Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressor technology, and in particular to a magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] In compressor systems, using a magnetic levitation motor to drive the compressor reduces internal contact friction and mechanical losses, enabling high speeds of tens of thousands of revolutions per minute at a lower cost, thereby achieving a higher compression ratio and higher work efficiency. Simultaneously, eliminating the lubrication system results in a very clean working fluid, reducing maintenance costs.

[0003] However, due to the significant increase in rotational speed, the rotating and magnetically levitated components in the system are subjected to substantial impacts and concentrated local loads when sudden changes in operating conditions occur, leading to safety risks and hindering the widespread application of magnetically levitated centrifugal compression systems. Furthermore, centrifugal compressors also suffer from the problem of being unable to operate stably and economically at low loads for extended periods.

[0026] A third circuit breaker is connected between the generator and the magnetic levitation motor.

[0027] Another objective of this invention is to provide a control method for a magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system that can reduce safety risks during sudden changes in operating conditions.

[0050] The following is based on Figure 1 This invention introduces the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system and its control method.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system mainly includes a centrifugal compressor 2, a magnetic levitation motor 1, a main regulating valve 3, a bypass regulating valve 4, a turbine 5, a generator 7, and an energy storage device. The centrifugal compressor 2 is a functional component that compresses a low-pressure working fluid into a high-pressure working fluid. The low-pressure working fluid enters the centrifugal compressor 2 from its input end and, under the compression work of the centrifugal compressor 2, is transformed into a high-pressure working fluid, which is then output from the output end of the centrifugal compressor 2. The magnetic levitation motor 1 is driven by the centrifugal compressor 2, enabling the rotor of the centrifugal compressor 2 to rotate at high speed, thereby compressing the low-pressure working fluid. The input end of the main regulating valve 3 and the output end of the centrifugal compressor 2 are connected by a pipeline. When the main regulating valve 3 is open, the high-pressure working fluid can be output to the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system through the output end of the main regulating valve 3. The input end of the bypass regulating valve 4 and the output end of the centrifugal compressor 2 are also connected by a pipeline. When the bypass regulating valve 4 is open, the high-pressure working fluid can be input to the turbine 5 through the output end of the bypass regulating valve 4.

[0052] Turbine 5 and generator 7 are connected by a drive system. When high-pressure working fluid is input into turbine 5, the energy of the high-pressure working fluid can be converted into electrical energy and output through turbine 5 and generator 7. Generator 7 is electrically connected to energy storage device and magnetic levitation motor 1. The electrical energy generated by generator 7 can be input into energy storage device for storage or directly input into magnetic levitation motor 1 for power supply. Furthermore, the electrical connection between energy storage device and magnetic levitation motor 1 allows the electrical energy stored in energy storage device to also be input into magnetic levitation motor 1 for power supply.

[0053] In this system, when sudden changes occur in operating conditions, such as blockage at the output of the magnetic levitation centrifugal compressor system or a sudden power outage, the bypass regulating valve 4 is opened to input the high-pressure working fluid into the turbine 5, thus preventing a sharp increase in pressure at the output of the centrifugal compressor 2. Simultaneously, the turbine 5 and generator 7 can convert the energy of the high-pressure working fluid into electrical energy, which can be stored in an energy storage device or supplied to the magnetic levitation motor 1. This achieves energy recovery and utilization while preventing sudden power outages to the magnetic levitation motor 1, thereby improving the safety of the magnetic levitation centrifugal compressor system.

[0054] Optionally, in this embodiment, the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system further includes a mixing buffer 14, which is connected between the output of the turbine 5 and the input of the centrifugal compressor 2. Specifically, the output of the mixing buffer 14 is connected to the input of the centrifugal compressor 2, and the mixing buffer 14 has a first input and a second input. The first input is connected to the output of the turbine 5, and the second input is used to input a low-pressure working fluid into the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system. The high-pressure working fluid becomes a low-pressure working fluid after doing work in the turbine 5 and is then input into the mixing buffer 14. The externally provided low-pressure working fluid is mixed with the low-pressure working fluid after it has done work in the mixing buffer 14 and then input back into the centrifugal compressor 2, thereby realizing the recycling of the working fluid.

