Themainreasonforthesurgephenomenonofcentrifugalrefrigerationcompressorsisthatthecondensingpressureistoohighorthesuctionpressureistoolow,sokeepingthecondensingpressureandevaporationpressurestableduringoperationcanpreventtheoccurrenceofsurge.However,whenthecompressorrefrigerationcapacityisadjusted,itsloadistoosmall,themachinewillalsoproducesurge,whichrequiresprotectiveanti-surgeregulation.Bypassregulationisameasuretocountersurge.Whentherefrigerationcapacityofthecompressorisrequiredtobereducedbelowthesurgepoint,apartofthegaseousrefrigerantisdrawnfromthecompressoroutletanddirectlyflowstothecompressorsuctiontubewithoutcondensation,sothattherefrigerantflowthroughtheevaporatorcanbereducedtoreducetherefrigerationcapacityoftherefrigerationsystem,andthecompressorexhaustvolumeisnottoosmall,soastopreventthesurgefromtakingplace.

3,thefactorsaffectingthecoolingcapacityofcentrifugalcompressor

Whenthecentrifugalcompressorisrunningintheworkingrange(betweenSandE),thesmallertheexhaustvolume,thehighertheeffectiveenergyhead.Becausethedifferencebetweenthecondensingtemperatureandtheevaporationtemperatureislarger,theenergyheadrequiredwhenthegaseousrefrigerantiscompressedislarger,sothecentrifugalrefrigerationcompressorandthepistonrefrigerationcompressorarethesame,withtheincreaseofthecondensationtemperatureandthedecreaseoftheevaporationtemperature,theactualexhaustvolumewillbereduced,therebyreducingtherefrigerationcapacityofthecompressor.

However,theextenttowhichchangesinevaporationtemperatureandcondensationtemperatureaffectthecoolingcapacityisdifferentbetweenthetwocompressors.

3.1Influenceofevaporationtemperature

3.2Influenceofcondensingtemperature

Whentherotationnumberandevaporationtemperatureoftherefrigerationcompressorareconstant,andthecondensationtemperatureislowerthanthedesignvalue,thecoldstoragetemperaturehaslittleeffectontherefrigerationcapacityofthecentrifugalrefrigerationcompressor.However,whenthecondensationtemperatureishigherthanthedesignvalue,withtheincreaseofthecondensationtemperature,therefrigerationcapacityofthecentrifugalrefrigerationcompressorwilldropsharply,whichmustbegivenenoughattention.

3.3Influenceofrevolution

Forthepistonrefrigerationcompressor,whentheevaporationtemperatureandcondensationtemperaturearecertain,therefrigerationcapacityofthecompressorisproportionaltothenumberofrevolutions,thatis,thepercentageofthechangeinthenumberofrevolutionsisthepercentageofthechangeintherefrigerationcapacityofthepistonrefrigerationcompressor.

However,thecentrifugalrefrigerationcompressorisnot,becausetheenergyheadgeneratedbythecompressorandtheoutercircumferencespeedoftheimpeller(canalsobesaidtobeproportionaltothesquareofthecompressorrevolution),so,withthereductionoftherevolution,theenergyheadgeneratedbythecentrifugalrefrigerationcompressordecreasessharply,sotherefrigerationcapacitywillalsobesharplyreduced.
