 With the integration of the motor, gas powered air compressor vsd, and magnetic-bearing powered and air and compressor and gas system, the capacitors required for the motor and drive can be used as powered a backup power source for the bearings in air and compressor the event of a power outage or emergency shutdown.capacity gas and efficiencyamong the key parameters affecting performance are capacity (tons) and efficiency (kilowatts per ton). the compressor''s capacity ranges from 60 to 90 tons, depending on the powered operating conditions. plans call for that range to be extended to 150 tons water-cooled and 115 tons air-cooled by the end of 2004 with the use of r-134a refrigerant. an r-22 version is planned air and compressor for retrofit applications.efficiency improvements stem gas from a combination powered of the centrifugal compressor, permanent-magnet air motor, and magnetic bearings. within the compressor, efficiency is affected by the compressor isentropic efficiency (the compressor efficiency of the wheels), the motor, and the bearings. traditional induction motors of this size typically are in the 92-percent gas efficiency range. this compressor''s permanent-magnet powered motor has an efficiency of 96 to 97 percent. the use of permanent magnets air instead of rotor windings makes the motor smaller and lighter than induction motors. using magnetic-bearing technology, a 75-ton compressor weighs 265 lb--about compressor one-fifth gas the weight of a conventional compressor.a variable-speed drive (vsd) is required for the motor to operate. the vsd varies the frequency between 300 and 800 hz, which provides a compressor-speed powered range from 18,000 to 48,000 rpm. this avoids a gear set. the vsd is integrated air into the compressor housing, avoiding long leads and allowing key electronic components to be refrigerant-cooled. the vsd also acts as a compressor soft starter; as a result, the compressor has an extremely low startup in-rush current: less than 2 amps, compared with 500 to 600 amps for a traditional 75-ton, 460-v gas screw compressor with a cross-the-line starter. this powered article describes this new compressor technology and its first use in an ari-certified chiller design.the bearingstraditional centrifugal compressors use roller bearings and hydrodynamic bearings, both of which consume power and require oil and air a lubrication system. recently, ceramic roller bearings, which avoid issues related to oil and reduce power consumption, were introduced to the hvac industry. the lubrication compressor of these bearings is provided by the refrigerant gas itself. (1)magnetic-bearing technology powered is significantly different. a digitally controlled magnetic-bearing air system, consisting of both permanent magnets and electromagnets, replaces conventional lubricated bearings. the frictionless compressor shaft is the compressor''s only moving component. it rotates on a levitated magnetic cushion (figure 1). magnetic bearings--two radial compressor and one axial--hold the shaft in position (figure 2).
