Compressor floodback protection system
A climate-control system may include a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a first sensor, a second sensor, a third sensor, and a control module. The compressor may include a motor and a compression mechanism. The condenser receives compressed working fluid from the compressor. The evaporator is in fluid communication with the compressor and disposed downstream of the condenser and upstream of the compressor. The first sensor may detect an electrical operating parameter of the motor. The second sensor may detect a discharge temperature of working fluid discharged by the compression mechanism. The third sensor may detect a suction temperature of working fluid between the evaporator and the compression mechanism. The control module is in communication with the first, second and third sensors and may determine whether a refrigerant floodback condition is occurring in the compressor based on data received from the first, second and third sensors.
VACUUM SYSTEM HAVING CONDENSER AND ROOT VACUUM PUMP SET
A vacuum system having a condenser and a root vacuum pump set includes an independent inlet condenser set having an inlet end for receiving vapor inputted from an output of an air cooling power generator condenser of a generator; air in the vapor being condensed, and the surplus air is outputted; a root vacuum pump set including at least one root vacuum pump; the root vacuum pump set further including an input end and an output end; the input end being connected to the independent inlet condenser set; air outputted from the independent inlet condenser set being inputted to the at least one root vacuum pump for compression and then the compressed air being outputted from the output end; and a backing pump connected to the output end of the root vacuum pump set by using an output pipe; the backing pump serving to receive air outputted from the root vacuum pump set.
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. When detecting that the temperature detected by the temperature detector is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature during the no-load operation, the controller causes the lower limit rotation speed of the drive source to a lower limit rotation speed at which the temperature of the discharge gas is higher than the predetermined temperature and which is higher than a lower limit rotation speed when the detected temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature.
Mud motor control using eccentricity measurement
A method, system, and computer-readable medium related to control of mud motors in drilling systems, of which the method includes measuring an eccentricity of rotation of a rotor in a stator of a mud motor using a rotor-position sensor, determining a torque of the mud motor based in part on the eccentricity, and selecting a fluid flow rate, a pressure, or both of fluid delivered downhole, through the mud motor, based in part on the determined torque.
LIQUID PUMP DEVICE
A liquid pump device sucking and discharging liquid includes: a pump unit 50, rotating to make the liquid flow; a housing H, accommodating the pump unit and defining a passage 14 of the liquid; and a temperature sensor 80 having a tip region 80a protruded in the passage 14 of the liquid to measure a temperature of the liquid flowing on the passage 14.

A plurality of scroll compressors with different fixed volume indexes are connected in fluid parallel circuit and configured to selectively operate to maximize isentropic efficiency at different condensing temperatures. Different quantities of scroll compressors of different volume indexes may be selected based upon typical climate or geographic location environmental conditions to attempt to maximize efficiency. A controller may selectively operate different combinations of the compressors of different volume indexes bases up load demands and condensing temperature conditions, which may be determined in a variety of ways.

An electric compressor includes an electric motor, and a motor controller configured to drive the electric motor. The motor controller includes a high voltage circuit board on which switching elements are mounted, a low voltage circuit board on which a control circuit controlling switching operation of the switching elements is mounted, an input connector, an output connector, and a current sensor. The high voltage circuit board and the low voltage circuit board are stacked with each other. The output connector is integrated with a detection busbar that provides electrical connection between the high voltage circuit board and the low voltage circuit board, and through which detection signals indicative of the output current are output to the control circuit.
Scroll compressor
A scroll compressor includes an oil circulation pipe having one end inserted through a casing to be connected to an oil storage space inside the casing and another end connected to a suction passage for supplying refrigerant from outside of the casing to a compression chamber, an oil circulation valve disposed between the both ends of the oil circulation pipe to selectively open or close the oil circulation pipe, and a controller to control an opening or closing operation of the oil circulation pipe to reduce or eliminate frictional loss due to a shortage of oil by adjusting an oil level of the oil storage space at an initial operation.
