INTRODUCTION
This document describes the control logic for the compressor system controls upgrade
(Phase I) of the MTF helium refrigerator. Phase I is intended to duplicate the existing
functionality of the control console in the new PLC-based control system. For details
about Phase I scope, please refer to RCU-98-022.
The basis for this document is the original compressor system control logic documented
in RCU-98-10, plus discussions with operators to identify obsolete aspects of the original
logic. These obsolete aspects have been eliminated for the upgrade logic. There are a few
changes described in this document intended to enhance safety and troubleshooting.
Deviations from the original logic and other comments can be found in the Upgrade
Notes section.
In addition, we contacted the compressor manufacturer (Sullair) to obtain information
about current compressor control strategies. We were referred to their supplier (Logix
Industrial Refrigeration Controls) and we consulted with them. Logix provided us with
their Compressor Control System Operations Manual so we could verify that our controls
upgrade basis is consistent with their approach.
For additional details, please refer to the following documents:

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The process compressor is a two-stage system on a separate skid approximately 35 by 8
by 10 high and weighs approximately 45,000 pounds. The skid consists of two open
drive Sullair screw compressors, oil cooling systems, oil separation system, gas
management valving, motor controls, and a local instrument cabinet.

also provides additional information for the operator (e.g., the system now provides
continuous gas suction and discharge temperature indication instead of just a
shutdown temperature switch that gives no warning before shutdown.) For
additional details, see RCU-98-19.
5. The original system was designed to work outdoors and it was equipped with
heaters that had been disabled. Since the compressor system is working indoors
and the heaters are no longer required, we decided to remove them. This change
simplifies the electrical system.
6. Auxiliary oil pumps for the first and second stage compressor were added to the
original system and were started manually after a long shutdown and a couple of
minutes before starting the compressors. With the upgrade, these pumps can be
started remotely from the operator interface.

FIRST STAGE
SECOND STAGE
UPGRADE NOTES:
1. PS206, PS209, TS200, PS205, PS210, TS201, TS205, TS203 and TS208 have been
replaced by settings on analog signal provided by PT206, PT209, TT200, PT205,
PT210, TT201, TT205, TT203 and TT208 respectively.
2. All units are now expressed in psia or psid
3. The original system included a shutdown interlock on low suction temperature.
This interlock has been removed because the compressor system has been moved
far away from the coldbox and a condition of low suction temperature is not
expected to exist.
4. An interlock on cold box vacuum had been added to the system. We decided to
remove this interlock because it was intended to prevent cold gas from reaching the
first stage suction when the compressor system was installed close to the cold box.
5. A permissive on N2 vent valve open limit switch had been added to the system. We
decided to eliminate this interlock because it is no longer relevant due to process
equipment changes (this signal had been jumpered)
FERMILAB
Technical
Division
6. An interlock on sub-atmospheric first stage suction pressure has been added (see
Gas Management section)
7. The instrument air low pressure setting has been lowered from 83.7 psia to 75
psia . This is because of the lower pressure differential rating of new 24 VDC
solenoids (75 psid) compared to the original 110 VAC solenoids (150 psid). In
addition, a transmitter (PT209) to allow trending has replaced the switch PS209.
We still need to find out what is the lowest admisible air supply pressure to operate
pneumatic valves. After this information is obtained, PT209 shutdown setting may
be lowered.
8. Timers for PDS204 and PDS209 were measured to be 16 seconds. We are going to
set them at 20 sec.
9. The implementation of the interlock logic includes first-fault indication. This is the
initiating event that caused the interlock condition.
10. Once the interlock condition is set, it will remain set until the operator pushes the
RESET pushbutton in the operator interface.
11. Broken transmitter interlocks have been added for analog transmitters. See section
on Broken Transmitter Alarms. Switches are wired in the Normally Closed (NC)
position, so any electrical problems in the loop such as an open circuit will cause a
shutdown.
12. The shutdown setpoint on 2nd stage discharge (260 psia) could be too conservative,
but operators never run the system that high in discharge pressure. There is a skid
relief valve set at 300 psia, so the shutdown setpoint should never exceed this value.
13. To avoid nuisance shutdowns during compressor system startup, we changed the
logic to trip the second stage compressor when the suction pressure remains
subatmospheric for more than 2 minutes. Initially, shutdown as soon as the suction
pressure went subatmospheric.
14. Following the February 2006 fire in IB1A, a current interlock for each helium
compressor motor was instituted: 250 A for first stage, 1000 A for second stage.
This interlock is software-based, programmed into the PLC. A subsequent startup
in July 2006 found that the first stage setpoint was too low. The inrush current is
higher than estimated, and the compressor tripped off shortly after startup when
the interlock timer expired. The setpoint was then raised to 300 A.
15. The settings for the new overload switches put into service during the May 2006
maintenance shutdown are as follows: OLS200 (first stage) has a 2.5 A setpoint
and uses time dial setting 3, OLS201 (second stage) has a 3 A setpoint and uses
time dial setting 2.

UPGRADE NOTES:
1. Operators never run the system in AUTO load or unload. They manually load or
unload the system, using the motor current indicator as a feedback signal.
Typically, they like to run the first stage motor at 150-180 Amps, and the second
stage motor at 480-800 Amps. The upgraded system includes a potentiometer to
provide slide valve position feedback.
2. The original system included logic to automatically unload the compressor in case
of overcurrent or overpressure conditions (under either MANUAL or AUTO load
or unload). We decided to preserve this logic for the Phase I to avoid unnecessary
shutdown when the system is running unattended.
3. Automatic load and unload controls will be added as part of the Phase II upgrade.
It will be a software upgrade module for the overall gas management control
automation.
FERMILAB
Technical
Division
4. The system had an old style slide valve actuator in the second stage, and a new style
actuator in the first stage. We decided to replace the old style by the new style, so
the upgraded system will have the same style actuator in both stages.

