[0028] The test instrument 3 includes an atmospheric temperature and humidity meter 31, an atmospheric pressure gauge 32, an orifice differential pressure gauge 33, an intake pressure gauge 34, an intake temperature gauge 35, an exhaust pressure gauge 36, an exhaust temperature gauge 37, an oil pressure gauge 38, and an oil temperature gauge 39.

[0030] The test device 2 includes an orifice 21, a first intake pipe 22, a second intake pipe 28, an intake pressure regulating valve 23, an intake muffler 24, a first exhaust pipe 25, a second exhaust pipe 29, an exhaust muffler 26, an exhaust pressure regulating valve 27.

The flange plates are fixedly connected by bolts. A flange gasket is provided between the flange plates. In order to connect and fix different test devices 2 and facilitate adjustment, at least one movable flange must be included in each pair of connected flanges. The intake pipe and the exhaust pipe should each have multiple pipe segments and also include elbows considering the on-site layout.
[0031] The test instruments 3 are all connected to the PLC. The atmospheric temperature and humidity meter 31, the intake air temperature meter 35, the exhaust air temperature meter 37, and the oil temperature meter 39 all have communication functions and are connected to the RS485 serial port. The communication method can adopt free format communication. If the motor 4545 also uses RS-485 communication, the same port parameters are configured and different communication addresses are set.

The PLC 42 is provided with an analog quantity expansion module to provide sufficient analog quantity output channels. The PLC is provided with an analog quantity expansion module.
[0032] The test systems are connected through cable lines and data lines. To ensure that the signals are not interfered, the cable lines of the test instruments 3 all use shielded wires. To improve the power factor on the input side of the frequency converter and suppress the high-order harmonic current, the test system should be equipped with an input reactor. To suppress the electromagnetic interference transmitted from the frequency converter to the public power grid through the input power line, the test system should be equipped with an input filter. To suppress the interference generated at the wiring point on the output side of the frequency converter, the test system should be equipped with an output filter. To extend the effective transmission distance of the frequency converter and suppress the instantaneous high voltage generated by the frequency converter, the test system should be equipped with an output reactor. The above are non-essential measures added to optimize the test system and can be adjusted by considering costs during actual application.
[0033] The test system should be equipped with components such as a circuit breaker, an emergency stop switch, and an indicator light. For the power supply of multiple electrical devices, the test system should be equipped with a transformer. The test system should be provided with an alarm. When the value of the test instrument 3 exceeds the set value, it should alarm and stop immediately. The above are essential measures added to ensure the safety and use of the test system and cannot be adjusted by considering costs during actual application.
[0034] The compressor performance test system reads the parameter values of the atmospheric temperature and humidity meter 31, the atmospheric pressure gauge 32, the orifice differential pressure gauge 33, the intake air pressure gauge 34, and the intake air temperature meter 35 for calculating the mass flow rate and the volume flow rate. If it is factory inspection, when the requirement for the flow test accuracy is not high, the mass flow rate and the volume flow rate are calculated according to the calculation method provided by GB / T 2624.2. When the requirement for the flow test accuracy is relatively high, the measured mass flow rate and volume flow rate should be added with a correction factor to remove the error influence caused by the change in the device structure.
[0035] The compressor performance test system reads the output voltage value, output current value, and power percentage value of the frequency converter to calculate the shaft power. The shaft power of the compressor body 1 can be obtained from the output voltage value, output current value, motor 45 efficiency, and power factor, or from the power percentage and rated power. The compressor performance test system reads the motor 45 speed of the frequency converter to calculate the volumetric efficiency. By confirming the speed ratio, the speed of the compressor body 1 is calculated, and then the volumetric efficiency can be obtained from the theoretical flow rate per revolution and the volume flow rate.
[0036] The parameters of the ambient temperature and humidity meter 31, intake temperature meter 35, exhaust temperature meter 37, and oil temperature meter 39 are directly read by the PLC. The analog parameters of the atmospheric pressure gauge 32, orifice differential pressure gauge 33, intake pressure gauge 34, exhaust pressure gauge 36, and oil pressure gauge 38 are converted into digital parameters by the PLC. Parameters such as mass flow rate, density, volume flow rate, shaft power, volumetric efficiency, and specific power are calculated through the calculation formula program written into the PLC. All the above parameters are displayed on the host computer and the human-machine interface.
[0037] The specific implementation method of the compressor performance test system is as follows: After confirming the compressor body, confirm that the motor 45 rotates in the correct direction. Install the test device 2 in sequence, connect and fix it with bolts, then install the test instrument 3, check the connection, check the test device 2 and the test instrument 3. After confirming that everything is correct, add lubricating oil to the compressor body and perform a turning inspection. Then turn on the test system, operate on the host computer or the human-machine interface, select the compressor body model and orifice plate 21. After confirming that the transmission mode, speed ratio and other parameters are correct, first perform a short-term trial operation. After everything is normal, perform a startup test. During the startup test, first adjust the motor 45 parameters. The frequency of the frequency converter is slowly adjusted from low frequency to the specified frequency, then adjust the exhaust pressure regulating valve 27, and adjust the exhaust pressure from low pressure to the specified pressure. Read the real-time flow rate, shaft power and other parameter information on the human-machine interface. After monitoring that the compressor body runs normally for a long time, stop the machine and turn the compressor by hand. The compressor performance test is completed.
[0038] The compressor performance test system reads the motor 45 speed of the frequency converter to calculate the volumetric efficiency.
[0039] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
