1 Refrigeration Systems In the hydrocarbon processing industry, refrigeration systems are widely used to achieve various process objectives. One objective is to promote the separation of cryogenic gases such as ethane and ethylene. Another application is to condense a gas in order to make it easier to transport. Most refrigeration systems have a few thing in common: a condenser, a compressor and evaporators. To improve the thermodynamic efficiency of the refrigeration process, the cooling is done is steps with multiple evaporators. Each of the evaporators operates at a different pressure, which requires a special compressor. 1 Refrigeration Compressors A common characteristic of refrigeration compressors is they usually have only one discharge nozzle, but several suction nozzles (see figure 1). In the industry, the first suction nozzle is called the suction and the others are called sidestream nozzles. The various suction nozzles admit gas into their respective stages at different pressures. The sidestream nozzle of the second stage is at the same pressure as the discharge of the first stage. The gas that enters the first impeller of the second stage is a mixture of the discharge gas from the first stage and the stage 2 sidestream flow. The final stage discharge is piped to a condenser where heat is removed to cause the gas to change phase to a liquid. The liquid flows to a holding vessel called the accumulator. The discharge pressure of the compressor is a function of the temperature of the condenser cooling medium. The higher the cooling temperature, the high the pressure at which the gas will condense. The liquid in the accumulator is at approximately the same pressure as the compressor discharge and warm (slightly warmer than the condenser cooling medium). The different chillers shown in figure 1 allow the process to cool the product (whatever the refrigerant is supposed to be cooling) in steps. This is more efficient than just attempting to cool everything in one, low-temperature exchanger. The temperature of the refrigerant in each chiller is at the saturation temperature of the refrigerant at the pressure in the chiller. Since the pressure in the chillers is successively higher, the temperatures in each chiller are also successively higher. If a single product stream is to be cooled, it will enter the HP chiller first, which will cool it down to a temperature that is near the refrigerant temperature in the HP chiller. After leaving the HP chiller, the product will enter the MP chiller, then finally the LP chiller. 1 of 1 Refrigeration Compressors
2 3 2 1 Accumulator HP Chiller Recycle Valve MP Chiller LP Chiller Liquid Quench Valve Figure 1 Typical Refrigeration System Schematic As the warm product passes through the tubes, heat passes from the warmer product into the cooler refrigerant. This cools the product, but in the process, causes some of the refrigerant to boil off. The vapors formed by this cooling are drawn away from the chiller by the respective suction of the compressor. A liquid level controller maintains the liquid level by admitting liquid refrigerant from the accumulator for the HP chiller, from the HP chiller for the MP chiller and from the MP chiller for the LP chiller. 2 of 2 Refrigeration Compressors
3 2 Control Issues 2.1 Process Control The most important process parameter in refrigeration systems is usually the refrigerant temperature in the LP Chiller. Since the liquid in the chiller is saturated, the temperature is a function of the vapor pressure. Most refrigeration systems only attempt to control the pressure of the low pressure chiller, allowing the other sidestream pressures to just float based on the process load. For variable speed applications (turbines), the suction pressure is regulated by adjusting the speed. For fixed speed applications, the pressure of the LP chiller is controlled by modulating a control valve that is located in the vapor line between the chiller and the compressor suction nozzle. 2.2 Anti-surge control The minimum flow protection for the compressor is provided by circulating vapor (through a control valve) from the hot discharge, back to the suction of the compressor (or the sidestreams, if required by the compressor). Since the recycle gas is hot, it must be cooled in order to prevent overheating the compressor. One technique is to sparge the hot vapors into a liquid level in the suction drum. This is simple and reliable. The more common method for cooling the recycle is to spray liquid into the recycle stream. As the liquid flashes into the vapor, it absorbs the heat of compression from the recycle stream. The flow rate of the quench liquid is controlled by a temperature controller in the suction stream. Anti-surge control schemes all relate the surge line to the suction flow of each compressor section. The side-stream type of refrigeration compressor usually has a flow meter on the suction stream and on each side-stream. The flows into the sections that are fed by a sidestream require a special algorithm to calculate the total flow to that stage. Since the flow used by a surge controller is volumetric, the algorithm must calculate the discharge temperature of the previous stage and do a mass weighted temperature calculation for the mixed temperature of the gas entering the stages with sides-treams. 3 of 3 Refrigeration Compressors
4 Figure 2 Pressure-Enthalpy diagram for typical refrigerant 2.3 Compensated Recycle Temperature Controller For single component refrigeration compressors utilizing a liquid quench, Triconex offers a variable temperature controller setpoint that changes with the refrigerant pressure. These systems take hot discharge gas through a recycle control valve back to the suction and side streams to satisfy the minimum volume flow demands of the compressor sections. A liquid quench line provides cooling for this gas in order to maintain the suction temperature (and pressure). Figure 1 is a schematic of a typical system. The liquid quench flows are regulated by a temperature controller referencing the compressor suction or sidestream temperature. As long as the gas pressure remains within a narrow range, the controller will provide adequate temperature regulation. When the gas pressure rises to the point that the temperature controller setpoint is less than the saturation temperature (at that pressure), the controller will open the quench valve fully, even though that amount of liquid is not required for controlling the gas temperature. This situation can result in excessive liquid refrigerant consumption, high suction drum liquid levels and liquid carry-over into the compressor. Figure 2 shows a typical pressure-enthalpy diagram for a single component refrigerant. Point A is the intersection of the gas pressure (P1) and the temperature controller setpoint temperature 4 of 4 Refrigeration Compressors
5 line. If the pressure rises to P2, the intersection of P2 and the temperature controller setpoint is Point B, which is in the sub-cooled liquid section of the diagram. Since this vapor temperature cannot be achieved, the controller will open the valve fully. Also shown on Figure 2 is a line in the superheat region that parallels the saturated vapor line. This line represents the Compensated Recycle Temperature Controller setpoint. Instead of using a fixed temperature for the controller setpoint, the equations of state of the refrigerant are used to calculate the saturation temperature at the gas pressure. The setpoint of the controller is the saturation temperature plus an incremental amount of superheat. 2.4 Quench Valve Kick Temperature controllers react slowly. If the recycle quench controllers don t start opening as soon as the recycle gas starts to circulate due to a surge controller action, the temperature of the gas entering the compressor can swing considerably before the system stabilizes. If the suction gas gets too hot, the compressor will have trouble meeting the pressure ratio requirements. This can lead to a death spiral that takes the compressor off line. If the quench controls are included with the compressor controls (instead of in the DCS), the TSx can make a feed-forward action that starts the quench flow as soon as the recycle valve opens, keeping the suction gas cool and keeping the compressor out of trouble. 5 of 5 Refrigeration Compressors
