Abstract:
A motor-driven compressor includes a three-phase motor including a rotor, a housing, a compression unit, a drive circuit, and a controller. The drive circuit includes u-phase upper and lower arm switching elements, v-phase upper and lower arm switching elements, and w-phase upper and lower arm switching elements. The controller performs a deceleration control in response to the rotor being rotating in a direction opposite to the forward direction. The controller controls the drive circuit in a switching control mode that includes a first mode, in which one or more switching elements of the upper and lower arm switching elements of the three phases are activated while the remaining switching elements are deactivated, and a second mode, which differs from the first mode in a combination of the activated and deactivated switching elements.
Abstract:
Method for controlling one or more vacuum generators (1) and thereby the vacuum in a vacuum sewage system, in particular controlling one or more liquid ring screw pumps in such system, including beyond the generator/s (1) one or more tubular collectors or suction pipelines (2) connected to the vacuum generator and one or more toilets, urinals, grey water sinks etc (3, 4), connected to the suction pipeline through branch pipelines (6). The rotational speed of the vacuum generator (1) is controlled on the basis of the set vacuum requirement.
Abstract:
A motor-driven compressor is provided with a motor including a rotor, a housing including an inlet through which low-pressure refrigerant serving as a low-pressure fluid is drawn in, a compression unit that compresses the low-pressure refrigerant and discharges compressed high-pressure fluid, an inverter that drives the motor, and a controller that controls the inverter. If the rotor is activating in a reverse direction that is opposite to a forward direction when activating the motor, the controller obtains a position of a d-axis of the rotor and controls the inverter so that current flows to the obtained d-axis and so that frequency of current flowing to the motor decreases as time elapses.
Abstract:
A method for regulating the temperature at an outlet channel of a compressor or a vacuum element, comprising providing a pressure regulating valve on a influence channel, said influence channel being in direct fluid communication with the compressor or vacuum element, said valve regulating the pressure within the compressor or vacuum element by adjusting the volume of fluid flowing between a process channel and the compressor or vacuum element relative to the difference between the pressure value within said compressor or vacuum element and a set pressure value, and comprises starting the compressor or vacuum element and starting a pre-purge cycle by connecting the inlet channel to a supply of a purge gas for a preselected time interval; connecting the influence channel to a process channel; and disconnecting the inlet channel from the process channel, for maintaining a set temperature within the vacuum element for a selected time interval.

An embodiment of method used to control operation of a screw compressor of a refrigeration system may include receiving status signals regarding operation of the screw compressor of the refrigeration system. The method may further include determining an operating point of the screw compressor based upon the received status signals, and selecting a torque profile for the screw compressor based upon the operating point. The method may also include driving the screw compressor per the selected torque profile. Refrigeration systems and compressor systems suitable for implementing the method are also presented.
Abstract:
A system and method for a compressor includes a compressor connected to a condenser, a discharge line temperature sensor that outputs a discharge line temperature signal corresponding to a discharge line temperature of refrigerant leaving the compressor, and a control module connected to the discharge line temperature sensor. The control module determines a saturated condenser temperature, calculates a discharge superheat temperature based on the saturated condenser temperature and the discharge line temperature, and monitors a flood back condition of the compressor by comparing the discharge superheat temperature with a predetermined threshold. The control module increases a speed of the compressor when the discharge superheat temperature is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold.
