Variable Geometry Diffuser (Vgd) Screen - York YD Mod D Operation Manual

Variable Geometry Diffuser (VGD) screen

Figure 14: Variable Geometry Diffuser 1 screen
This screen displays information pertinent to the compressor VGD operation. Also, the VGD can be
manually controlled from this screen. Screens for VGD 1 and 2 are similar.
Animations for the diffuser ring are based on the Control Status: Probing – moves right to left
(opening), Stall Reacting or Surge reacting – left to right (closing), all other states – stopped and
shown at a point midway between full left and full right.
Animation for stall detection is shown in the diffuser gap while a stall is occurring (Stall Detector
voltage is above the related High Limit threshold).

Description
Displays the Stall Detector output voltage (x.xxVDC), as received by the Microboard.
Displays the High Stall Detector Voltage Limit. Set in the VGD Setpoints Screen with
Service Level Access.
Displays the Low Stall Detector Voltage Limit. Set in the VGD Setpoints Screen with
Service Level Access.
Displays the speed of the compressor (Mach number = tip speed / speed of sound).
Displays the status of the VGD Limit Switch. Displayed as CLOSED when the VGD is in
the fully closed position. Otherwise, as OPEN.
Lights when an open signal is being applied to the VGD.
Lights when a close signal is being applied to the VGD.
Displays the position of the VGD. 0% to 100% open.
Displays the maximum calculated value that the VGD will be allowed to open for the
present condition. (0% to 100%). Opening too far could cause surge.
Lights momentarily when a surge is detected by the Surge Protection feature. If
equipped with a VSD or MV VSD, these are the surges detected while the drive runs at
maximum frequency.
