Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for the protection of a volumetric liquid-injected compressor of the type comprising a compressor element driven by a motor, a pressure conduit connected to the compressor element, a separator for injection liquid erected in this pressure conduit, an injection conduit for injecting the separated injection liquid into the compressor element, and a cooler in this injection conduit, according to which method at least the outlet temperature of the compressed gas is measured and, depending on at least this temperature and on a limit value, it is determined whether the motor has to be stopped.
- injection liquid for example, water
- This injection liquid also serves as a sealing agent between the two rotors of the compressor element.
- This liquid is discharged along with the compressed gas and separated from the gas in a separator or vessel and re-used for injection.
- the internal cooling during compression fails, and the temperature of the compressed gas, when exiting the compressor element, immediately becomes very high. Depending on the internal pressure ratio of the compressor element, this temperature can reach 250 to 300°C.
- a thermostatic valve in the injection conduit provides for that the compressor element reaches its normal temperature as soon as possible, which temperature can be set closely to the aforementioned limit value.
- the injection temperature and, consequently, also the temperature of the compressed gas at the outlet of the compressor element depend on the environmental temperature. It is, in fact, desirable to keep the temperature of the injection water as low as possible in order to approach an isothermic compression as closely as possible. This has a favourable influence onto the energy output of the compression.
- the invention in particular relates to such compressors without thermostatic regulation.
- the present invention aims at offering a solution for the above-mentioned problem and at providing a method for protecting a volumetric compressor, in which said temperature peaks are avoided.
- the volumetric water-injected compressor with, thus, water as an injection liquid substantially consists of a compressor element 1, a motor 2 driving this compressor element 1 , a pressure conduit 3 which is connected to the compressor element 1 and in which successively a vessel which is a water separator 4 and a cooler 5 are erected, and an injection conduit 6, for returning the separated water and injecting it into the compressor element 1, in which a cooler 7 is erected.
- the coolers 5 and 7 are liquid-cooled coolers with separate radiators 8 and 9, which are erected in the pressure conduit 3 and the injection conduit 6, respectively.
- the radiators 8 and 9 are connected with their inlet to a common supply conduit 10 for cooling liquid, mostly cooling water, and connected with their outlet to a common discharge conduit 11 for this cooling liquid.
- the compressor comprises a protection against excessive temperatures by means of an electronic control device 12 which controls the motor 2 and to which two temperature sensors 13 and 14 are connected.
- Temperature sensor 13 is arranged at the outlet of the compressor element 1 in the pressure conduit 3, and temperature sensor 14 is provided in the outlet 15 for the cooling water of the radiator 9 and, thus, of the cooler 7.
- the outlet temperature of the compressed gas is measured by means of temperature sensor 13, as well as the outlet temperature of the cooling water of the cooler 7 is measured by means of temperature sensor 14.
- control device 12 By the control device 12, the difference between these two temperatures is determined and compared to a put-in limit value of the temperature difference. If this limit value is reached or exceeded, then the control device 12 stops the motor 2.
- the protection level at which the motor 2 is stopped is closer to the normal value of the outlet temperature of the air, at the outlet of the compressor element, as a consequence of which the influence of a sudden temperature increase only results in a minor delay of the protection.
- the control device 12 also adds said limit value for the temperature difference to a chosen limit value of the environmental temperature. The sum thereof provides an absolute limit and, when it is reached or exceeded, the control device 12 also commands the stopping of the motor 2.
- This last-mentioned outlet temperature of the cooling water is a measure for the cooling water temperature at the inlet and of the cooling water flow rate.
- control device 12 commands to stop the motor 2.
- an. absolute limit for the outlet temperature is maintained.
- the control device 12 also stops the motor 2 when this absolute limit is reached or exceeded.