[0055] Furthermore, a check valve 15 is connected between the turbine 5 and the mixing buffer 14. The check valve 15 can constrain the working fluid, so that the working fluid can only flow in the direction from the turbine 5 to the mixing buffer 14, thus avoiding damage to the turbine 5 and the generator 7 caused by reverse flow.

[0056] Optionally, the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system also includes a temperature transmitter 16. The temperature transmitter 16 is connected between the main regulating valve 3 and the centrifugal compressor 2, and can measure the temperature of the output high-pressure working fluid to facilitate monitoring of the system's operating status. Similarly, other measuring instruments such as a pressure transmitter 17 and a flow transmitter 18 can also be installed between the main regulating valve 3 and the centrifugal compressor 2, thereby achieving precise control of the system's operating status through multiple different parameters.

[0057] Preferably, a gearbox 6 is also connected between the turbine 5 and the generator 7, so that the generator 7 can generate electricity at a suitable speed and improve the energy recovery and utilization rate.

[0058] It is understandable that the higher the rotational speed of the centrifugal compressor 2, the greater its compression ratio and the higher its energy utilization rate. Therefore, in this embodiment, the rotor of the centrifugal compressor 2 and the output end of the magnetic levitation motor 1 are preferably connected by a coaxial rigid connection, such as by a flange connection or a welded connection, to maximize transmission efficiency. For example, in this embodiment, the rated frequency of the magnetic levitation motor 1 is 500 Hz, and the rated flow rate of the centrifugal compressor 2 is 100 m³ / s. 3 / h.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, the energy storage device includes a supercapacitor bank 10, a first current converter 9, and a second current converter 11. The first current converter 9, supercapacitor bank 10, and second current converter 11 are sequentially connected between the generator 7 and the magnetic levitation motor 1. A first circuit breaker 8 connects the first current converter 9 and the generator 7, and a second circuit breaker 12 connects the second current converter 11 and the magnetic levitation motor 1. When the first circuit breaker 8 is closed and the second circuit breaker 12 is open, the alternating current generated by the generator 7 can be converted into direct current by the first current converter 9 and the electrical energy is input into the supercapacitor bank 10 for storage. When the second circuit breaker 12 is closed, the electrical energy stored in the supercapacitor bank 10 can be output to the magnetic levitation motor 1, ensuring the short-term operation of the magnetic levitation motor 1 and thus preventing the magnetic levitation motor 1 from stopping suddenly and being damaged in the event of a power outage.

[0060] Of course, in some other embodiments, the energy storage device can also use other types of energy storage components such as batteries to achieve the storage and output of electrical energy. Compared with batteries, the supercapacitor pack 10 can achieve extremely fast charging and discharging speeds and efficiency, and has an extremely long cycle life, making it suitable for applications requiring instantaneous high power, fast charging and discharging, and long lifespan.

[0061] Furthermore, a third circuit breaker 13 is connected between the generator 7 and the magnetic levitation motor 1. When the third circuit breaker 13 is closed, the electrical energy generated by the generator 7 can be directly supplied to the magnetic levitation motor 1, and can also ensure the short-term operation of the magnetic levitation motor 1 in the event of a power outage. At the same time, the closing of the third circuit breaker 13 can also prevent overcharging of the energy storage device, thereby protecting the energy storage device.

[0062] This invention also provides a control method for a magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system, capable of controlling the aforementioned magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system to reduce safety risks during sudden changes in operating conditions and improve safety. Specifically, the control method for the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system includes:

[0063] Power generation steps: Open the bypass regulating valve 4 to input the high-pressure working fluid into the turbine 5 to drive the generator 7 to generate electricity.

[0064] Specifically, when the power generation step is implemented, the high-pressure working fluid will not remain continuously between the main regulating valve 3 and the centrifugal compressor 2, thus avoiding the phenomenon of a sharp increase in pressure or a sharp increase in rotor rotation resistance at the output end of the centrifugal compressor 2, which helps to avoid explosion or mechanical damage.

[0065] Energy storage step: Input the electrical energy generated by generator 7 into the energy storage device for storage.

[0066] Specifically, when implementing the energy storage step, closing the first circuit breaker 8 allows electrical energy to be input into the energy storage device for storage, thereby achieving the effect of energy recovery.

