[0002] Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) technology is increasingly widely used in the concentration of high-boiling-point, heat-sensitive materials (such as food and pharmaceuticals). Single-stage Roots steam compressors have limited temperature rise (typically below 20°C), making multi-stage series technology a key approach to meet process temperature rise requirements of 20-50°C and even higher. However, the performance verification of multi-stage series Roots steam compressors faces significant challenges.
[0003] Currently, performance tests for this type of compressor mostly use air as the medium, which differs significantly from the thermodynamic characteristics of actual steam conditions. This results in test data that cannot accurately reflect the equipment's performance in real-world applications, leading to low reliability. The testing process heavily relies on operator experience, requiring manual observation of instruments and manual adjustment of valves to control parameters such as pressure and temperature, resulting in issues like adjustment lag, poor accuracy, and low repeatability. Furthermore, multi-stage series systems operate under complex conditions, and abnormal conditions (such as over-temperature, over-pressure, and surge) can easily trigger cascading failures, making timely response difficult for manual monitoring and posing high safety risks to the equipment. The lack of a standardized testing method and dedicated system capable of simulating real steam conditions, automatically completing tests, and outputting authoritative performance data severely restricts the reliability verification and widespread application of multi-stage series technology.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an intelligent testing solution that can accurately simulate working conditions, automatically control, ensure safety and reliability, and output quantitative performance evaluation indicators. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0012] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure of the invention, components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples.

It should be noted that the components illustrated in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. Descriptions of well-known components, processing techniques, and processes are omitted in this invention to avoid unnecessarily limiting the invention.
[0013] Example 1 Embodiment 1 of this invention proposes an intelligent performance testing method for multi-stage series Roots steam compressors, which is used to solve the technical problems existing in the performance testing of Roots steam compressors in the prior art.
[0014] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the intelligent performance testing method for a multi-stage series Roots steam compressor proposed in Embodiment 1 of the present invention; In step S1, steam is introduced into the device under test as the test medium; the device under test includes a control unit, a Roots steam compressor connected in series, an interstage spray device, and a parameter detection unit; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the intelligent performance testing system for the multi-stage series Roots steam compressor proposed in Embodiment 2 of the present invention; In the equipment under test, the control unit adopts a PLC control system and a two-stage Roots steam compressor connected in series; the interstage spray device is set between the connecting pipelines of the two adjacent compressor stages; in this invention, the first spray water ball valve 4 is used to control the spray device in the first-stage Roots steam compressor; the second spray water ball valve 8 is used to control the spray device in the second-stage Roots steam compressor.
[0015] In this invention, a steam generator is provided, and a control unit is connected to the steam generator in communication. The control unit controls the steam generator located at the inlet electric butterfly valve 1 to work and generate steam.
[0016] The parameter detection unit is used to collect operating condition data in real time during the test process. In this invention, the parameter detection unit includes a first pressure transmitter 2, a first temperature transmitter 3, a second pressure transmitter 5, a second temperature transmitter 6, a third temperature transmitter 9, a third pressure transmitter 10, and a fourth temperature transmitter 11. It also includes a mass flow meter installed on the main steam pipeline and a vibration sensor installed on the compressor body.
[0017] The pipeline valve assembly includes inlet electric butterfly valves connected to the inlets of each stage of the compressor, bypass valves bridging the inlets and outlets of each stage of the compressor, and the system main return valve. For example... Figure 4 The valve consists of an inlet electric butterfly valve 1, a first reflux butterfly valve 7, a second reflux butterfly valve 12, and an outlet butterfly valve 13.
[0018] The scope of protection of this invention is not limited to the two-stage Roots steam compressor in series proposed in Example 1. Those skilled in the art can choose more stages of Roots steam compressor in series according to the actual situation.
[0019] In step S2, the control unit coordinates the opening degree of each valve in the pipeline valve assembly and the spray water flow rate of the interstage spray device to stabilize the compressors at each stage in the equipment under test at the preset test operating point. This invention is illustrated using the parameters of increasing the design temperature from 70°C to 120°C and increasing the pressure from -70 kPa to 200 kPa (A) as an example. The scope of protection of this invention is not limited to the temperatures listed in Example 1.
