Fluid circulation system and method for operating same, computer-readable medium, and controller
Provided are a fluid circulation system and a method for operating same, a computer-readable medium, and a controller. The fluid circulation system comprises: a scroll expander, and an external fluid circulation path, which comprises a high-pressure fluid pipe and a low-pressure fluid pipe. The operation method comprises the following steps: before fluid is supplied to the scroll expander, making the fluid pressure in the high-pressure fluid pipe higher than the fluid pressure in the low-pressure fluid pipe by a pre-determined pressure difference; and after the pre-determined pressure difference is realized, starting the scroll expander and supplying fluid to the scroll expander. According to the present disclosure, the technical problem of a scroll expander being unable to be normally started and work can be avoided, and the invention is simple, practical, convenient, and easily implemented.

A rotary compressor system includes a compressor housing that includes a compressor motor that draws in fluid from a suction side. The fluid is compressed within a compression chamber and discharged through a discharge side. The compression chamber is disposed between the suction side and the discharge side. An overload-protection switch is electrically coupled in series with the compressor motor and is adapted to cut power to the compressor motor responsive to an overload event. A solenoid valve is fluidly coupled between the compression chamber and a location upstream of the suction side and is electrically coupled in series with the overload-protection switch. An interruption of electrical current to the compressor motor also interrupts electrical current to the solenoid valve, which opens the solenoid valve to equalize pressure between the suction side and the discharge side.
