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.

Abstract: A system may include a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a first working fluid flow path, and a second working fluid flow path. The first heat exchanger receives working fluid discharged from the compressor. The first working fluid flow path may receive working fluid from the first heat exchanger and may include a second heat exchanger and a first control valve that is movable between a first position allowing fluid flow through the second heat exchanger and a second position restricting fluid flow through the second heat exchanger. The second working fluid flow path may receive working fluid from the first heat exchanger and may include a third heat exchanger and a second control valve that is movable between a first position allowing fluid flow through the third heat exchanger and a second position restricting fluid flow through the third heat exchanger.

Abstract: A system includes a compressor, an indoor fan, a thermostat, an indoor fan controller, and a compressor controller. The thermostat provides first and second signals based on indoor loading. The fan controller operates the fan in low speed mode and the compressor controller operates the compressor in low capacity mode when only the first signal is asserted. The compressor controller automatically switches the compressor to high capacity mode if only the first signal remains asserted past the low capacity mode runtime. The fan controller operates the fan in high speed mode when the second signal is asserted while the first signal is still asserted. The compressor controller continues to operate the compressor in high capacity mode and the fan controller operates the fan in low speed mode after the second signal is de-asserted, until the first signal is de-asserted, at which point the fan and compressor are turned off.

Abstract: A compressor may include a non-orbiting scroll, an orbiting scroll, a driveshaft and an Oldham coupling. The orbiting scroll meshingly engages the non-orbiting scroll. The driveshaft includes a crankpin engaging the orbiting scroll and driving the orbiting scroll in an orbital path relative to the non-orbiting scroll. The Oldham coupling may include an annular body and a plurality of first keys extending from the annular body and slidably received in slots formed in the orbiting scroll. Each of the first keys may include a first post and a first cap attached to the first post. The first posts may be integrally formed with the annular body from a first material. The first caps may be formed from a second material.

Abstract: A climate-control system may include first and second compressors, first and second suction valves, and a control module. The first and second compressors each include a shell and a compression mechanism. The shells define suction chambers from which the compression mechanisms draw working fluid. The shells include suction inlets through which working fluid is drawn into the suction chambers. The first suction valve may be movable between a fully open position and a partially closed position and may control a flow of working fluid through the first suction inlet. The second suction valve may be movable between a fully open position and a partially closed position and may control a flow of working fluid through the second suction inlet. The control module may control positions of the first and second suction valves to control lubricant levels in the first and second shells.

Abstract: A working-fluid circuit may include an indoor heat exchanger, a variable-capacity compressor and a control module. The variable-capacity compressor pumps working fluid through the indoor heat exchanger. The control module may control the compressor and operate the compressor in one of a first capacity mode and a second capacity mode based on a demand signal, outdoor-air-temperature data and a compressor runtime.
