Abstract

See full text

A compressor system having a centrifugal compressor, controller and an interface is disclosed. The compressor includes adjustable guide vanes and a variable geometry diffuser. The controller is in electrical communication with each of the guide vanes and diffuser so as to monitor and adjust positions thereof in accordance with a predetermined control algorithm. The control algorithm is implemented in accordance with a method of controlling the centrifugal compressor. The method adjusts the position of the diffuser based on the actual lift, guide vane position and predetermined relationships between diffuser position and reference lift.