[0067] Power supply step: The electrical energy generated by the generator 7 and / or the electrical energy stored in the energy storage device is supplied to the magnetic levitation motor 1.

[0068] Specifically, in the power supply step, it is possible to either close only the second circuit breaker 12 to supply the stored electrical energy to the magnetic levitation motor 1, or close only the first circuit breaker 8 and the second circuit breaker 12 to supply the generated electrical energy (and the stored electrical energy) to the magnetic levitation motor 1 through the storage device, or close only the third circuit breaker 13 to directly supply the electrical energy generated by the generator 7 to the magnetic levitation motor 1. This invention does not limit the specific states of the first circuit breaker 8, the second circuit breaker 12, and the third circuit breaker 13; as long as the electrical energy supply to the magnetic levitation motor 1 is achieved under specific states, it falls within the scope of the power supply step protected by this invention.

[0069] Through the aforementioned power generation, energy storage, and power supply steps, the high-pressure working fluid can be input into turbine 5, preventing a sharp increase in pressure at the output of centrifugal compressor 2. Simultaneously, the combination of these steps converts the energy of the high-pressure working fluid into electrical energy, which can be stored in an energy storage device or supplied to the magnetic levitation motor 1. This achieves energy recovery and utilization while preventing sudden power outages of the magnetic levitation motor 1, thereby improving the safety of the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system.

[0070] For example, when the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system is started, the magnetic levitation motor 1 is started by an external power supply, and the main regulating valve 3 is closed while the bypass regulating valve 4 is opened to implement the above-mentioned power generation, energy storage, and power supply steps. At this time, the magnetic levitation motor 1 drives the centrifugal compressor 2 to work, and all the high-pressure gas enters the turbine 5 to do work, driving the generator 7 to generate electricity. Part of the electrical energy generated by the generator 7 supplies power to the magnetic levitation motor 1, and the other part charges the energy storage device. The centrifugal compressor 2 can gradually increase the output pressure and flow rate of the high-pressure working fluid, and can also realize the recovery and utilization of energy, thereby reducing energy waste. Optionally, when the energy storage device is fully charged, the first circuit breaker 8 (and the second circuit breaker 12) can be disconnected, and only the third circuit breaker 13 can be closed, so that only electrical energy is output to the magnetic levitation motor 1, avoiding overcharging.

[0071] More specifically, when the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system is started, the main regulating valve 3 is first adjusted to the closed state, then the bypass regulating valve 4 is opened to the fully open state, and then the magnetic levitation motor 1 is started by external power supply, so that the centrifugal compressor 2 can operate. After the high-pressure working fluid leaves the centrifugal compressor 2, it flows into the turbine 5 through the bypass regulating valve 4 to do work. The exhaust gas after doing work enters the mixing buffer 14 and mixes with the new low-pressure working fluid entering the mixing buffer 14 before entering the centrifugal compressor 2 for compression.

[0072] The high-voltage power output drives the generator 7 via turbine 5 and gearbox 6 to generate electricity. At this time, the first circuit breaker 8 and the third circuit breaker 13 are closed, while the second circuit breaker 12 is open. The current splits into two paths: one flows into the magnetic levitation motor 1 to supply power, and the other flows into the energy storage device to charge it. When the energy storage device is fully charged, the first circuit breaker 8 is opened, leaving only the third circuit breaker 13 closed.

[0073] By detecting the parameters of the high-pressure working fluid using the pressure transmitter 17 and flow transmitter 18, once the high-pressure working fluid reaches the preset pressure and preset flow rate, the main regulating valve 3 can be gradually opened to output the high-pressure working fluid from the main regulating valve 3 to the outside of the system. Simultaneously, based on the flow or pressure requirements of the high-pressure working fluid, the bypass regulating valve 4 can be gradually closed to stop the power generation process until the high-pressure working fluid is completely output from the main regulating valve 3 to the outside of the system.

[0074] Through the above control process, the system can be started smoothly while the high-pressure working fluid is kept flowing, avoiding the phenomenon of rapid pressure changes during the opening of the main regulating valve 3, and avoiding energy waste during the start-up process, thus achieving both smooth start-up and energy recovery.

