Abstract
Abstract A method of controlling inlet valves of a compression reactor consists in that in the process of operation of the reactor 1 pressure in its working spaces 4, 5 and supply lines 7, 6 is continuously measured, the sign of a pressure differential (ΔP) between said working spaces 4, 5 and the respective supply lines 7, 6 is determined, at the instant the sign of the pressure differential (ΔP) changes from "minus" to "plus" a command to relieve the inlet valves 8, 9 of all control actions, except the pressure differential, is produced, and at the instant the sign of the pressure differential (ΔP) changes from "plus" to "minus" a command to read a preset time interval (τ) is supplied, at the expiration of which interval a command to close the inlet valves 8, 9 of the reactor 1 is produced. A device for controlling inlet valves of a compression reactor comprises drives 10, 11 actuating the inlet valves 8, 9 of the reactor 1, pressure pickups 14, 15, 16, 17 arranged in the working spaces 4, 5 and in the supply lines 6, 7, comparators 18, 19 connected to the outputs of the pickups 14, 15, 16, 17, units 12, 13 to control the drives 10, 11, the inputs of which are connected through time relays 20, 21 to the outputs of the comparators 18, 19 and the outputs of which are connected to the drives 10, 11, and a chronometer 22 connected with one of the comparators 18, 19.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
A method of controlling inlet valves of a compression reactor by way of opening and closing the inlet valves which open towards the inside of the compression reactor, characterized in that in the process of operation of the compression reactor 1 the sign of a pressure differential (ΔP) between a working space 4, 5 of the reactor 1 and a respective supply line 7, 6 is determined, at the instant the sign of the pressure differential (ΔP) changes from "minus" to "plus" a command to relieve the inlet valves 8, 9 of all control actions keeping the inlet valves 8, 9 in a closed state is produced, and at the instant the sign of the pressure differential (ΔP) changes from "plus" to "minus" a command to read a preset time interval (τ) within which the inlet valves 8, 9 are open is produced, at the expiration of the preset time interval (τ) a command to close the inlet valves 8, 9 of the compression reactor 1 and to keep them in a closed state is supplied.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
176 words
A method of controlling inlet valves of a compression reactor by way of opening and closing the inlet valves which open towards the inside of the compression reactor, characterized in that in the process of operation of the compression reactor 1 the sign of a pressure differential (ΔP) between a working space 4, 5 of the reactor 1 and a respective supply line 7, 6 is determined, at the instant the sign of the pressure differential (ΔP) changes from "minus" to "plus" a command to relieve the inlet valves 8, 9 of all control actions keeping the inlet valves 8, 9 in a closed state is produced, and at the instant the sign of the pressure differential (ΔP) changes from "plus" to "minus" a command to read a preset time interval (τ) within which the inlet valves 8, 9 are open is produced, at the expiration of the preset time interval (τ) a command to close the inlet valves 8, 9 of the compression reactor 1 and to keep them in a closed state is supplied.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
79 words
A method of controlling inlet valves of a compression reactor according to claim 1, characterized in that at the instant the sign of the pressure differential (ΔP) between the working space 4, 5 and the respective supply line 7, 6 changes from "minus" to "plus" the value of a change-of-sign period (T) of the pressure differential (ΔP) is measured, and the value of the preset time interval (τ) is selected within the range from 0.05 T to 0.3 T.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
144 words
A method of controlling inlet valves of a compression reactor according to claim 2, characterized in that in the process of operation of the reactor 1 the value of the change-of-sign period T of the pressure differential (ΔP) is measured, compared with a predetermined value (T n ) of the change-of-sign period of the pressure differential (ΔP), determining the new preset steady-state conditions of the reactor 1 and, if said values T and T n are not equal, the value of the preset time interval (τ) is changed within the range from 0.05 T to 0.3 T, the obtained value (T i ) of the period is measured and compared with the predetermined value (T n ) of the period until the predetermined value (T n ) and the obtained value (T i ) of the change-of-sign period of the pressure differential (ΔP) coincide.
