Abstract:
An apparatus for monitoring a compressor includes a plurality of sensor inputs for receiving input regarding operating parameters of a compressor, at least one control action output for sending a control action to the compressor; and a control member communicated with the plurality of sensor inputs and the control action output, the control member being adapted to analyze input from the plurality of sensor inputs, to determine a control action based upon the input and to send the control action to the at least one control action output.
Abstract:
In a steam turbine driven pump installation, the steam flow to the turbine is controlled by a combined stop and throttle valve which includes a power operated actuator so as to vary the output of the pump, and a speed feed-back control is provided for the turbine comprising an indicator issuing a signal corresponding to the turbine speed, and a comparator comparing the speed signal with a desired value and delivering a control signal based on the comparison to a servo-device of the valve actuator for adjustment of the valve whereby turbine speed may be maintained constant. Additionally the installation includes an emergency control respondent to operating conditions in the installation e.g. turbine overspeed, oil pressure etc., the emergency control including a switch in the power supply to the valve actuator whereby in the event of the operating condition being unsatisfactory the switch is opened to close the steam valve.
