PUMP SYSTEM INCLUDING A CONTROLLER
A method of controlling a liquid ring pump in a pump system includes monitoring a vacuum pressure of the liquid ring pump using a pressure transmitter configured to transmit a vacuum pressure signal to a controller in operative communication with the liquid ring pump. The method also includes maintaining a predetermined vacuum pressure in the liquid ring pump under variable vacuum flow demand within the pump system in response to the vacuum pressure signal by controlling, via instructions from the controller, a parameter of the liquid ring pump based on a comparison of the vacuum pressure signal to the predetermined vacuum pressure by the controller.
COMPRESSOR AND HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM
Disclosed is a compressor, including a crankshaft (10), and a first cylinder (20), a second cylinder (30) and a third cylinder (40) arranged sequentially in an axial direction of the crankshaft (10). The first cylinder (20) is a high-pressure cylinder, and the second cylinder (30) and the third cylinder (40) are low-pressure cylinders. The compressor also comprises a capacity variation switching mechanism (50) for controlling loading and unloading of the third cylinder (40). The compressor has a full operation mode and a partial operation mode. By means of the capacity variation switching mechanism (50) provided in the compressor, at least one cylinder is allowed to be put into use or unloaded under the action of the capacity variation switching mechanism (50), thus enabling a capacity variation switching function of the compressor to meet operational requirements of different operating conditions.
