摘要:
A system and method for controlling a compressor (1) is provided that prevents the piston (5) of the compressor from colliding against the valve system (8, 9) provided therein. The system and method of the present invention control the stroke of the piston (5), allowing the piston (5) to advance as far as the end of its mechanical stroke in extreme conditions of load, without allowing the piston (5) to collide with the valve system (8,9). The present invention controls the compressor (1) by measuring a movement time of the piston (5); comparing the movement time with a foreseen movement time; and altering the voltage (Vm) if the first movement time is different from the foreseen movement time, the foreseen movement time being such that the movement of the piston (5) will reach a maximum point (M).

摘要:
A method for controlling and protecting electric motors, specially permanent magnet motors electronically actuated by a control system. The system includes a three-phase inverting bridge, in which the position of the rotor can be monitored by using a position detector physically attached to the axle or through the tension induced in the coils by the magnet, in order to correctly control actuation by the control system. The present invention is also directed to a system for controlling electric motors and an electric motor system. The system includes continuously reading the position detector until a minimum expected time has passed. After the minimum expected time has passed, there is continuous reading of the position detector until a maximum expected time has passed to detect if a position change of the rotor is sensed.

摘要:
A linear compressor control system includes an electronic circuit controlling an electric motor that drive a piston of the compressor, such that the motor is operated intermittently with an on-time (tL) and an off-time (tD) to keep the compression capacity of the compressor substantially constant. The compressor is associated with a closed cooling circuit having an evaporator and a condenser. The off-time (tD) is shorter than the time necessary for the evaporation pressure (PE) in the evaporator and the condensation pressure (Pc) in the condenser to equalize each other after the compressor has been turned off.
