    摘要: A method of controlling a refrigerant chiller system is particularly suited for chillers where the water being chilled (or some other liquid) flows through the chiller's evaporator at a flow rate that is variable and is not directly known. To effectively control the chiller and maintain the temperature of the water leaving the evaporator at a desired target temperature, the cooling capacity of the chiller's evaporator is estimated based the degree of valve opening of an expansion valve, a pressure differential across the expansion valve, and a change in enthalpy per unit mass of the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator. In some embodiments, the chiller system includes multiple refrigerant circuits that are hermetically isolated from each other.

    摘要: A method of controlling compressor minimum capacity. The method comprises the steps of: measuring a first condition; comparing the first condition to a first setpoint to determine a first conditioned error; modulating compressor capacity relative to the first condition error; measuring a second condition; comparing the second condition to a second setpoint to determine a second condition error; and modulating compressor capacity relative to the second condition error if the magnitude of the second conditioned error is greater than the magnitude of the first conditioned error.

    摘要: Two vertically offset thermistors for sensing a fluid such as oil and refrigerant in a compressor shell are monitored by a method that takes into account rapidly changing conditions within the shell. The system can determine the fluid's sump temperature, high/low liquid levels, and can determine whether the thermistors are sensing the fluid as a liquid, gas, or a mixture of the two, such as a foam or mist of liquid and gas. For greater accuracy, thermistor readings can be dithered and filtered to provide temperature or voltage values having more significant digits than the readings originally processed through a limited-bit A/D converter. For faster response, limited microprocessor time is conserved by sampling thermistor readings at strategic periods that enable the microprocessor to identify certain conditions and temperatures via simple delta-temperature ratios and undemanding equations rather than resorting to exponential functions or lookup tables to determine time constants.

    摘要: In a system for refrigeration and air conditioning including a microprocessor based electronic controller and an electronic expansion valve responsive to the controller, a fault determination test method for discovering operational faults in the controller and the valve. The test method further determines whether the failure is due to the valve or the controller to minimize servicing time by providing test results applicable to a logic table which indicates the failed component and the action to be taken by the service technician.
