A multi-compressor system employs multiple compressors that operate either simultaneously or alternately to regulate cooling capacity. In the context of BROAD oil free chillers, the use of multi-compressors offers several advantages, including:

How the BROAD Multi-Compressor Control System Works

  1. Cooling Load Sensing: The system is equipped with sensors that continuously monitor the cooling load.
  2. Compressor On/Off Control: Based on the cooling load data, the control system determines which compressors to turn on or off.
  3. Inverter Control (VSD): In addition to on/off control, the system also employs an inverter (Variable Speed Drive) to regulate the rotational speed of the compressors. This enables finer adjustments to cooling capacity.
  4. Load Adaptation: When the cooling load decreases, the system will automatically shut down some compressors and reduce the rotational speed of the remaining operating compressors. Conversely, when the load increases, the system will activate additional compressors or increase the rotational speed of the already operating compressors.
