    摘要: An object of the present invention is to prevent cavitation in a refrigerant pump from occurring due to a decrease in a net positive suction head in a cooling device.
    A cooling device of the present invention is a cooling device using a refrigeration cycle in which a refrigerant is circulated through a heat receiver (1), a compressor (2), a heat radiator (3), and an expander (4), and includes a tank (5) that separates the refrigerant supplied from the expander (4) into a gas phase refrigerant and a liquid phase refrigerant, a pump (6) that sends the liquid phase refrigerant separated in the tank (5) to the heat receiver (1), and a control unit (7) that controls the amount of increase in pressure of the compressor 2 in the refrigeration cycle, and the control unit (7) increases the pressure of the compressor (2) in a limited range in which the value of the net positive suction head of the pump (6) does not fall below a predetermined value.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are air conditioning systems including a refrigerant line configured to transport a refrigerant; a compressor in fluid communication with the suction line; and a controller in communication with a sensor configured to measure a characteristic of the refrigerant line. The compressor can be configured to move the refrigerant through the refrigerant line, and the refrigerant can have a first temperature at the outlet of the compressor. The controller can be configured to receive sensor data from the sensor indicating a current value associated with the characteristic of the refrigerant line; determine, based at least partially on the sensor data, that the characteristic of the refrigerant line is above a predetermined threshold; and output instructions for the compressor to perform one or more corrective actions.

    摘要: Examples of the present disclosure relate to climate control systems and outdoor units that use humidity measurements associated with the outdoor environment to improve the operation of one or more components. In some examples, an outdoor unit of a climate control system includes a housing, a compressor located within the housing that circulate a refrigerant fluid, and a humidity sensor that detects a humidity condition of an outdoor environment. The outdoor unit may further include control circuitry that controls the compressor by establishing a target parameter, where the target parameter is associated with a property of a refrigerant fluid. The control circuitry may further receive measurements associated with the humidity condition of the outdoor environment, adjust the target parameter based on the measurement, monitor the property of the refrigerant fluid, compare the monitored property to the adjusted target parameter, and adjust operation of the compressor based on the comparison.

    摘要: A refrigeration cycle device includes a compressor to compress refrigerant, a suction-side detector to detect a pressure of the refrigerant to be suctioned into the compressor, a discharge-side detector to detect a pressure of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor, and controlling circuitry that controls the compressor. When the ratio of a second pressure value detected by the discharge-side detector to a first pressure value detected by the suction-side detector is not between a predetermined upper limit and a predetermined lower limit, the controlling circuitry controls the compressor such that the ratio falls between the predetermined upper limit and the predetermined lower limit.

    摘要: A device management system for an inverter compressor is a device management system for an inverter compressor provided with a motor to be driven by an inverter, and includes: a partial discharge detector that detects a voltage of the motor to detect a partial discharge that occurs in the motor; and a determination module that determines whether there is a risk of occurrence of the partial discharge or whether the partial discharge occurs based on a result of detection by the partial discharge detector. When the voltage detected by the partial discharge detector is higher than a first threshold, the determination module determines that there is a risk of the occurrence of the partial discharge or the partial discharge occurs, and performs a protective operation to reduce the risk of the occurrence of the partial discharge in the motor or the occurrence of the partial discharge in the motor.
