Parallel operation of screw compressor packs.

Summary

Ammonia screw compressor packs utilizing parallel operation of two or three smaller industrial NH3 screw compressors, offer the optimum way when it comes to fulfilling maximum part load efficiency, increased redundancy and other highly requested features in the industrial refrigeration industry today. Parallel operation in an optimum way can be selected to secure continuous operation and can in most applications be configured to ensure lower overall operating economy. New compressors are developed to meet requirements for flexibility in operation and are controlled in an intelligent way. The intelligent control system must keep focus on all external demands, but yet striving to offer always the lowest possible absorbed power, including future scenarios with connection to smart grid. This paper builds on top of and includes most of the results of an earlier investigation to show how to realize a series of compressor packs following basically the results of these findings.
