Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0482592A1] A compressor capacity control method and an apparatus therefor in which an on-off type control valve (2) provided at the inlet side of a compressor body (1) is made on or off for putting the compressor body (1) in a full load operational condition or in an unload operational condition, respectively; and the pressure (P) at the load side of the compressor (18) is detected (8), and when the detected pressure (P) reaches a predetermined upper pressure limit (Pmax), the on-off type control valve (2) is made off, thereby putting the compressor body (1) in an unload operational condition, while when the detected pressure (P) reaches a predetermined lower pressure limit (Pmin), the on-off type control valve (2) is made on, thereby putting the compressor body 1 in a full load operational condition, whereby a magnitude (q) of load at the load side of the compressor (18) is detected (21; 27c; 8b; 32, 33), and at least one of the upper pressure limit (Pmax) and the lower pressure limit (Pmin) is so changed as to make the on-off switching period ( DELTA t; DELTA t1) of said on-off control valve (2) not shorter than a predetermined value <MATH> <IMAGE>
