Abstract

A compressor temperature protection module and protection system thereof, wherein the module includes an automatic temperature sensing switch that senses a first temperature in a compressor and a passive temperature sensing switch that senses a second temperature on the compressor. When the passive temperature sensing switch senses the second temperature is greater than a second default value, the passive temperature sensing switch automatically severs a connection between a direct current (DC) power source and a processor module. When the automatic temperature sensing switch senses the first temperature within the compressor is greater than a first default value, the automatic temperature sensing switch automatically severs a connection between the compressor and a power supply. Afterwards, when the first temperature becomes less than the first default value, the automatic temperature sensing switch electrically connects to the control switch of the control module.
