Abstract: In order to reduce the effect on a compressor caused by foaming in an oil tank, a control unit for controlling an oil pump starts the oil pump before a compressor is started (SA1), starts the compressor (SA4) when an oil supply differential pressure P satisfies a compressor startup condition during a reference time Tas from the starting of the oil pump (“Yes” in SA3), and extends the operation of the oil pump for a prescribed time without starting the compressor (Step SA5) when the compressor startup condition is not satisfied (“No” in SA3).

Abstract: In order to reduce the effect of foaming occurring in an oil tank on a compressor, an oil pump control unit (50) is applied to a turbo refrigerator comprising an oil tank that stores lubrication oil supplied to a compressor and a variable-speed oil pump that supplies the lubricating oil in the oil tank to the compressor. The oil pump control unit (50) comprises: an intake refrigerant gas amount calculation unit (52) for calculating the amount of refrigerant gas drawn into the oil pump, as an intake refrigerant gas amount; a supplied lubricating oil amount calculation unit (53) for using the intake refrigerant gas amount and a required lubricating oil amount, which is an amount of lubricating oil required by the compressor, to calculate a supplied lubricating oil amount; and a command value generation unit (54) for generating a rotation speed command value for the oil pump on the basis of the supplied lubricating oil amount.

Abstract: The present invention is provided with: a turbo compressor that compresses a refrigerant; a condenser that condenses the refrigerant compressed by the turbo compressor; an expansion valve that expands a liquid refrigerant introduced from the condenser; an evaporator that evaporates the refrigerant expanded by the expansion valve; an oil tank that stores a lubricating oil supplied to the turbo compressor; a pressure equalizing pipe that connects the oil tank and the evaporator; and a control unit that controls start-up. The control unit calculates the amount of a refrigerant eluded into the lubricating oil in the oil tank at the time of start-up, and reduces a pressure reduction speed in the oil tank by limiting the opening operation of an IGV when the refrigerant elution amount per prescribed time exceeds a prescribed value.
