Abstract: A compressor may include a shell, a non-orbiting scroll, an orbiting scroll, and a discharge valve member. The shell may define a discharge chamber. The non-orbiting scroll may be disposed within the discharge chamber and includes a first end plate and a first spiral wrap extending from the first end plate. The orbiting scroll may be disposed within the discharge chamber and includes a second end plate and a second spiral wrap extending from the second end plate. The first and second spiral wraps mesh with each other to define fluid pockets therebetween. The second end plate includes a discharge passage extending therethrough. The discharge valve member may be attached to the second end plate and may be movable between an open position allowing fluid flow from the discharge passage to the discharge chamber and a closed position restricting fluid flow from the discharge passage to the discharge chamber.

Abstract: A system for monitoring health of refrigerated storage containers includes an instantaneous health module configured to determine instantaneous health values for a refrigerated storage container based on parameters measured by sensors of a refrigeration system of the refrigerated storage container during a trip of the refrigerated storage container. A statistics module is configured to, after completion of the trip of the refrigerated storage container, determine statistical values based on the instantaneous health values determined for the trip. A health module is configured to determine an overall health value for the refrigerated storage container at the completion of the trip based on the statistical values and to store the overall health value for the refrigerated storage container in memory in association with a unique identifier of the refrigerated storage container.

Abstract: An air conditioning system of a vehicle having an internal combustion engine includes a condenser configured to receive refrigerant output by an electric compressor and transfer heat from the refrigerant within the condenser to air passing the condenser. A first evaporator is configured to receive refrigerant from the condenser when a first control valve is open and transfer heat from air passing the first evaporator to the refrigerant within the first evaporator. A first blower is configured to blow air across the first evaporator to a first section of a cabin of the vehicle. A second evaporator is configured to receive refrigerant from the condenser when a second control valve is open and transfer heat from air passing the second evaporator to the refrigerant within the second evaporator. A second blower is configured to blow air across the second evaporator to a second section of the cabin of the vehicle.

Abstract: A climate-control system may include a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a first sensor, a second sensor, a third sensor, and a control module. The compressor may include a motor and a compression mechanism. The condenser receives compressed working fluid from the compressor. The evaporator is in fluid communication with the compressor and disposed downstream of the condenser and upstream of the compressor. The first sensor may detect an electrical operating parameter of the motor. The second sensor may detect a discharge temperature of working fluid discharged by the compression mechanism. The third sensor may detect a suction temperature of working fluid between the evaporator and the compression mechanism. The control module is in communication with the first, second and third sensors and may determine whether a refrigerant floodback condition is occurring in the compressor based on data received from the first, second and third sensors.

Abstract: A system is provided and includes a first controller, a non-transitory computer-readable medium and a second controller. The first controller is configured to control operation of at least one compressor circuit including one or more compressors. The non-transitory computer-readable medium is configured to store instructions of a stage profiler for execution by the controller. The instructions include: determining a target system capacity profile for the at least one compressor circuit; determining system stage capacities for stages of the at least one compressor circuit; selecting some of the system stage capacities based on the target system capacity profile to provide an available system capacity profile; generating modulation information based on the available system capacity profile and a load request signal; and controlling operation of the one or more compressors based on the modulation information and according to the available system capacity profile.

Abstract: A system includes a compressor and a controller. The controller operates the compressor in a flooded-start control mode. The flooded start control mode includes operating the compressor according to at least one cycle including a first time period during which the compressor is on, followed by a second time period during which the compressor is off. The controller determines at least one of the first time period, the second time period, and a number of cycles for the flooded-start control mode. At least one of the first time period, the second time period, and the number of cycles is based on received asset data corresponding to at least one of a type and a characteristic of at least one component of the refrigeration system. The controller operates the compressor in the flooded-start control mode after determining the first time period, the second time period, and the number of cycles.

Abstract: Scroll compressor designs are provided to minimize vibration, sound, and noise transmission. The scroll compressor has a bearing housing, and orbiting and non-orbiting scroll members. The non-orbiting scroll member has a radially extending flanged portion with at least one aperture substantially aligned with the axially extending bore. At least one fastener is disposed within the aperture and the bore. A sound isolation member contacts at least one of the non-orbiting scroll member, the fastener, or the bearing housing, to reduce or eliminate noise transmission. The sound isolation member may be formed of a polymeric composite having an acoustic impedance value greater than the surrounding materials. The sound isolation member may be an annular washer, an O-ring, or a biasing member, by way of non-limiting example. In other variations, fluid passages are provided within the fastener and/or bearing housing to facilitate entry of lubricant oil to further dampen sound and noise.

Abstract: A monitoring system for a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system of a residential or commercial building includes an evaporator unit device and four temperature sensors. The evaporator unit device includes an electrical sensor that measures current supplied to a circulator blower of the HVAC system. The measured current from the first electrical sensor is used to diagnose a problem with the circulator blower. The first temperature sensor that measures a temperature of refrigerant flowing between a condenser of the HVAC system and an expansion valve of the HVAC system. The second temperature sensor measures a temperature of refrigerant flowing between an evaporator and a compressor. The third temperature sensor measures a temperature of air flowing away from the evaporator. The fourth temperature sensor measures a temperature of air flowing toward the evaporator. The evaporator unit device transmits sensor data to a remote monitoring service over a data network.
