Abstract
A system and method including a compressor operable in a refrigeration circuit and including a motor, a current sensor detecting current drawn by the motor and providing a high-side condition signal, a discharge line temperature sensor detecting a discharge line temperature of the compressor and providing a low-side condition signal, and processing circuitry processing the high-side condition signal and the low-side condition signal during installation of the compressor to initially configure the compressor based on a non-measured condition of the refrigeration circuit.
Claims28
A system comprising:
- a compressor operable in a refrigeration circuit and including a motor;
- a current sensor detecting current drawn by said motor and providing a high-side condition signal;
- a discharge line temperature sensor detecting a discharge line temperature of said compressor and providing a low-side condition signal;
- and
- processing circuitry processing said high-side condition signal and said low-side condition signal to determine a condenser temperature based on said high-side condition signal.
A method comprising:
- generating a high-side signal indicative of an operating condition of a high-pressure side of a refrigeration circuit;
- generating a low-side signal indicative of an operating condition of a low-pressure side of said refrigeration circuit;
- determining a condenser temperature based on said high-side signal;
- and
- configuring a compressor based on said condenser temperature.
A method comprising:
- generating a high-side signal indicative of an operating condition of a high-pressure side of a refrigeration circuit;
- generating a low-side signal indicative of an operating condition of a low-pressure side of said refrigeration circuit;
- processing said high-side signal and said low-side signal to indirectly determine a non-measured operating parameter of said refrigeration circuit;
- configuring a compressor based on said non-measured operating parameter;
- communicating said non-measured operating parameter to a system controller;
- and
- verifying said non-measured operating parameter determination received from said processing device.