[0020] The control unit controls the opening degree of each valve in the pipeline valve assembly. Specifically, it first controls the first return butterfly valve 7 of the first-stage compressor to gradually close, while simultaneously adjusting the opening degree of its inlet electric butterfly valve 1, until the inlet pressure of the first-stage compressor reaches the first-stage design value and stabilizes. Then, it controls the second return butterfly valve 12 of the second-stage compressor to gradually close, while simultaneously adjusting the opening degree of its inlet electric butterfly valve, until the outlet pressure of the second-stage compressor reaches the second-stage design value and stabilizes. For example, the first-stage design value is -30 kPa, and the second-stage design value is 200 kPa.
[0021] The control unit performs the first-stage loading: gradually closing the first return butterfly valve 7 while fine-tuning the inlet electric butterfly valve 1. Through feedback from the first pressure transmitter 2, the first-stage inlet pressure is stabilized at the design value of -30 kPa (gauge pressure). After the first-stage pressure stabilizes, the control unit performs the second-stage loading: gradually closing the second return butterfly valve 12 while adjusting the relevant second-stage valves. Through feedback from the third pressure transmitter 10, the second-stage outlet pressure steadily rises to 200 kPa and stabilizes.
[0022] The control unit controls the spray water flow rate of the interstage spray device to stabilize each stage of the compressor in the test equipment at the preset test operating point. Specifically, the control unit dynamically adjusts the spray water flow rate of the corresponding interstage spray device according to the deviation between the outlet temperature of each stage compressor and the target temperature collected in real time, so as to control the outlet temperature of each stage compressor within the preset temperature range.
[0023] The process of dynamically adjusting the spray water flow rate of the corresponding interstage spray device specifically includes: inputting the deviation value between the outlet temperature of each stage compressor and the target temperature into a preset control model, which is based on a PID neural network algorithm and trained using historical experimental data; the control model performs autonomous calculation and learning based on the input deviation value and outputs the optimal control command, which includes the target spray water flow rate adjustment amount and the corresponding valve opening adjustment amount; the control unit drives the corresponding spray water regulating valve to perform opening adjustment according to the optimal control command.
[0024] The PID neural network algorithm in this invention is an algorithm that combines a traditional PID controller with a neural network, consisting of three parts: an input layer, a hidden layer (PID layer), and an output layer. The input layer consists of 2 neurons, the hidden layer consists of 3 neurons: P / I / D, and the output layer consists of 1 neuron.
[0025] In the implementation of this invention, the first neuron of the input layer receives the temperature deviation value at the current moment; the second neuron of the input layer receives the temperature deviation value at the previous moment; the hidden layer contains three neurons with specific functions, corresponding to the three components of PID control respectively; and one neuron of the output layer corresponds to the output of the optimal control command.
[0026] The second temperature transmitter 6 monitors the outlet temperature of the primary compressor in real time, and the fourth temperature transmitter 11 monitors the outlet temperature of the secondary compressor in real time. If the primary outlet temperature is higher than the set value, the control unit calls the built-in PID neural network model to calculate and execute the optimal adjustment of the opening of the first spray water ball valve 4, increasing the spray to lower the temperature. The secondary temperature control works similarly, adjusted through the second spray water ball valve 8. This process continues until all pressure and temperature parameters stabilize within the tolerance range of the set values for at least 120 seconds, at which point the system is declared to have reached stability. The scope of protection of this invention is not limited to the specific stabilization time listed in Example 1; those skilled in the art can make reasonable adjustments according to the actual situation.
[0027] In step S3, after the equipment under test has been running stably, steady-state operating data within a preset time period is collected through the parameter detection unit. The steady-state operating data includes at least the inlet and outlet pressures, inlet and outlet temperatures, and input power of each stage of the compressor. The steady-state operating data in this invention also includes the steam mass flow rate through the equipment under test, as well as the vibration amplitude of each stage of the compressor collected by vibration sensors. The sampling frequency can reach 100Hz, achieving full-dimensional, high-fidelity acquisition of operating data.
