    Zuñiga Antonio
    The Series 3 Plus Performance Controller precisely controls the capacity of centrifugal and axial compressors through various applications such as controlling pressure or flow rate. It offers benefits like more precise control through loop decoupling, less downtime through process limiting, and reliable operation through fallback control strategies. When used with an Antisurge Controller, it provides integrated performance and antisurge control through a communication link that allows the controllers to coordinate their actions. It can also enable optimal load distribution in multiple compressor networks through load sharing algorithms.

    Performance Controller
    for Axial and Centrifugal Compressors

    Description Benefits
    The Series 3 Plus Performance Controller is designed Series 3 Plus Performance Controllers offer many
    to provide precise and reliable capacity control of benefits you can’t get from conventional, general-
    centrifugal and axial compressors. It can be easily purpose controllers, including:

    high temperature. Limiting control loops can be
    enabled for two such variables, in which case the
    output is modulated to satisfy the most restrictive con-
    dition that exists at any given time.
    This controller also features automatic start-up and
    shut-down ramping and can exchange information
    with higher-level computers or distributed-control sys-
    tems via the Modbus serial-communication protocol.
    Plus, the Performance Controller’s loop-decoupling
    and load-sharing features make it the ideal compan-
    ion to our Series 3 Plus Antisurge Controller [PB301].
    Achieving Integrated Performance
    and Antisurge Control
    Axial and centrifugal compressors require at least two
    control loops, one to manipulate the speed, inlet valve
    or guide-vanes to match compressor throughput to
    process requirements, and a second to manipulate a
    recycle or blow-off valve to prevent surge. Close coor-
    dination is required to prevent loop interactions from
    creating pressure and flow oscillations that can
    degrade both control precision and surge protection.
    Performance and Antisurge Controllers use a dedi-
    cated serial communication link to notify each other of
    their intended control actions. Each can then adjust its
    own output so that it compliments rather than impairs
    the control actions of its companion controllers.
