    摘要: A coolant system includes a multistage compressor having a plurality of surge detection sensors. A condenser is connected to an outlet of the multistage compressor. An economizer is connected to an outlet of the condenser and has a gaseous coolant outlet and a liquid coolant outlet. The liquid coolant outlet is connected to a cooler and the gaseous coolant outlet is connected to a second or later stage of the multistage compressor via a controllable valve. A controller is communicatively coupled to the surge detection sensors and the controllable valve. The controller includes a non-transitory medium storing instructions for causing the controller to detect an occurrence of a surge and restricting a flow through the controllable valve until the surge has ceased.

    摘要: The present invention provides a silencer, including: a silencer housing having an annular plate-like structure, with an annular mounting chamber formed therein; a silencing pad disposed in the mounting chamber; and a positioning portion disposed on the silencer housing and used for fastening the silencer housing. The silencer according to the embodiment of the present invention has an integrated structure, and can desirably avoid the problem of mounting unflatness in a separated structure. Moreover, the silencing pad therein is disposed to surround the entire silencer, which can provide a sound absorption and noise reduction effect more efficiently.

    摘要: A method of operating a heat exchanger system in which a compressor, which is drivable by a motor, is fluidly interposed between an evaporator and a condenser following receipt of a shutdown command is provided. The method includes positioning inlet guide vanes (IGVs) of the compressor in a first position in the event of at least one of a first precondition being in effect and the first and a second precondition both not being in effect. The method further includes positioning the IGVs in a second position in an event the first precondition is not in effect but the second precondition is in effect, ramping a speed of the compressor down until a third precondition takes effect, removing power from the motor and positioning the IGVs in the first position once power is removed from the motor.

    摘要: A centrifugal compressor impeller (60; 160) has a hub (62; 162) having a gaspath surface (64; 164) extending from a leading end to a trailing end. A plurality of blades (70A, 70B; 170) extend from the hub gaspath surface and each have: a leading edge (72A, 72B; 172); a trailing edge (74A, 74B; 174); a first face (80A, 80B; 180); a second face (82A, 82B; 182); and a tip (78A, 78B; 178). A plurality of flow splitter segments (120, 122; 320, 322) extend between associated twos of the blades and each spaced from both the hub gaspath surface and the tips of the associated two blades.

    摘要: A ported shroud (60) for use in a compressor includes a body having a first end (42) and a second opposite end (46). The body is disposed concentrically about an axial passageway (50) and includes an inlet (40) for receiving a fluid flow formed adjacent the first end (42) and an outlet port (70) for discharging the fluid flow formed adjacent the second end (46). A toroidal volute (74) is disposed within the interior of the body and fluidly couples the inlet and the outlet.
