• When the operating point moves quickly towards the SCL, the rate of change (dS/dT) can be used to dynamically increase the surge control margin.

• This allows the PID controller to react earlier.

• Smaller steady state surge control margins can be used w/o sacrificing reliability.

• If Operating Point crosses the Safety On® Line the compressor is in surge

SLL = Surge Limit LineRTL Line = Recycle Trip®

• The Safety On® response shifts the SCL and the RTL to the right
