Abstract: Comfort temperature and humidity levels in a conditioned space are controlled by cycling the speed of an evaporator fan motor in such a manner that, during time periods when higher sensible capacity is desired, the time in which the fan motor operates at a higher speed is increased, and during time periods when a higher latent capacity is desired, the time in which the fan motor operates at a lower speed is increased. The fan motor may be a single speed motor that is switched between on and off positions, or it may be a multiple speed motor that is cycled between a higher speed and a lower speed.

Abstract: To address the problem of lubricant entrainment within the refrigerant system components such as an evaporator and suction line, a control is provided to periodically, substantially and intermittently increase the refrigerant flow through these components to thereby carry the trapped lubricant back to the compressor. The increased flow of refrigerant can be accomplished by periodically throttling and then unthrottling either an expansion device or a suction modulation valve to cause instantaneous pressure buildup within a respective section of the vapor compression system and subsequent increase of the refrigerant flow through the above-referenced components such as an evaporator and suction line. Suggested time intervals of both the throttling and unthrottling states are provided, as well as the frequency of occurrence for subsequent oil return cycles.

Abstract: A pulse width modulation control is provided for a suction modulation valve in a refrigerant system. An intentional small “leakage” path is maintained through the suction modulation valve to ensure that the pressure inside the compressor shell does not decrease below a safe reliability threshold but, at the same time, does not exceed a certain value, which would cause the refrigerant system to operate inefficiently, when the pulse width modulation control has moved the suction modulation valve to a closed position. The size of this minimum “leakage” path is continuously adjusted to ensure that the optimum pressure inside the compressor shell is maintained regardless of the evaporator pressure and other operating conditions.

Abstract: A refrigerant system is provided that includes a compressor, a motor for driving the compressor, a refrigerant system component, and a controller. The refrigerant system component can operate in a pulse width modulated mode having a loaded phase and an unloaded phase. The compressor motor is loaded in the loaded phase but unloaded in the unloaded phase. The controller applies a first voltage to the compressor motor in the loaded phase and a second voltage to the compressor motor in the unloaded phase. Here, the second voltage is less than the first voltage.

Abstract: A pulse width modulation control is provided for a suction valve located on a suction line. When the flow rate through a refrigerant system needs to be reduced, the suction valve is rapidly cycled from an open position to a closed position. A bypass line connecting compressor discharge to compressor suction with a bypass valve and a discharge valve positioned on the discharge side of the compressor are also provided. When the control closes the suction valve, it also closes the discharge valve to prevent the refrigerant to backflow into the bypass line, and, at the same time, the control opens the bypass valve. Opening of the bypass valve reduces discharge pressure, leading to reduction in compressor power consumption and subsequent operating efficiency gain.

Abstract: A heat pump refrigerant system is provided with at least two sequential stages of compression. An intercooler is positioned intermediate the two stages. The refrigerant flowing through the intercooler. is cooled by a secondary fluid such as ambient air. The intercooler is positioned to be in a path of air flow passing over an outdoor heat exchanger, and preferably upstream of the outdoor heat exchanger, in relation to this air flow. Benefits with regard to efficiency and capacity are achieved due to proposed system configuration in both heating and cooling modes of operation, while no additional circuitry or components are required to provide the intercooler function for the heat pump refrigerant system. This invention is particularly important for the CO2 heat pump refrigerant systems operating in the transcritical cycle.