[0028] The Kalman filter algorithm is used to denoise the collected raw data, eliminating abnormal data caused by electromagnetic interference, sensor drift, etc. The data normalization process maps parameters of different dimensions to the [0,1] interval, providing high-quality data input for subsequent fault diagnosis models.
[0029] In step S4, the performance evaluation index of the device under test is calculated using steady-state operating data; the performance evaluation index includes the isentropic efficiency and / or volumetric efficiency of the compressor.
[0030] The performance evaluation indicators of the device under test are calculated using steady-state operating data, specifically including: isentropic efficiency The calculation process is as follows: Based on the aforementioned inlet pressure Export pressure Inlet temperature Based on the steam properties, the isentropic compression work was calculated; the isentropic compression work was then compared with the input power. Perform ratio calculations to obtain isentropic efficiency; ; in, It is isentropic efficiency; In order to meet import pressure and inlet temperature The specific enthalpy of the vapor was found; In order to meet import pressure and inlet temperature The specific entropy of the steam was obtained; In order to alleviate export pressure The entropy value is maintained below Theoretical vapor enthalpy at that time; This is the steam mass flow rate, expressed in kg / s.
[0031] Volumetric efficiency The calculation process is as follows: The volumetric efficiency is obtained by calculating the ratio of the compressor's theoretical discharge capacity to the actual intake steam volume flow rate. ; ; in, This represents the actual volumetric flow rate of the steam being drawn in. This represents the theoretical displacement of the compressor. In order to meet import pressure and inlet temperature The obtained steam density, This refers to the theoretical displacement of the compressor; This refers to the operating speed of the compressor.
[0032] In step S5, the steady-state operation data of the device under test is monitored in real time, and the vibration, temperature change curves and parameter change rates are analyzed through a preset fault diagnosis model. If a fault feature or parameter exceeds the safety threshold, an automatic protection action is triggered.
[0033] The vibration, temperature change curves, and parameter change rates are analyzed using a pre-set fault diagnosis model, specifically including: Time-frequency analysis is performed on the vibration signal to extract vibration characteristics; instantaneous values of temperature, pressure, and flow are obtained, and the rates of change of temperature, pressure, and flow are calculated. The instantaneous temperature and pressure values are compared with preset safety thresholds in real time. If either parameter exceeds its corresponding safety threshold range, a primary anomaly flag is generated. The vibration characteristics, temperature change rate, pressure change rate, and flow change rate are input into a preset fault diagnosis model. The fault diagnosis model is a classifier trained based on a machine learning algorithm, which is used to perform pattern recognition on the input features and output the confidence level corresponding to different fault modes. If the confidence level of any fault mode exceeds a preset judgment threshold, a secondary abnormality flag is generated and a specific fault type identifier is output.
[0034] The fault diagnosis model in this invention uses a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The specific process is as follows: During each diagnostic cycle, real-time signals from vibration, temperature, pressure, and flow sensors are simultaneously acquired and processed as follows: time-domain and frequency-domain analysis is performed on the vibration signals to extract at least 10-dimensional vibration features, including peak value, root mean square value, kurtosis, and bearing fault characteristic frequency amplitude; the first-order rate of change and the slope of the linear trend over a preset time period are calculated for the temperature and pressure signals; all extracted features are standardized to form a standardized multi-dimensional feature vector. Standardized feature vectors are input into a pre-trained SVM model. The SVM model employs a radial basis function kernel, implements multi-class classification through a one-to-one strategy, and uses Platt scaling to output probability values corresponding to different fault modes. The probability values output by the model constitute a confidence vector, where the first 8 bits correspond to 8 predefined fault modes, and the 9th bit corresponds to the normal state. The 8 fault modes include overpressure fault, overtemperature fault, abnormal friction fault, bearing damage fault, surge fault, stall fault, seal failure fault, and sprinkler system fault.
[0035] The scope of protection of this invention is not limited to the listed fault types, and those skilled in the art can make reasonable definitions based on the actual situation.