UPGRADE NOTES:
1. Operators run the gas management system normally in the Makeup mode
(LS200 ON).
2. A switch had been added to the system to use PIC202 to control PCV1406 instead
of PCV211. PCV1406 brings gas to the medium pressure line from HX-1400.
Operators normally run the system with this switch ON, so PCV211 is normally
closed, PIC202 is put in MANUAL and its output is used to control PCV1406. This
valve is usually controlled to be 100% open or closed, so the PID functionality and
variable output is not really required. The upgraded system eliminates the switch,
PIC202 is used exclusively to control PCV211, and an OPEN/CLOSE command
will control PCV1406.
3. Operators like to run the system with PIC203 controlling PCV221 at 20 to 25%
open.
4. Operators run the system with a setpoint range for PIC200 between 150 psi and
220 psi, about 38 psia for PIC203, and 1 psi above atmosphere (15.7 psia) for
PIC201.
5. The original system had been modified to add a manual valve in the pneumatic line
joining PCV226 and PCV207. The original intent of this seems to be to allow
PCV206 to open to bleed gas into the first stage suction if valve PCV204 is open
fully and the discharge side pressure continues to climb. Since the manual valve is
always closed, this logic has been disabled. The upgraded system will remove this
pneumatic line and install a standard solenoid for valves PCV206 and PCV204. If
a two-tier control stragegy for discharge pressure is needed, it will be done in
software as part of the Phase II upgrade.
6. The original system was designed so LS200 will automatically switch from makeup
to recirculation mode when the dewar liquid level reaches a predetermined
setpoint. This logic did not work very well because of noisy dewar liquid level
signal, so it had been disabled. LS200 was only actuated manually by the operator.
The Phase I upgrade will not include any automatic switching between makeup
and recirculation mode, but Phase II may include this automation.

Solenoid Valves
The compressor system isolation valves PCV215, PCV 214, and PCV200 are N.C.
valves. These valves open by energizing their corresponding 3-way solenoid valves
PCV212, PCV224, and PCV201. When the solenoid valves open, instrument air is
supplied to the isolation valves and these valves will open. When the solenoid valves
close, air is exhausted from the isolation valves and these valves will close. There are
certain permissives that must be satisfied before the solenoid valves can open. Figure 14
shows this logic.
PCV215 and PCV215 are equipped with limit switches to signal that these valves are
fully open.
PCV214 (MP Valve) limit switch is used to energize a 5TI relay (CR290), which is used
as one of several permissives to open T1 and T2 turbines inlet valves in the cold box.
This limit switch is also used to activate a pilot lamp to indicate that PCV214 is fully
open.
PCV215 (LP Valve) limit switch is used to activate a pilot lamp to indicate that this valve
is fully open.
UPGRADE NOTES:
1. The PCV214 solenoid (PCV224) had been disabled, and the pneumatic line
connected directly to PCV214 for unkown reasons. As a result, PCV214 no longer
closed but operators still needed to push the OPEN button to satisfy permissives to
open PCV200. A consequence of bypassing the solenoid is that PCV214 open
permissives based on pressure differential (PDS200 and PDS201) were no longer
effective. The upgrade will restore the functionality of the PCV214 solenoid and its
open permissives, as it was originally intended. According to R. Barger, this is
important to prevent damage to turbines.
2. The permisive on cold box instrument air supply OK has been removed. This seems
to be an unnecessary interface between the cold box and the compressor system.

UPGRADE NOTES:
1. Solenoid PCV227 (air to FCV204, the interstage isolation valve) has been
hardwired to CR-204 (the second stage motor start relay) according to hand-written
notes. In the original CTI system, it was wired to the 5TI output Y22. However, the
original 5TI program does not contain logic for Y22. R. Barger explained that this
valve was originally included by CTI to prevent second stage compressor backspin
after shutdown, so they wanted to make sure it closed immediately after shutdown.
It was still not effective to prevent backspin, so a check valve was added to the
system later. With the check valve addition, FCV204 is not as critical, so we decided
to wire it to the PLC and replace the hardwired logic by PLC logic. The current 5TI
program version does include logic for Y22, but it does not seem to be related to
PCV227. We need to verify where is Y22 wired to during the disassembly.
2. Solenoid PCV226 was added to the system and solenoid PCV207 was changed to a
standard 3-way solenoid. See RCU-98-032 for details.
3. Manual valves have replaced the three solenoids for the buffer tank (EV-240 to
242) because they are used for maintenance only.

UPGRADE NOTES:
1. The 5TI signals are 110 VAC, so auxiliary control relays to switch 110 VAC may be
needed to provide these signals.
2. We decided to eliminate the cold box vacuum signal to the compressor system. This
signal (wired to X49) would trip the compressor if the cold box vacuum is bad. The
5TI program was modified to accommodate this logic. The purpose of this seems to
be to prevent cold gas from running through the compressors, which was more
critical when the compressors were close to the cold box.
3. We also decided to eliminate the N2 vent valve limit switch signal. The compressors
were prevented from starting if this valve was closed (again, this logic was added to
the 5TI system). This condition is no longer relevant, and the signal had been
jumpered.
