Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling dehumidification of an airflow to be conditioned for supply to a climate controlled space. The airflow to be conditioned is passed over a plurality of refrigerant conveying conduits of an evaporator of a refrigerant vapor compression thereby cooling the airflow. A controller operates the refrigeration vapor compression system to maintain the airflow at a set point air temperature indicative of a desired temperature within the climate controlled space. The controller also adjusts an evaporator expansion device for controlling the flow of refrigerant through the evaporator so as to reduce the temperature of the refrigerant within the refrigerant conveying conduits of the evaporator whenever further dehumidification of the air flow to be conditioned is desired.

Abstract:
A transport refrigeration system is provided with a variable speed compressor which is operated only in the low capacity perishable range of operation. In this way, the line voltage and frequency power can be used during high capacity operation and a relatively small inverter can be used to provide variable voltage and frequency for the variable speed operation. The variable voltage and frequency can also be provided to a variable speed condenser motor to provide additional condensing capacity during economized operation. It can also be used to provide DC voltage to the compressor for heating purposes.
