VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE WITH SECONDARY WINDINGS
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a refrigeration system that includes a compressor configured to circulate refrigerant along a refrigerant loop, a motor configured to drive the compressor, and a variable speed drive coupled to the motor and configured to supply power to the motor. The variable speed drive includes a primary winding of a step down transformer coupled to an alternating current (AC) power source, a first secondary winding of the step down transformer, where the first secondary winding is configured to supply power at a variable supplied voltage to the motor when the motor operates below a threshold voltage, and a second secondary winding of the step down transformer, where the second secondary winding is configured to supply power at a fixed supplied voltage when the motor operates at or above the threshold voltage.
Oil lubricated compressor
An oil lubricated compressor having a universal motor, efficient starting and re-starting characteristics, and a long operating life. The oil lubricated compressor can have a brushed or brushless universal motor which can drive a cooling fan and a pump. The universal motor can achieve a high torque to voltage ratio, as well as a high torque to current ratio, upon starting or re-starting of the compressor. Optionally, the oil lubricated compressor can use a single cooling fan disposed in the compressor at a location which is between the universal motor and a cylinder head of the pump.
Control Method of Compressor and Refrigerant Circulation System
The present disclosure provides a control method of a compressor and a refrigerant circulation system. The control method includes deciding whether a current working volume state of the compressor is matched with a control instruction after the compressor completes a change to a working volume according to the control instruction, determining that the compressor operates normally in a case where the current working volume state of the compressor is matched with the control instruction, and determining that the compressor operates in fault in a case where the current working volume state of the compressor is not matched with the control instruction.
Pump system, fluid supply device and method for controlling drive of pump system
A pump system contains a vibration actuator which can be electromagnetically driven by applying an alternating-current voltage E thereto, a sealed chamber connected to a suction port and a discharge port, and a movable wall for changing a volume of the sealed chamber. The movable wall is displaced due to drive of the vibration actuator to supply fluid in the sealed chamber into a target object. The pump system controls an effective value of the alternating-current voltage E so that an amplitude Y of the vibration actuator is constant.
Method and apparatus for high frequency common mode (L-G) phenomena and associated affect on ESP and mechnical run life
A common mode line-to-ground filter is disclosed which includes but is not limited to a resistor, capacitor and a ground. The common mode line to ground filter is connected on a high side of a step-up transformer. A low side of the step-up transformer is connected to a variable frequency drive that provides a semi-sinusoidal voltage waveform. The common mode line to ground filter generates a filtered sinusoidal waveform from the output of the step-up transformer. The filtered sinusoidal voltage waveform is supplied via an electrical cable to an electrically submersible pump deployed downhole.

System and Method for Managing Transient Power Disruptions on ESP Motor Drives
A system for the resilience of an electric submersible pumping system to a transient power interruption includes a power backup connected to the variable speed drive of the pumping system. A method for controlling the electric submersible pump during the transient power interruption includes connecting a variable speed drive to a power source, charging one or more rechargeable batteries within the power backup, and connecting the power backup to the variable speed drive. The method continues with the steps of operating the motor with the variable speed drive, detecting a disruption in AC power from the power source to the variable speed drive, and applying power from the power backup to the variable speed drive to operate the motor during the transient interruption in electrical power.
