摘要:
A method of controlling a refrigeration system having a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a variable speed condenser fan is provided. The method includes determining if a change in an ambient temperature or a compressor suction pressure is greater than a predetermined threshold, determining a near-optimal condensing pressure/temperature if the change in the ambient temperature or the compressor suction pressure is above the predetermined threshold, setting a condensing pressure setpoint based on the determined near-optimal condensing pressure/temperature, and setting a speed of the variable speed condenser fan based on the condensing pressure setpoint.

摘要:
A method of determining charge loss of a refrigeration system includes the steps of inputting an ambient temperature, a box temperature, and a compressor speed into an electronic controller of the refrigeration system, and calculating a first air side temperature difference across an evaporator by applying an algorithm having a first T-Map representative of normal operating conditions. The controller may then confirm a detection prerequisite is satisfied. Upon confirmation, the controller calculates a second air side temperature difference across the evaporator by applying the algorithm having a second T-Map representative of a loss of refrigerant charge. An action may then be taken from the controller if the first air side temperature difference is less than the second air side temperature difference.

A method is provided for detecting in real-time a refrigerant charge loss in a refrigerant vapor compression system. If both a sensed evaporator outlet superheat exceeds a target evaporator outlet superheat by at least a preset amount of superheat and a sensed degree of openness of an electronic expansion valve exceeds a preset degree of openness for a preset time of period, and a sensed air temperature of either a flow of supply air having traversed the evaporator or a flow of return air returning to the evaporator is changing at a rate less than preset air temperature rate of change, a service alarm is generated indicating a loss of charge warning.

Methods and systems for operating a refrigeration unit are provided. The methods and systems include measuring a first characteristic of a refrigeration unit, calculating a compressor middle stage pressure based on the first measured characteristic, determining if a first comparison and a second comparison are satisfied based on the first measured characteristic and the calculated compressor middle stage pressure, and opening an economizer solenoid valve when the first comparison and the second comparison are satisfied.
摘要:
Operation of a transcritical refrigerant vapor compression system for supplying temperature conditioned air to a temperature controlled space is controlled when staging up or staging down to avoid undesirable overshoot and undershoot of the narrow temperature band bounding the control temperature set point for the temperature within the temperature controlled space.
摘要:
Operation of a transcritical refrigerant vapor compression system is controlled, when operating in a high capacity mode, through control of the refrigerant pressure in the refrigerant heat rejection heat exchanger (40) or the compressor (30) discharge pressure, also referred to herein as the high side pressure, so as to optimize energy efficiency. When operating in unloaded low capacity mode, such as for chilling perishable product during temperature maintenance operation, the high side pressure is controlled so that the system can operate in a continuous running mode.
