Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008041996A1] A refrigerant system is provided with a compressor having a motor that is operable at least at two distinct speeds. The pulse width modulation control is provided to cycle a compressor motor operation between its at least two speeds at a specific rate to exactly match thermal load demands in a conditioned space. The present invention reduces cycling and other efficiency losses as have been experienced in the prior art, as well as minimizes cost and may improve reliability. Also, the present invention can be utilized in conjunction with other known unloading techniques.