[0075] Similarly, when the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system needs to be shut down normally, the main regulating valve 3 is gradually closed, and the bypass regulating valve 4 is gradually opened to implement the power generation, energy storage, and power supply steps. When the main regulating valve 3 is fully closed, the working fluid flows completely within the system. At this point, the operating frequency of the magnetic levitation motor 1 is gradually reduced until it stops. The power generation step continuously consumes energy within the system to gradually reduce the working fluid flow rate, achieving a smooth decrease in the speed of the centrifugal compressor 2 and the magnetic levitation motor 1. Finally, disconnecting the first circuit breaker 8 and closing the bypass regulating valve 4 smoothly completes the normal shutdown process of the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system, avoiding rapid changes in pressure or stress during shutdown and reducing energy waste during shutdown.

[0076] Furthermore, when the magnetic levitation centrifugal compression system encounters an emergency, such as a sudden power outage, the main regulating valve 3 is gradually closed, the bypass regulating valve 4 is gradually opened, and the aforementioned power generation, energy storage, and power supply steps are implemented. At this time, the energy storage device supplies power to the magnetic levitation motor 1, maintaining its normal operation for a short period and preventing sudden shutdown due to loss of power supply. The power generation step also continuously consumes energy within the system to gradually reduce the working fluid flow rate, achieving a smooth decrease in the speed of the centrifugal compressor 2 and the magnetic levitation motor 1. Finally, when the main regulating valve 3 is fully closed, the operating frequency of the magnetic levitation motor 1 can be further gradually reduced until it completely stops. After the magnetic levitation motor 1 completely stops, the first circuit breaker 8, the second circuit breaker 12, and the third circuit breaker 13 are disconnected to complete the power outage shutdown procedure.

[0077] Compared to normal shutdown, during power outage shutdown, through the power generation and power supply steps, the magnetic levitation motor 1 can maintain normal operation while picking up external power supply, thereby controlling and gradually reducing its operating frequency, avoiding mechanical damage caused by sudden changes, and improving the safety of the entire system.

[0078] In some embodiments, when it is necessary to increase the output flow rate of the high-pressure working fluid, if the power generation step is still in progress, i.e., the bypass regulating valve 4 is still open, then without changing the operating frequency of the magnetic levitation motor 1, the output flow rate of the high-pressure working fluid can be increased by reducing the opening of the bypass regulating valve 4. This allows the magnetic levitation motor 1 to output high-pressure working fluid at different flow rates at a fixed operating frequency, which is beneficial for maintaining the magnetic levitation motor 1 at its optimal operating frequency. Of course, if the bypass regulating valve 4 is already closed, then the operating frequency of the magnetic levitation motor 1 needs to be further increased until the output flow rate of the high-pressure working fluid meets the requirements.

[0079] When the system needs to reduce the flow rate of the high-pressure working fluid, if the operating frequency of the magnetic levitation motor 1 is higher than its safe frequency (e.g., 425 Hz), the flow rate can be regulated by gradually reducing the operating frequency of the magnetic levitation motor 1. If the operating frequency of the magnetic levitation motor 1 has already been reduced to the safe frequency, and further reduction of the system's output high-pressure working fluid flow rate is still required, the flow rate of the high-pressure working fluid output from the main regulating valve 3 can be further reduced by gradually opening the bypass regulating valve 4. At this time, a portion of the high-pressure working fluid will pass through the bypass regulating valve 4, through the turbine 5 and the mixing buffer 14, and re-enter the centrifugal compressor 2. Furthermore, the high-pressure working fluid can also drive the generator 7 to perform work, thereby selectively achieving the aforementioned energy storage and power supply steps.

[0080] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the amount of electricity in the energy storage device is higher than 80% of its rated capacity, the first circuit breaker 8 remains open, allowing the generator 7 to directly supply power to the magnetic levitation motor 1, thus avoiding problems such as overcharging and breakdown. When the amount of electricity in the energy storage device is lower than 80% of its rated capacity, the energy storage step and the power supply step can be performed simultaneously during the power generation step, that is, a portion of the electricity is input into the energy storage device for storage, and a portion of the electricity is supplied to the magnetic levitation motor 1.
