Digital Control of Centrifugal Air Compressors
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: The air installation consists of high-capacity centrifugal compressors \nwhich pumps in parallel in an industrial pipe. The total air flow rate of \nthe compressors in the pipe can be adjusted by acting on the air \nsuction valve of each compressor so that the shut-off or opening of the \ncompressor valve can regulate the flow rate of each compressor, which \nresults in total flow control. The problem is to replace the analog \ncontrol of the compressors with a digital control. If we have two types \nof compressors in the plant, the automatic setting involves closing or \nopening the suction valve of the compressors in a certain order so that \nbesides the total objective to pump a particular flow we also have high \nenergy efficiency.
