Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a centrifugal device. The invention furthermore relates to a centrifugal device. The centrifugal device is provided with a drum which can be driven at a variable speed of rotation, with a frame and with vibration dampers arranged between the frame and the drum. The invention furthermore relates to a computer program product.
Claims14
A method for operating a centrifugal device comprising a drum which can be driven at a variable speed of rotation, a support frame, and an intermediate frame which is connected to the support frame by at least two vibration dampers, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- A- increasing the speed of rotation of the drum;
- and
- B- modifying damping properties of the vibration dampers during an increase in the speed of rotation of the drum in such a way that for each vibration damper to reduce mechanical force compressing the vibration dampers.
A centrifugal device comprising:
- a support frame;
- a rotatably drivable drum including an intermediate frame which is connected to the support frame by at least two vibration dampers;
- a support frame;
- and
- a controller which is configured to:
- increase a speed of rotation of the drum, and
- modify damping properties of the vibration dampers during the increase in the speed of rotation of the drum in such a way that for each vibration damper, mechanical force compressing the vibration damper is reduced.
A computer for controlling a centrifugal device having a drum which can be driven at a variable speed of rotation, a support frame, and an intermediate frame which is connected to the support frame by at least two vibration dampers, the computer, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a readable storage medium provided with instructions which, when executed on at least one processor, ensure that the at least one processor causes the centrifugal devices to:
- increase the speed of rotation of the drum;
- and
- modify damping properties of the vibration dampers during the increase in the speed of rotation of the drum in such a way that for each vibration damper, mechanical force compressing the vibration damper is reduced.
