Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an axial flow compressor, and in particular to a method for setting a surge line of an axial flow compressor with a variable inlet pressure. Background Art

[0002] The surge line of an axial compressor is a critical benchmark parameter for the operation of the unit. It is determined by parameters such as pressure ratio and flow rate. Its formation mechanism is closely related to airflow separation and pipe network resonance. When the joint operating point enters the surge limit line, the surge phenomenon is triggered.

[0003] The most common method for setting the surge line of an existing axial compressor is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the coordinate variable of the X axis in the two-dimensional coordinate system is set to the throat differential pressure value, referred to as throat difference, represented by Δp, and the coordinate variable of the Y axis is set to absolute pressure or pressure ratio;

[0004] When the pressure at the compressor inlet is within a constantly changing range, such as when the inlet pressure changes from 99 kPa to 10 kPa, the density of the working fluid naturally decreases due to the decrease in inlet pressure, and the throat differential pressure also tends to decrease. If the throat differential pressure is still used as the coordinate variable of the X-axis, the system will mistakenly determine that the compressor has entered a surge condition and shut down due to the decrease in throat differential pressure. In fact, the compressor has not entered a surge condition. Therefore, this setting method cannot accurately confirm the safe operating boundary of the compressor when the compressor inlet pressure fluctuates within a large range, resulting in abnormal operation of the compressor and affecting the safe operation of the compressor. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the technical problem that the existing compressor surge line cannot accurately confirm the safe operating boundary of the compressor when the compressor inlet pressure fluctuates within a large range, and to propose a method for setting the surge line of an axial flow compressor with a variable inlet pressure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions proposed by the present invention are:

[0007] A method for setting a surge line of an axial flow compressor with a variable inlet pressure is characterized in that it includes the following steps:

[0008] S1. Establish a two-dimensional coordinate system, set the horizontal coordinate of the surge line setting curve to the equivalent flow rate m' of the surge line, and the vertical coordinate to the pressure ratio; the pressure ratio is the ratio of the compressor outlet pressure to the inlet pressure;

[0009] S2. Adjust the axial flow compressor to a stable operating condition and maintain it at this condition for a certain period of time. Then collect the voltage and current of the compressor drive motor, the inlet temperature, outlet temperature, inlet pressure, outlet pressure, and throat pressure of the compressor, and calculate the coefficient Y1 using the following formula;

[0010]

[0011] Where U is the voltage of the compressor drive motor, I is the current of the compressor drive motor, T1 is the inlet temperature, T2 is the outlet temperature, p1 is the inlet pressure, ΔP is the throat pressure difference, and Cp is the constant pressure specific heat capacity of the working fluid;

[0012] S3. Record the throat pressure difference ΔP, inlet pressure p1, and outlet pressure p3 of each surge point of the axial flow compressor through a surge test experiment. Calculate the equivalent flow rate m′ corresponding to each surge point using the following formula based on the coefficient Y1 calculated in step S2.

[0013]

[0014] S4. Draw a surge line curve diagram based on the calculated equivalent flow rate m' of each surge point and the measured pressure ratio ε.

[0015] Furthermore, in step S2, the axial flow compressor is adjusted to a stable operating condition and maintained for at least 40 minutes.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, the throat pressure difference ΔP is calculated by the following formula:

[0017] ΔP=P2-P1

[0018] Among them, P2 is the compressor throat pressure.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S4, the pressure ratio ε satisfies the following formula:

[0020]

[0021] Among them, P3 is the outlet pressure of the compressor.

[0022] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0023] [1] The present invention provides a method for setting the surge line of an axial flow compressor with a variable inlet pressure. The horizontal coordinate of the surge line is set to the equivalent flow rate, and the vertical coordinate is set to the pressure ratio. This method can effectively solve the problem of compressor operation safety when the inlet pressure of the compressor is in a wide range of fluctuation conditions, effectively reduce the probability of system misjudgment, and ensure that the compressor always maintains a stable, safe, and sustainable operating state.

[0024] [2] The compressor surge line setting method provided by the present invention uses actual test values ​​to more accurately draw the surge line curve, effectively improving the accuracy and effectiveness of the calculated compressor surge line and improving the operating stability of the compressor.

[0027] A method for setting a surge line of an axial flow compressor with a variable inlet pressure comprises the following steps:

[0028] S1. Establish a two-dimensional coordinate system, set the horizontal coordinate of the surge line setting curve to the equivalent flow rate m' of the surge line, and the vertical coordinate to the pressure ratio; the pressure ratio is the ratio of the compressor outlet pressure to the inlet pressure;

[0029] S2. Select a certain stator blade opening for the compressor and adjust the axial flow compressor to a stable operating condition. After maintaining this operating condition for at least 40 minutes, collect the voltage and current of the compressor drive motor, the compressor inlet temperature, outlet temperature, inlet pressure, and throat pressure, and calculate the coefficient Y1 using the following formula:

[0030]

[0031] Where U is the voltage of the compressor drive motor, I is the current of the compressor drive motor, T1 is the inlet temperature, T2 is the outlet temperature, P1 is the inlet pressure, ΔP is the throat pressure difference, and Cp is the constant pressure specific heat capacity of the working fluid;

[0034] S4. Draw a surge line curve diagram based on the calculated equivalent flow rate m' of each surge point and the measured pressure ratio ε.

[0035] The value of Y1 is calculated according to the following formula:

[0036]

[0037] The mass flow rate m is:

[0038]

[0039] The formula for the reduced flow rate m′ is derived as follows:

[0040]

[0041] Will Denoted as coefficient Y1, then:

[0042] Where: A1 is the compressor inlet cross-sectional area, C1 is the compressor inlet flow rate, A2 is the compressor throat cross-sectional area, C2 is the compressor throat flow rate, α1 is the flow coefficient, and R is the working fluid gas constant.

[0043] Since Y1 is a parameter related to the actual working conditions, it is more accurate to use the actual test value; select a certain stator blade opening for the compressor, adjust the axial flow compressor to a stable working condition, and maintain this working condition for at least 40 minutes, then collect the voltage and current of the compressor drive motor, the compressor inlet temperature, outlet temperature, inlet pressure and throat pressure difference;

[0044] According to the motor power
