A compressor for a turbo chiller that can stably and efficiently operate
in various operating states is provided. An aerodynamic feature map
showing a rotating stall line at which rotating stall occurs is provided
on a map represented by a flow parameter reflecting the volume flow based
on the output thermal capacity of the chiller and by a pressure parameter
reflecting the head based on the evaporator pressure and the condenser
pressure. A minimum rotation speed obtaining unit obtains a minimum
rotation speed from the pressure parameter and the rotating stall line on
the aerodynamic feature map in the current operating state, and a
rotation speed greater than or equal to the minimum rotation speed thus
obtained is designated to the inverter.
