary exhaust port 13 of the compressor main unit 1. Thus, by providing the check valve 81 and the air supply pressure sensor 82 on the air supply pipe connected to the secondary exhaust port 13 of the compressor main unit 1, the air supply pressure sensor 82 can be used to monitor in real time the pressure of the compressed air output by the compressor main unit 1 and supplied to the user end. Furthermore, the check valve 81 can be used to prevent the compressed air in the air supply pipe from flowing back into the compressor main unit 1 through the secondary exhaust port 13, thereby affecting the operation of the compressor main unit 1. Preferably, a discharge branch pipe is provided on the air supply pipe, which is connected to the air supply pipe near the check valve 81.

In this way, during the operation of the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention, the compressed air in the air supply pipe can be discharged by using the discharge regulating valve 84 to regulate the air pressure at the secondary exhaust port 13 of the compressor main unit 1, thereby preventing the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention from surging due to the pressure buildup at the secondary exhaust port of the compressor main unit; when the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention is shut down, the compressed air inside the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention can be discharged into the atmosphere in time by using the discharge regulating valve 85 to prevent the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention from surging when the discharge regulating valve 84 is not fully opened; when the compressed air in the air supply pipe is discharged into the atmosphere by using the discharge regulating valve 84 or the discharge valve 85, the discharge muffler 83 can be used to mute the air and reduce the noise. Preferably, the discharge regulating valve 84 can be a butterfly valve, which is simple and convenient to select and control.
[0018] The utility model magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor drives the gas to rotate at high speed by the impeller, so that the gas generates centrifugal force. Due to the expansion flow of the gas in the diffuser, the flow rate and pressure of the gas after passing through the impeller are increased, and compressed air is continuously produced.
[0019] Before powering on:
[0020] The water inlet temperature sensor 45 and the water inlet pressure sensor 46 are used to detect in real time whether the water inlet temperature and water inlet pressure of the coolant (such as water) entering the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention meet the startup conditions (such as: water inlet pressure ≥1.5bar, water inlet temperature ≤32℃). When any one of the water inlet pressure and water inlet temperature does not meet the set startup conditions, the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention cannot be started, and at the same time, the temperature conditions are displayed on the control panel of the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention to facilitate adjustment and maintenance by operators and maintenance personnel.
[0021] When booting:
[0022] The reflux pump 7 works first, transporting the antifreeze (such as ethylene glycol) in the liquid storage tank 6 to the internal circulation of the motor casing of the compressor main unit 1, taking away the heat inside the motor, and exchanging heat with the cooling water in the water cooler 5 to reduce the temperature, and then returning to the liquid storage tank 6, thus repeating the cycle.
[0023] During the operation of the water cooling system of the compression main unit 1 formed by the water cooler 5, the liquid storage tank 6 and the reflux pump 7, the motor shaft in the compression main unit 1 will be in a suspended state along with the magnetic levitation bearing, and the first fan 86 and the second fan 87 will work to blow air to cool the inside of the motor; the third fan 88 will work to take away the heat inside the chassis of the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention, the vent valve 85 will be closed, and the discharge regulating valve 84 will be in a fully open state, and the compression main unit 1 in the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention will start to work.
