Patent number: 9447984Abstract: A control parameters adjustment method of an air conditioning system has the following steps: (a) building up a comparison table; (b) determining an objective output power; (c) determining whether there is only one preferred operation point by searching the comparison table; (d) when there is only one preferred operation point, adjusting the control parameters based on the preferred operation point; (e) when there are a plurality of preferred operation points, executing a retrieval procedure for selecting one of the preferred operation points, and adjusting the control parameters based on the selected preferred operation point. The method adjusts the control parameters according to the comparison table for ensuring that the air conditioning system can be operated with the minimum power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2013Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: AUTOMOTIVE RESEARCH & TESTING CENTERInventors: Po-Hsu Lin, Yen-Ting Cheng, Hong-Chi Wang

Patent number: 9417638Abstract: An intelligent thermostatic method for an air conditioner blowing cold and hot air has steps of calculating an estimated thermal load according to an indoor temperature, an outdoor temperature, a configured temperature, a sunlight intensity, and a cooling/heating capacity corresponding to the estimated thermal load; adjusting the air conditioner according to the estimated thermal load and providing an estimated cooling/heating capacity; and determining a difference value between an actual cooling/heating capacity and the estimated cooling/heating capacity and adjusting the air conditioner according to the difference value for thermostatic control. Accordingly, the air conditioner of the present invention has enhanced power utilization efficiency of the air conditioner without having to repeatedly turn on and off the electric compressor of the air conditioner.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: AUTOMOTIVE RESEARCH & TESTING CENTERInventors: Yen-Ting Cheng, Po-Hsu Lin
