20120301323 | APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING COMPRESSOR - An apparatus for controlling a compressor is provided. When grounding the apparatus for controlling a compressor, an analogue circuit ground and a digital circuit ground may be insulated from each other to protect the apparatus. A ground of an analogue circuit driven by commercial alternating current (AC) power, and a ground of a digital circuit driven by a voltage which has been converted from commercial AC power, may also be insulated from each other by a simple circuit device to protect a controller inside the digital circuit. | 11-29-2012 |
20120315153 | MACHINE INCLUDING COMPRESSOR CONTROLLING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A machine includes at least two compressors that is controlled by a compressor controlling apparatus. By using an inverter for the at least two compressors, the use of elements is minimized and the compressor capacity may be increased, and the operation efficiency of the system may be enhanced. As an example, a plurality of operation modes may be used according to a load or cooling capacity of the two compressors. The two compressors are separately or simultaneously operated by using the inverter, thus simplifying the configuration of the system, and reducing cost. | 12-13-2012 |
20130189075 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMPRESSOR - There is disclosed herein a compressor control apparatus, and a compressor control method. According to the present disclosure, the compressor may be operated in an operation mode in which commercial power applied to the compressor does not pass through an alternating current capacitor when the load is in an overload state, thereby preventing the loss of a drive and effectively reducing the copper and core loss of the compressor. Furthermore, according to the present disclosure, the entire power consumption may be reduced due to the loss reduction of a drive, thereby improving the energy efficiency, and reducing the harmonic components for generating the same stroke even when an alternating current (AC) capacitor is provided therein. | 07-25-2013 |
20130192294 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMPRESSOR, AND REFRIGERATOR HAVING THE SAME - A compressor control apparatus and method, and a refrigerator including the same, are provided. In a refrigerator having two compressors, starting of two compressors may be staggered to reduce an effect of the suction pressure and discharge pressure between the two compressors, to provide for stable operation of the compressors, and improve reliability and power consumption. | 08-01-2013 |
20130195612 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A COMPRRESSOR - An apparatus and method for controlling a compressor are provided. A motor current flowing in a compressor may be calculated from voltage values of a capacitor without using a sensor, and as a motor current value is calculated by changing voltage values of the capacitor according to voltage values of a drive and performing a definite integral thereon, the motor current value may be resistant to noise, and the compressor may be more stably controlled. | 08-01-2013 |
20130195613 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A COMPRESSOR - An apparatus and method for controlling a compressor are provided. An input voltage of a commercial power source, a motor voltage of a compressor motor, and a motor current of the compressor motor are detected, based on which voltage values of a capacitor and voltage values of a triac may be calculated. Thus, an additional operational amplifier or a sensor to measure a capacitor voltage is not required, reducing costs. | 08-01-2013 |
20130195677 | APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING COMPRESSOR AND REFRIGERATOR HAVING THE SAME - A compressor control apparatus, and a refrigerator including the same are provided. Operation of two compressors may be controlled using one inverter, thereby reducing a number of components, increasing compressor capacity, and enhancing operation efficiency of the system. Commonly used switching elements may be switched at an operating frequency, allowing the simultaneous operation of two compressors, reducing switching losses, and improving the efficiency and stability of the system. | 08-01-2013 |
20130195678 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMPRESSOR, AND REFRIGERATOR HAVING THE SAME - A compressor control apparatus, and a refrigerator including the same are provided. The operation of two compressors may be controlled using an alternating current (AC) switch, thereby minimizing a number of components, as well as increasing compressor capacity and enhancing operation efficiency. A plurality of operation modes may be used to correspond to a load or freezing capacity using two compressors, and the two compressors may be operated in a separate or simultaneous manner using a drive including two (AC) switches, thereby simplifying the configuration of the system. | 08-01-2013 |
