A centrifugal compressor's flow and pressure are typically controlled by a combination of an inlet control device and unloading valve (UV). If the mating scroll members of a scroll compressor are separated axially, there will be no refrigerant gas compressed and only 10 percent power usage will be realized. Controlling the mechanical axial load is achieved when the solenoid valve is energized. 0000002763 00000 n

A pulse width modulation (PWM) bypass capacity control technique for air conditioners has been developed to achieve high scroll compressor efficiency over a wide capacity range, and we investigated the technique’s fundamental characteristics in this study. Centrifugal compressors are dynamic and each has a characteristic curve of rising pressure as capacity decreases. Featuring an integral controller with a time-averaging sequence, the rate at which the scrolls are engaged and disengaged varies to match the required cooling capacity. Capacity modulation can reduce power and energy consumption, provide better dehumidification, reduce compressor cycling, decrease the starting load, and provide good oil return if properly piped. Advanced technologies for compressor capacity control can provide flexibility and save massive amounts of energy, but it can be difficult to achieve precise control.
