There are provided an operation number control device and a method for controlling the same that can level the operation times of the fluid machines, which are connected to the operation number control device. A fluid machine system comprises a plurality of fluid machines, and an operation number control device capable of individually controlling start and stop of the fluid machines. The operation number control device sets a continuous operation time for each of the fluid machines based on total operation times of the fluid machine and other fluid machines. When among fluid machines in operation, there is a fluid machine for which the continuous operation time set for the fluid machine has elapsed and there is a fluid machine at stop, the operation number control device causes the fluid machine at stop to start and causes the fluid machine to stop.

An apparatus and a method may control a compressor. The apparatus may control a motor (included in a compressor) such that the motor quickly repeats turn-on and turn-off operations in a cooling power supply time period/section, thereby enabling the compressor to compress refrigerant in the cooling power supply time period/section. Thus, cooling power of a refrigerator may change while the compressor operates with maximum efficiency.

An inflatable object with a sag to enclose pressurized air to a predetermined threshold pressure and to obtain a shape, a decorative dress to cover at least a portion of the sag and having characteristics of an object having the shape when covering the sag outer surface, couplings on the sag outer surface to which the decorative dress is attached, a frame to support at least a portion of the sag, an air pump coupled to the sag by a unidirectional inlet valve, and to provide the insufflated air to the sag, an optional sensor coupled to the sag and configured to detect sag air pressure; and a controller, coupled between the sensor and the pump. The controller operates the pump to automatically maintain a threshold pressure of air within the sag. The sensor and the controller are disposed on the sag surface.

Systems and methods for controlling operation of a well, of which the method includes receiving an operation setting for operation of a system that provides lift gas into and produces gas from the well, monitoring operation of the system using a first controller, determining, using the first controller, that the system is not operating at the operation setting, and in response to determining that the system is not operating at the operation setting, sending, using a two-way communication link from the first controller to a second controller, a control signal to the second controller. The control signal is configured to cause the second controller to modify an operation of a compressor of the system.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an air compressing apparatus capable of establishing a sufficient air-filling rate while reducing noise at the initiation of operations. To solve this problem, in the present invention, the air compressing apparatus comprises a compressor body that compresses air, a motor that drives the compressor body, an inverter that controls the rotation speed of the motor, a control circuit connected to the inverter, and a pressure sensor that detects the pressure of air compressed in the compressor body, wherein the control circuit controls operation of the compressor body by operating at a low speed activation mode that operates the compressor body at a low speed rotational frequency lower than a maximum rotational speed when the air compressing apparatus is activated, and on the basis of a pressure value detected by the pressure sensor and elapsed time from activation, switching from the low speed activation mode to a normal operating mode that operates at variable frequencies including a maximum rotational frequency.

A dual pump smart control system. The operating time and the number of simultaneous operations are analyzed and compared with a reference time and a reference number, so that a controller determines whether or not the operation is normal. Afterwards, the driving of a first pump and the driving of a second pump are differentially controlled depending on whether or not the operation is determined to be normal by the controller. Thus, a malfunction caused by the concentration of load at a specific pump is prevented. Accordingly, the dual pump smart control system precisely controls the driving of the dual pumps and enables the pumps to operate efficiently.

The present disclosure provides a device for monitoring oil pressure in an oil cylinder of a diaphragm compressor, including a piston rod and a strain gauge circuit. The strain gauge circuit includes a strain gauge component and a bridge circuit connected, and the strain gauge component is arranged on the surface of the piston rod. A strain gauge component is noninvasively arranged on the piston rod of the diaphragm compressor to measure the load of the piston rod, such that the oil pressure can be measured indirectly, and thus the oil pressure of the diaphragm compressor can be measured nondestructively. Nondestructive and noninvasive monitoring of the diaphragm compressor is safe and reliable, and can achieve accurate monitoring of the oil pressure especially in high-pressure working conditions.

Systems and methods for a compressor system are provided for selectively operating the compressor system with reduced power consumption. An output demand level of the compressor system can be monitored over time to identify a demand profile. A pressure setpoint for the compressor system can be selectively adjusted based on the demand profile, including to selectively transition between an operational pressure setpoint for an active demand profile and a reduced pressure setpoint for an inactive demand profile.

A built-in air pump comprises a housing body and a panel. The panel couples to the housing body and defines an opening. A main pump body couples to the housing body and defines a first accommodating chamber in fluid communication with the opening and with a first and a second venting port. An air replenishing pump has an air replenishing pump body that is located adjacent to the main pump body. The air replenishing pump body couples to the housing body and defines a second accommodating chamber having therein the air replenishing pump. An air passage switch, located in the first accommodating chamber, is moveable between a first and a second position. A controller is in electrical connection with the air replenishing pump and configured to activate the air replenishing pump based on a time determination. An inflatable body including the built-in air pump assembly is also disclosed herein.
