A multi-stage compressor system is a system of a multi-stage compressor in which compressors are connected in series in a plurality of stages includes a control unit. The control unit determines whether a malfunction is present in the system by comparing a suction flow rate of a first-stage compressor measured by a first sensor with a downstream flow rate from an outlet of the multi-stage compressor measured by a second sensor.

Multi-stage compressor system, control device, malfunction determination method, and program

A multi-stage compression system in which gases compressed by a pair of first-stage compressors are compressed by subsequent compressors connected to the first-stage compressors in series includes a valve control unit configured to output open/close signals for opening/closing valves for adjusting flow rates of gases flowing into the first-stage compressors provided at inlet sides of the first-stage compressors. The valve control unit outputs an open/close signal having a difference less than or equal to a predetermined value with respect to a degree of opening of the valve before malfunction determination as the open/close signal until a malfunction is eliminated after the determination of the malfunction in which one of the valves does not have a degree of opening according to the open/close signal.

Multi-stage compression system, control device, control method, and program

A compressor control device includes an inlet guide vane opening degree control unit configured to control an opening degree of an inlet guide vane. The inlet guide vane opening degree control unit includes an inlet guide vane opening degree command value calculation unit configured to calculate an inlet guide vane opening degree command value based on an outlet pressure detection value and a plurality of inlet guide vane opening degree correction units each configured to correct the inlet guide vane opening degree command value based on the post-merger pressure detection value and a corresponding inlet flow rate detection value for each of a plurality of upstream-most compressor bodies.
