    摘要: Methods and systems consistent with this invention detect a failed short thyristor in a solid-state controller for delivering power to a load during reduced-voltage operation. Methods and systems consistent with this invention detect a voltage across the thyristor, and indicate a failed short thyristor when the absolute value of the voltage across the thyristor remains below a threshold value during a predetermined period of time. Methods and systems consistent with this invention detect a failed open thyristor in a solid-state controller during full-voltage operation. Methods and systems consistent with this invention detect a voltage across the thyristor, and indicate a failed open thyristor when the absolute value of the voltage across the thyristor exceeds a threshold value.

    摘要: A freeze point protection method and system is provided for water cooled chillers. The method prevents freezing of chilled water and damage to the chiller. The method allows the evaporator temperature to drop below a freezing temperature for a predetermined amount of time prior to shutting down the chiller. The temperature of the refrigerant in the water chiller is periodically sensed. The amount of time that the chiller is below a predetermined freezing temperature is periodically counted and compared with a determined maximum time that the chiller may operate at a sensed temperature below the predetermined freezing temperature without damaging the chiller. The method will shut down the water chiller if the counted time exceeds the determined maximum time. A system for shutting down a water cooled chiller to prevent freezing of chilled water is also provided.

    摘要: A heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) control system and method for controlling a device, a subsystem, and/or a process using a flash mini-card. Preferably, the present invention is directed to an HVAC control system and method for controlling a chiller and the devices and subsystems associated with the chiller using a flash mini-card. More preferably, the present invention obviates the need for the HVAC control system and method to use at least one of the following: a hard disk, a disk controller, a card reader, or a card controller. The method includes, for example, applying power to the HVAC control system, wherein the step of applying power initiates a boot-up of a processor associated with the HVAC control system; reading a default memory location, wherein the contents of the default memory location direct the processor to a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) connected to the processor through a bus; configuring the processor associated with the HVAC control system by executing a set of BIOS instructions within the BIOS, wherein after the step of configuring, the processor reads a set of boot instructions that directs the processor to the flash mini-card containing a set of instructions; and performing at least one of the set of instructions contained within the flash mini-card to control the HVAC system using the HVAC control system.

    摘要: Nonuniformities in the pixel of a CCD are corrected by storing a correction value for every pixel of the CCD. The pixel values from the CCD are transferred to a multiplier. The correction values are also transferred to the multiplier in synchronization with the transfer of the pixel values. The correction values and the pixel values are multiplied to produce a corrected pixel value for every pixel of the CCD. The corrected pixel values are transferred to an image processor for appropriate data processing.

    摘要: Methods and systems consistent with this invention control a hot gas bypass valve in a refrigeration system including a centrifugal compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a hot gas bypass line between the compressor and the evaporator. Such methods and systems continuously sense for a surge condition during operation of the refrigeration system, indicate a surge condition when the refrigeration system is operating under surge conditions, and open at least partially the hot gas bypass valve in response to the sensed surge condition to return the refrigeration system to operating under non-surge conditions. Methods and systems consistent with this invention also sense a present head parameter representative of the present head of the compressor, sense a present load parameter representative of the present load, and control the hot gas bypass valve so as to avoid surging in the compressor in response to the present head parameter, the present load parameter, and stored head and load parameters.
