    Abstract: An improved system and methodology for starting up a gas-turbine driven multi-stage compressor. The improvement involves isolating individual compression stages and creating positive pressure in each stage prior to initiating rotation of the compressor/driver system. The isolation of individual compression stages allows the turbine to reach normal operating speeds with substantially no supplemental power from an auxiliary source.

    Abstract: A method and associated system for regulation of the cooling capacity of a cooling system that uses a gas expansion cooling circuit where the cooling principle is expansion of one or more gaseous cooling medium streams from a higher pressure to a lower pressure are described, characterised by the following steps: —reducing the amount of cooling medium which is circulated in the cooling circuit (100) temporarily in that a fraction of gaseous cooling medium is pre-cooled at a higher pressure and is extracted from the cooling circuit (100), —expanding the fraction of cooled gaseous cooling medium across an expansion device (102) to a lower pressure so that at least one part of liquid cooling medium separates, —separating the liquid from the non-condensed gas for temporary storage in a storage unit (104) so that the liquid is temporarily not circulated in the otherwise closed cooling circuit (100), —thereafter to return temporarily stored gaseous cooling medium from the storage unit (104) to the cooling circuit (100) according to need, and—returning non-condensed gas and evaporated cooling medium from the storage unit (104) to a suitable location in the cooling circuit (100).

    Abstract: An anti-bogdown control system monitors and regulates operation of a turbine and a compressor to prevent underspeed trip of the turbine while avoiding surge of the compressor. A turbine speed controller receives a turbine speed signal and a turbine temperature signal, generates a surge margin setpoint, and regulates overfiring of the turbine. A surge margin controller associated with the compressor receives the surge margin setpoint from the turbine speed controller and receives a load signal from one or more sensors and modulates a compressor throttle valve so that the compressor operates at a surge margin that is approximately equal to the surge margin setpoint. In a system with multiple compressors driven by a single turbine, a surge margin controller is associated with each compressor.

    Abstract: A refrigerant stream is passed through at least one heat exchanger to provide a first at least partially evaporated stream and a second at least partially evaporated stream. A first compressor feed stream is provided from the first partially evaporated stream, and a second compressor feed stream is provided from the second partially evaporated stream. The first compressor feed stream is passed through a first refrigerant compressor and the second compressor feed stream through a second compressor, to provide first and second compressed streams, which are combined at a common pressure. The first refrigerant compressor is controlled by heating the second at least partially evaporated stream or the second compressor feed stream, or vice versa.

    Abstract: A drive system for a refrigeration compressor such as is used in a natural gas liquefaction plant, allowing the desired compressor speed and maximum turbine efficiency to be maintained throughout varying ambient temperature conditions. A gas turbine is used with an electric starter motor with drive-through capability located on a common drive shaft between the turbine and the compressor. A variable frequency drive (VFD) is connected between the electrical power grid and the electric motor for smooth startups, but also to allow excess turbine mechanical power to be converted to electrical power by the motor operating as a generator, and delivered to the grid at the grid frequency. Pulse width modulation technology may be used to reduce harmonic distortion in the VFD's output. The starter motor also functions as a helper motor when the turbine output is insufficient to drive the compressor at the rotational speed needed to meet throughput requirements.
