    摘要: A method of cooling a refrigerant includes providing a condenser (200) including a condenser shell (202) that contains a condenser chamber (204), a condensing conduit (209), and a cooling conduit (217); condensing a refrigerant within the condenser chamber (204) from a vapour phase to a liquid phase by exchanging heat from the refrigerant in the condenser chamber (204) to a fluid in the condensing conduit (209); supplying a first portion of the condensed refrigerant to the cooling conduit (217) via a first expansion valve (310) such that the first portion of the refrigerant decreases in pressure and temperature before entering the cooling conduit (217); and cooling the refrigerant in the condenser chamber (204) by exchanging heat from the refrigerant in the condenser chamber (204) to the first portion of the refrigerant in the cooling conduit (217).

    摘要: A method for controlling the power-on or power-off of an air conditioner is provided. The method includes the following steps: determining whether a variable capacity compressor of the air conditioner is in a standby single-cylinder operation state before starting the air conditioner, where the variable capacity compressor is configured to be switchable between a single-cylinder operation state and a dual-cylinder operation state; if so, starting the air conditioner; if not, switching the variable capacity compressor to the standby single-cylinder operation state, and then starting the air conditioner. With this control method, regardless of whether the air conditioner is shut down because the power supply of the unit is cut off or because a power-off signal is received, the air conditioner can be started in a single-cylinder operation state in the next startup, so that the operation state of the cylinder is always determined when starting the air conditioner.

    摘要: A compressor of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a casing having an inner volume and an inner surface defining the inner volume, where the inner volume is configured to accommodate a rotor therein. The compressor also includes an economizer port formed in the casing and configured to inject a flow of fluid into the inner volume and a valve disposed within the economizer port and configured to regulate the flow of fluid into the inner volume. The valve has an inward-facing surface, and the inward-facing surface is aligned with the inner surface of the casing in a closed position of the valve.