[0024] During the operation of the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention, the gas operation process is as follows:
[0025] After being filtered by the air filter 71, the air in the atmosphere enters the primary compression chamber in the compressor main unit 1 for primary compression, obtaining high-temperature, low-pressure primary compressed air. This high-temperature, low-pressure primary compressed air is then discharged through the primary air outlet 11, i.e., the primary volute, on the compressor main unit 1. When the temperature of the compressed air discharged from the compressor main unit 1 and supplied to the user end meets the user's usage requirements, and the temperature regulating valve 3 is in the closed state, the high-temperature, low-pressure primary compressed air is transported through the primary exhaust main pipe to the intercooler 2 for cooling, obtaining low-temperature, low-pressure primary compressed air. This low-temperature, low-pressure primary compressed air is then transported through the secondary air inlet pipe to the compressor main unit 1 for secondary compression, obtaining high-temperature, high-pressure secondary compressed air. This high-temperature, high-pressure secondary compressed air is then discharged through the secondary exhaust port 13 of the compressor main unit 1 and supplied to the user end. When the temperature of the compressed air discharged from the compressor main unit 1 and supplied to the user end is lower than the user's usage requirements, the temperature regulating valve 3 opens, and a portion of the high-temperature, low-pressure first-stage compressed air is transported through the first-stage exhaust main pipe to the intercooler 2 for cooling, obtaining low-temperature, low-pressure first-stage compressed air. This low-temperature, low-pressure first-stage compressed air is then transported to the compressor main unit 1 through the second-stage intake pipe; a portion of the high-temperature, low-pressure first-stage compressed air is directly transported to the compressor main unit 1 through the first-stage exhaust branch pipe; the low-temperature, low-pressure first-stage compressed air and the high-temperature, low-pressure first-stage compressed air entering the compressor main unit 1 undergo secondary compression in the compressor main unit 1 to obtain high-temperature, high-pressure secondary compressed air. The high-temperature, high-pressure secondary compressed air discharged from the compressor main unit 1, i.e., the compressed air, passes through the check valve and is supplied to the user end. During the operation of the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention, the central control system can control the opening of the temperature regulating valve 3 according to the temperature data monitored in real time by the first temperature sensor 41, the second temperature sensor 42, the third temperature sensor 43 and the fourth temperature sensor 44, that is, adjust the proportion of the high-temperature and low-pressure first-level compressed air directly delivered to the compression host 1 through the first-level exhaust branch pipe, so that the temperature of the compressed air discharged from the second-level exhaust port 13 of the compression host 1 and supplied to the user end meets the user's usage requirements.
[0026] During the operation of the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention, when the air temperature and air pressure in the air supply pipe at the secondary exhaust port of the compressor main unit 1 are too high, in order to prevent the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention from surging due to the pressure buildup at the secondary exhaust port 13 of the compressor main unit 1, a portion of the high-temperature and high-pressure secondary compressed air is discharged into the atmosphere through the discharge branch pipe and the discharge regulating valve 84, and during the process of the frequency of the motor in the compressor main unit 1 increasing, the discharge regulating valve 84 is gradually closed until the air temperature and air pressure at the secondary compression exhaust port 13 reach the set value, and the discharge regulating valve 84 is completely closed. In addition, during the operation of the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention, the central control system controls the discharge regulating valve 84 to open to an appropriate size according to the system pressure of the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention, ensuring that the motor in the compressor main unit 1 operates at the lowest lower limit frequency and does not surge, and the excess compressed air in the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention is discharged into the atmosphere.
[0027] During operation, the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention receives cooling water in two separate routes, entering the intercooler 2 and the water cooler 5. The cooling water discharged from the intercooler 2 and the water cooler 5 is then combined and discharged to the exterior of the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor. The cooling water entering the intercooler 2 undergoes heat exchange with the high-temperature, low-pressure primary compressed air within the intercooler 2; the cooling water entering the water cooler 5 undergoes heat exchange with the internal circulating medium (ethylene glycol antifreeze) within the water cooler 5.
[0028] During shutdown:
[0029] The first fan 86, the second fan 87, the third fan 88 and the reflux pump 7 stop working, the temperature regulating valve 3 is closed, the vent valve 85 is opened, the valve degree of the discharge regulating valve 84 is continuously opened according to the surge line of the compression host 1, and the motor of the compression host 1 gradually reduces the frequency; until the discharge regulating valve 84 is fully opened and the frequency of the motor of the compression host 1 is zero, the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention is not in a completely stopped state. Only when the magnetic levitation bearing of the motor in the compression host 1 falls completely, the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention is in a completely stopped state.
[0030] In addition, after the magnetic levitation centrifugal air compressor of the present invention is started, the central control system can be used to adjust the speed of the motor in the compression host 1 through the frequency conversion of the frequency converter according to the operating conditions of the user end, thereby achieving energy saving; when the gas consumption at the user end is relatively low, the central control system can be used to open the discharge regulating valve 84 according to the performance curve of the compression host 1 to discharge excess gas and prevent the compression host 1 from sending surge.
