VENTILATION SYSTEMS RELIABILITY WITH THE FLUIDIC

 CONTROL DEVICES

 

Comparison of nonfailure operation parameters of ventilation systems with different control modes  is presented.

It is shown, that using fluidic components increase the reliability of ventilation systems.

 

Under tough economic policy problems of improving all processes associated with energy consumption, improving working conditions, higher environmental safety are acute.

In such circumstances efficiency, reliability and durability of the heating and ventilation systems are actual. Not in the last turn, these parameters are determined by means of ventilation system productivity regulation. In this paper comparison of ventilation system reliability executed for three different control systems – one  which is built with the use of standard apparatus (control device is mechanical with an electro drive), second – with the use of fluidic (vortex and deflective) control elements, and third – using theristor device for frequency rotation control of ventilator.

To determine the reliability of the systems we use the method of flow control structure charts [1].  For this we represent each system as series of elements for which the coefficient of  reliability is known. At such approach the examined systems are faultless only in that case, when all elements are faultless. Probability of nonfailure  operation P of successive connection of elements, according to the multiplication theorem of random values

where   is probability of nonfailure operation  of i–element.

During the operation for the failure rate exponential law of reliability is validate  

In this case for the n elements serial connection the equation takes the form

where  is  intensity failure rate and time of correct operation of the i- element.

For highly reliable components, when the

.

Thus, for calculating the reliability of arbitrarily complex system enough to know the composition of elements, their number, the mounting connection and statistical characteristics of reliability of each item. Data on the composition of elements are determined by the circuit board, and the statistical reliability of elements - based on data from the drive, such projected.  Below are the failure rate of the system elements defined within the confidence level α = 0,9, obtained by generalization  the data manual fluidic and vortex elements [1, 2, 3]:

Electro mechanic convertors  – 2,5.

Electric motors -  1,0 . . .4,0.

Pneumatic elements – 1,4.

Deflective elements -  < 0,1.

Vortex elements - < 0,1.

Mechanical elements of flow control (shutter) – 2,0.

Theristor convertors – 5, 7.

Ventilators – 1,0 .. . .4,0.

Calculation of reliability indices for structural schemes carried out in drive blocks and units. This allowed us to compare sites in terms of reliability, identify weaknesses and ways to improve reliability during design and operation.

It should be keeps in mind that the reliability indices at contradiction  with other indicators of the drive quality (cost, effectiveness, etc.).

With increasing reliability costs in the design, manufacture and testing of ventilation systems increases on the one hand, and on the other operating costs by reducing the number of refusals reduce. These two opposing trends create the preconditions for the emergence of extremum of economic efficiency indicators, which corresponds to specific (optimal) value of the probability of nonfailure operation.

Thus, the problem of valuation of reliability is converged to the investigation of the total reduced cost, depending on the probability of nonfailure operation. Functional relationship normalized cost with the probability of nonfailure operation of the drive has the form

                                                                      (1)

where

 is probability of faultless operation;

- normalized costs associated with development and production of the ventilation system with a probability of nonfailure operation ;

 - reduced annual normalized costs of maintenance during operation

The results obtained calculating the normalized cost for the ventilation system of model unit with different methjds of productivity changing relative respect to the throttle, that widely using now

                                                                                                      

 

 

                                            (2)

 

Thus it is confirmed that the using the fluidic and vortex elements to control the productivity of ventilation system improves its reliability compared to traditional throttling and theristor control modes.

The calculations also showed that the ventilation system for power generating unit using fluidic or vortex devices would increase the probability of nonfailure operation no less than 9%.
