Unit Improvements - Coggle Diagram
Unit Improvements
Performance
Throttle unloader (in specific positions)
Avoid 'pumping'
Measure parameters to avoid high pressure ratio
Specific applications with low pressure requirements
Lock functionality in controller to diversify units
Pressure
3rd stage booster
Throttle
LAT (low/high)
VSD fans
Many small cooler fans
Each cooler its own fans
AC control
IC control
Easier balancing of coolerpack
Modularity in coolerpack
External coolerpacks
Flow
Parallel piping
Transformer (separately driven elements)
Ideal pressure ratios (interstage pressure)
Optimize LAT over both elements
Possible to throttle?
Optimize element lifetime?
Increase max performance depending on ambient conditions?
Energy
Recuperation
Heat
Heat up water for customer
Use as heating for living quarters
Generate electricity (Seebeck-effect)
Solar energy
Charge battery so no charger is required
Clutch
Reverse cooling fan to heat up unit at low ambients
Reliability
Fandrive
Remove belt tensioner
Use (small) fan to force airflow through gearbox breather and avoid overpressure on gearbox
How to introduce new technology (eg VSD fandrive), Components not 100% right for application
Test
Field
Endurance
labo
Use experience of supplier
Use cases
Application approval
Design for reliability
Check functionality sooner & more in depth (T&I?)
Start using nex technolofy in existing machines to reduce risks
Serviceablity
Troubleshooting
What is wrong and how to fix it
Design for serviceability
AR/VR
Data Driven
What fails?
How is service done?
Predictive maintenance
Design
More data driven
Analysis of competitors
Standardise design over teams
Fan cowls
AC+WS
Risk management
Standard approach
Define
Evaluate
Solve
Continuously capture during design process
PL
Designer
Test engineer
Feedback data
Sensors
Tilt-sensor (angle of unit)
Distance to other units
Doors closed
Dp sensors for filters
Gearbox pressue
Oil quality sensor
Coolant quality
Cubicle closed
WS open/closed & water level
Louvers open/closed
SPM on bearings
Monitor subsystems of unit
Dp over elements => efficiency & element failures
Inlet/outlet flow
LAT monitoring/Cooling airflow => cleaning
Compare pressures and temp to evaluate status of unit
Oil Xpert
Condensate
Live Visualisation of P&ID on controller (cfr production processes)
Can customer add his process in our compressor?
With data history this can create a learning too for AC & customer
