ABSTRACT:
A control apparatus for antisurge protection of a dynamic compressor including a junction of a closed antisurge loop with a surge limit computing module and a two mode controller with a relay backup system with deviation alarms is characterized in operation in that during a slow disturbance, the two mode controller provides modulated antisurge protection by opening a relief valve, if the operating point of the compressor crosses the surge control line and during a dangerously fast disturbance, the relay backup system provides antisurge protection if a preestablished deviation of the operating point from the surge control line appears. A relay backup system opens the relief valve very quickly. When the relief valve is so opened, the process of the user of fluid from the compressor is compensated by increasing the performance of the compressor to maintain pressure or flow rate. Then the relay system closes the relief valve with a relatively slow speed, which prevents a dangerous deviation of the operating point from the surge control line. In time, the surge limit line may change so that the surge control line is no longer correctly placed. If under such circumstances surge appears, then the backup relay system opens the relief valve very fast, closes it with a relatively slow speed and changes the position of surge control line.
