Antisurge PI Response - A proportional-integral response of the Anti-
‘surge controller to manipulate the recycle valve based on the DEViation.
Derivative Response - A response of the Antisurge controller where the
surge control line (SCL) moves to meet the operating point. How far the
line moves is dependent on the speed of approach of the operating point
(TdO*dS/dT) multiplied by the value b3. This is done so the recycle valve
can open sooner for a fast disturbance.
Recycle Trip Response - An open-loop response where the recycle
valve is stepped open in response to crossing the recycle trip line (RTL),
causing the operating point (OP) to go back to the surge control line
(SCL),
Safety On Response - A response where the SCL and RTL are moved
to a safer location, by the amount b2. The operator should determine the
cause of the Safety On response and “Reset” the Safety On.
Note: Some items may not apply to your system,AUTO Automatic / Manual - The operating mode of the Antisurge con
MANUAL | ‘roller
Note: in MANUAL the operator must manipulate the recycle valve.
Wrath of the Safety Margin - The distance between the SCL and
SLL, based on the equation b = b1 + (62"n) + (b3"TdO"dS/dt)
afety Margin - Minimum distance between SCL and SLL
Safety On Bias - Distance added to the SCL each time surge is.
detected
Derivative} Derivative Response - A response of the Antisurge controller
(b3) where the SCL moves to meet the operating point. The RTL
remains fixed.
Deviation - The distance between the SCL. and the OP. A positive
value indicates that the OP is to the right of the SCL. A negative
value indicates that the OP is to the left of the SCL.
Fallback | Fallback Strategy - An alternate operational strategy to maintain
the same level of surge protection when a required input fails.
Limit - A response of the Antisurge controller that can override the
Primary P! control, based on a secondary variable (Ps, Pd, or Rec).
Operating Point - The point on the compressor map that repre-
‘Sents the current operating location of the compressor.
PI Response - The closed-loop response of the Antisurge control-
ler.
Recycle Trip Line - Line on compressor map where the open-loop
RT response is triggered.
Recycle Trip - Distance between the RTL and the SCL.
Surge Coniro! Line - Line on compressor map where DEV has a
Zero value. if the OP is left of the SCL, the recycle valve opens. If
the OP is right of the SCL, the recycle vaive closes.
Surge Limit Ling - Line on compressor map representing where
surge occurs. Surge occurs when the OP is left of the SLL.
Safety On» Distance between the SLL and the SOL.
Safety On Line - Line on compressor map where the controller
recognizes surge and the Safety On response is triggered.
