20230033558 · 2023-02-02 · ·

A reciprocating piston air compressor includes a programmable logic controller, a tank, a motor, a pump, a variable speed drive, a head unloader and a cooling system. The programmable logic controller and/or variable speed drive are utilized to monitor the operating state of the air compressor and to control various operational variables, such as motor and pump speed. The air compressor can utilize the variable speed drive to operate a three phase motor on single-phase power.

WELL PUMP CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
20230098068 · 2023-03-30 · ·

A method for controlling a well pumping system is provided. The method includes the steps of entering a pump intake depth, a minimum fill preset, a maximum fill preset, and a gain value into a controller for the well pumping system, and determining a fluid over pump level. If the fluid over pump level is zero, the method calls for setting a target pump fill equal to the maximum fill preset. If the fluid over pump level is not zero, the method calls for calculating a fluid over pump ratio using the pump intake depth, and calculating the target pump fill using the fluid over pump ratio and the gain value. Further, the method includes calculating a pump fill error as the difference between the target pump fill and an actual pump fill. The method further includes controlling a pumping speed of the well pumping system based on the pump fill error.

Gas compressor

To prevent generation of drain reliably without depending on a difference in ambient temperature where a compressor is installed. Provided is a gas compressor: having a compressor main body compressing a gas, a drive source driving the compressor main body, a controller controlling the rotation speed of the drive source according to the discharge pressure of the compressor main body, and a temperature detector detecting the temperature of a discharge gas of the compressor main body; and performing no-load operation with the rotation speed of the drive source as a lower limit rotation speed when the discharge pressure reaches an upper limit pressure higher than a set pressure.

This application provides a powertrain, a coolant flow rate estimation method, and an electric vehicle. Coolant in a first cooling loop of the powertrain is configured to cool an inverter. An electronic pump drives the coolant to circulate in the first cooling loop. When a phase current of a motor is greater than or equal to a preset current value, a controller determines a rotation speed of the electronic pump at a first moment as a first rotation speed, and determines a coolant flow rate at the first moment based on a temperature at a first position in the first cooling loop, a temperature at a second position in the inverter, and a power loss of the inverter. In the solution of this application, data does not need to be separately calibrated for different thermal management systems. This reduces time consumed by data calibration and improves practicability.
