Compressor or Expander Design Tab The Design tab contains the following pages: + Connections + Parameters + Links + User Variables + Notes Connections Page The figure below shows the Connections page for the Centrifugal Compressor property view. tame e100 Inet Fuld Patage [m= =] met +] [om 3 The Connections page allows you to specify the name of the operation, as well as the inlet stream, outlet stream, and energy stream. The information required on the Connections page of the Expander is identical; the only difference that the Expander icon is shown rather than the Compressor icon. Parameters Page You can specify the duty of the attached energy stream on the Parameters page, or allow HYSYS to calculate it. emu oncoe (EAS | Otaaneen cen (___,The adiabatic and polytropic efficiencies appear on this page as well. Note: You can specify only one efficiency, either adiabatic or polytropic. If you specify one efficiency and a solution is obtained, HYSYS back calculates the other efficiency, using the calculated duty and stream conditions. ‘The Parameters page for the Compressor and the Expander are similar. However, the following items are not available for the Expander: + Polytropic method selection + Operating Mode group + Multiple MW Curves in the Curve Input Option group Centrifugal or Reciprocating Compressor In the Operating Mode group, you can switch between a Centrifugal and Reciprocating Compressor by selecting the corresponding radio button. If you choose the Centrifugal radio button, the radio buttons in the Curve Input Option group are enabled. In the Curve Input Option group the following radio buttons are available: + Select the Single Curve radio button to model your compressor with a single pair of head vs. flow and efficiency vs. flow curves. The Single Curve radio button still allows multiple curves as a function of speed, but not MW or IGV position. + Select the Multiple MW Curves radio button if you have a set of curves that describe the compressor performance as a function of the flowing gas molecular weight (MW). + Select the Multiple IGV Curves radio button if you have a set of curves that describe the compressor performance as a function of inlet guide vane (IGV) position. Polytropic Methods + Select Schultz to use the Schultz method to calculate the polytropic head and efficiency in centrifugal compressors. + Select Huntington to use the Huntington method to calculate the polytropic head and efficiency in centrifugal compressors. + Select Reference for an integration of the Schultz and Huntington methods. Curve Input Options + Use Single MW to model your compressor with a single pi vs. flow curves. + Use Multiple MW if you have a set of curves that describe the compressor performance as a function of the flowing gas molecular weight (MW). + Use Multiple IGV if you have a set of curves that describe the compressor performance as a function of inlet guide vane (IGV) position. + Use Non-Dimensional or Quasi-Dimensionless curves where experimental data is used for compressor characteristic curves. of head vs. flow and efficiency Pressure Specs Use the DeltaP and Pressure Ratio areas to enter Pressure Specs for the unit operation. You can type them or they can be calculated by HYSYS, if Inlet Pressure and Outlet pressures are available aspenONE Exchange| @ | Glick the aspenONE Exchange icon (pictured to the left) to access known manufacturer specifications. aspenONE Exchange is a web-sourced library that includes pre-built models and partial flowsheets that you can download to speed creating simulations. If you select a model, it will populate the fields on the Parameters page with known values. Surge Analysis You can select the Surge Analysis button to perform compressor surge analysis under different emergency scenarios quickly and easily by running a dynamic simulation of a compressor with a recycle, controller, pipes, valves, and knock out drums included, using very few inputs. Dynamic results display on pre-made stripcharts, compressor curves profiles, and additional results forms to help you discover the best anti-surge configuration for your compressor. Links Page Compressors and expanders modeled in HYSYS can have shafts that are physically connected to the unit operation. Linking compressors and expanders in HYSYS means the + Speed of each linked unit operation is the same. = Sum of the duties of each linked Compressor or Expander and the total power loss equals zero. The rotational linker operates both in Steady State and Dynamic mode It is not significant which order the Compressors or Expanders are linked. The notion of upstream and downstream links is arbitrary and determined by the user. Previous Unk Ne ik Sexmato ot > {| rT. Teta PonerLone capt Dynami Spefiaten A list of available compressors or expanders can be displayed by clicking the down arrow in the Downstream Link field. In most cases, one additional specification for any of the linked operations is required to allow the simulation case to completely solve Ideally, you should specify one of the following for any of the linked unit operations. + Duty + Speed « Total Power Loss It is also possible to link an Expander to a Compressor, and use the Expander to generate kinetic energy to drive the Compressor. If this option is chosen, the total power loss is typically specified as zero.Dynamic Specification In Dynamics mode, at least one curve must be specified in the Curves page of the Rating tab for each linked unit operation. Ideally, a set of linked compressor or expanders should only have the Use Characteristic Curves checkbox selected in the Specs page of the Dynamics tab. In addition, the total power loss for the linked operations should be specified. Usually, total power input to the linked compressors or expanders is calculated in a Spreadsheet operation and specified by you in the Total Power Loss field. If you want to provide the total power input to a set of linked compressors or expanders, the total power input to the linked operations is defined in terms of a total power loss, The relationship is as follows: Total Power Input = - Total Power Loss User Variables Page The User Variables page enables you to create and implement your own user variables for the current operation, Notes Page The Notes page provides a text editor where you can record any comments or information regarding the specific unit operation, or your simulation case in general.
