摘要： In a natural gas liquefaction system having a refrigerant storage circuit, a refrigerant circulation circuit in fluid communication with the refrigerant storage circuit, and a natural gas liquefaction circuit in thermal communication with the refrigerant circulation circuit, a method for liquefaction of natural gas in which pressure in the refrigerant circulation circuit is adjusted to below about 175 psig by exchange of refrigerant with the refrigerant storage circuit. A variable speed motor is started whereby operation of a compressor is initiated. The compressor is operated at full discharge capacity. Operation of an expansion valve is initiated whereby suction pressure at the suction pressure port of the compressor is maintained below about 30 psig and discharge pressure at the discharge pressure port of the compressor is maintained below about 350 psig. Refrigerant vapor is introduced from the refrigerant holding tank into the refrigerant circulation circuit until the suction pressure is reduced to below about 15 psig, after which flow of the refrigerant vapor from the refrigerant holding tank is terminated. Natural gas is then introduced into a natural gas liquefier, resulting in liquefaction of the natural gas.

摘要： A method and apparatus for dispensing natural gas into the natural gas vehicle cylinder of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The natural gas dispensing system includes a pressure transducer and a temperature transducer for measuring the pressure and temperature, respectively, of the supply gas as it is passed toward a dispenser, a second pressure transducer for measuring the pressure within the natural gas vehicle cylinder, an ambient air temperature transducer for measuring ambient air temperatures at the dispensing site, and a mass flow meter for measuring the gas mass injected into the vehicle cylinder. Each transducer and the mass flow meter emits a data signal to a control processor which automatically dispenses compressed gas to the vehicle cylinder, as well as maximizing the amount of gas mass injected into the cylinder. The control processor maximizes the mass of compressed gas injected into the vehicle cylinder by injecting a first mass of compressed gas into the cylinder and calculating a first volume estimate in response thereto, estimating a second mass of compressed gas required to fill the cylinder to a first predetermined fill state, and then estimating a third mass of compressed gas required to fill a reference gas cylinder to the first predetermined fill state in response thereto. Thereafter, the second mass of compressed gas is injected into the cylinder, the gas mass being injected into the cylinder from the initial state being measured, as well as the pressure of the compressed gas within the container resulting from the injection of the second gas mass being measured, whereupon the control processor estimates a second volume of the gas container in response thereto. Thereafter, the control process may be used to either perform a final fill step to complete the gas mass injection into the cylinder, or may perform a second intermediate fill step prior to the final fill step for greater accuracy in determining tank volume during the fill process.

摘要： The control system disclosed herein regulates a centrifugal compressor which has inlet guide vanes adjustable to vary the compressor capacity. A variable speed motor is connected to drive the compressor, and variation of this motor speed provides another input for regulating the compressor capacity. A control system achieves optimum energy efficiency, while avoiding surge, by the manner in which the motor speed and the inlet guide vane positions are regulated. To do this, a control signal must be derived to indicate the compressor head value. This signal is achieved by providing two signals, one related to the absolute condenser pressure, and the second related to the absolute evaporator pressure. The control system operates on these two signals to provide a third signal which is a function of a ratio, in which the numerator is the difference between the condenser and evaporator pressures, and the denominator is the evaporator pressure. Alternative measurement and processing techniques are described. This signal affords a very good indication of the compressor head and thus achieves increased efficiency of system operation, with consequent energy conservation, especially at lighter loads and low heads.

摘要： A capacity control system for a refrigeration system including a compressor, a condensor, and an evaporator, all connected in a closed refrigeration circuit is provided. The compressor includes a plurality of adjustable inlet guide vanes, a motor connected to regulate the inlet guide vanes position, and an electrical speed motor connected to drive the compressor. The capacity control system includes a microprocessor responsive to continual measurements of a PRV signal, a compressor head signal and a suction flow signal for calculating a current operating point. The microprocessor determines whether the operating point is sufficiently away from a surge surface. The microprocessor will cause the operating point to move to a new operating point of a lower compressor speed and a more open PRV position if the operating point is sufficiently away from surge. In order to accomplish this, the microprocessor generates control signals to adjust both the speed of the compressor drive motor and the position of the inlet guide vanes. In an alternate embodiment, the microprocessor is responsive to continual measurements of a PRV signal, a motor speed signal, and a suction flow signal for generating such control signals.

摘要： An adjustable surge and capacity control system for matching a capacity control system to an inverter-driven centrifugal compressor based liquid chiller having unknown surge characteristics. The necessary adaptation of the capacity control circuit to a particular chiller is attained by the provision of two potentiometers which are adjustable to develop a function which avoids surge and operates the system in an efficient manner at all feasible operating point loads and heads. The use of a circuit employing a pair of potentiometers permits the formation of the appropriate function with two degrees of shaping flexibility.

摘要： A thermostatic expansion device for use in refrigeration systems includes a valve member adapted to control the flow of liquid refrigerant from a condenser to an evaporator of the refrigeration system. A pressure-responsive device is operatively connected to the valve member for responding to a differential pressure in the refrigeration system so as to open and close the valve member. A temperature-responsive device is operatively connected to the pressure-responsive device for responding to a temperature of the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporator. A lead-lag compensation structure is connected to the pressure-responsive device for permitting a rapid movement of the valve member upon the occurrence of a sudden change either in the temperature of the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporator or in the pressure at the inlet of the evaporator thereby maintaining a constant superheat at the outlet of the evaporator so as to effect stability of the refrigeration system.
