Nowadays compressors are used in almost every industry. Compressor failure can suspend production of the whole system so the importance of preventing from failures is obvious and essential. One of the most dangerous flow instabilities which is capable of destroying machine in few seconds is surge, which occurs in conditions of low mass flow rate. Greitzer model, apart from its long history, is still...
Prevention of surge phenomenon is a very active field of research in last decades. The Greitzer model is the most widely applied mathematical model describing the surge phenomenon. Two parameters that characterize the given compressing system: the Helmholtz oscillator frequency and the so-called B parameter have to be given as the input to Greitzer model. Although those parameters are easy to determine...
The surge protection may be worth millions of dollars. This is typical price of a centrifugal compressor repair combined with additional cost of nonfunctionality of an industry employing it. This threat is normally secured by application of an antisurge systems. Typically they are activated at predefined working conditions when compressor mass flow rate approaches region affected by the surge. As a result...