[0036] If the 9th digit is greater than 0.85 and is the maximum value, then the system is considered to be in a normal state. Otherwise, find the maximum probability value and its corresponding fault category index; If the maximum probability value is greater than the preset judgment threshold, the corresponding fault mode is determined to have occurred, and a secondary anomaly flag is generated. The secondary anomaly flag is a structured data object, which at least includes a fault type identifier, confidence level, timestamp, and key feature evidence that led to the judgment.
[0037] The generated secondary anomaly flag is transmitted to the control unit in real time.
[0038] The scope of protection of this invention is not limited to the models listed in Example 1, and those skilled in the art can make reasonable selections based on the actual situation.
[0039] If a fault characteristic or parameter is detected that exceeds a safety threshold, an automatic protection action is triggered; specifically including: If an overpressure anomaly is detected, the bypass valve of the corresponding compressor is opened to a preset opening degree. If the pressure does not drop within a preset time, the opening degree is further increased. For example, the bypass valve of the corresponding compressor is first opened to 50%. If the pressure does not drop within 200 seconds, the bypass valve is fully opened and frequency reduction is started.
[0040] If an overheating anomaly is detected, enhanced spraying and reflux will be implemented; for example, the opening of the spray water valves of this stage and the upstream stage will be increased to the maximum, and the opening of the reflux valve will be increased to 70% simultaneously.
[0041] If abnormal friction is detected, a load reduction shutdown is performed; for example, the system load is immediately reduced to 10% in sequence, and a soft shutdown is performed within 30 seconds.
[0042] If surge or shutdown is detected, an emergency shutdown should be performed. For example, immediately disconnect the compressor's main power supply and fully open all bypass and return valves.
[0043] The scope of protection of this invention is not limited to the values listed in Example 1, and those skilled in the art can make reasonable adjustments based on the actual situation.
[0044] Combination Figure 4 The given test system, Figure 2 This is a detailed flowchart of the intelligent performance test of the first-stage Roots steam compressor proposed in Embodiment 1 of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a detailed flowchart of the intelligent performance test of the two-stage Roots steam compressor proposed in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0045] The process begins, and the compressor mechanical seal water, compressor inlet spray water, and compressor oil tank cooling water are automatically turned on in sequence.
[0046] Adjust the inlet electric butterfly valve 1, the first return butterfly valve 7, and the second return butterfly valve 12 to the fully open position. Simultaneously, start the steam generator. This step clears the system piping, establishes a steam circulation path, and begins generating test steam. At this time, the compressor is under no-load or low back pressure.
[0047] The primary and secondary compressors are automatically started via frequency converter control. The first spray water ball valve 4 is fully open, the inlet electric butterfly valve 1 and the first return butterfly valve 7 are fully open, the second spray water ball valve 8 is fully open, the second return butterfly valve 12 and the outlet butterfly valve 13 are fully open, and the primary and secondary compressors start up and run synchronously. After the compressor starts, the system continuously monitors its operating status and checks for any abnormalities, such as abnormal vibrations, unusual noises, or abnormal friction sounds. If the status is normal, the control unit gradually closes the outlet butterfly valve 13. If the status remains normal after adjusting the outlet valve, the first return butterfly valve 7 and the second return butterfly valve 12 are gradually closed.
[0048] Steady-state operating data is collected within a preset time period through the parameter detection unit. If the pressure or temperature reaches the design value, the reflux valve is stopped and closed, indicating that the system has stabilized at the target operating condition. If the compressor outlet temperature exceeds the limit, the opening degree of the first spray water ball valve 4 and the second spray water ball valve 8 is dynamically adjusted to increase the spray water volume for precise cooling.
[0049] Once an anomaly or overpressure is detected, the process immediately jumps to the protection branch.
[0050] It will immediately issue an audible and visual alarm and will likely execute preset protection procedures, such as stopping the current valve operation, maintaining or opening the valve, or even performing a tiered shutdown.
[0051] The scope of protection of this invention is not limited to the two-stage Roots steam compressor listed in Example 1.
