Patent number: 10495364Abstract: A method controls a vapor compression system including a variable speed compressor. A desired discharge temperature of the compressor is determined using a mapping between values of the discharge temperature of the compressor and values of speed of the compressor and outdoor air temperature. A transition function for transitioning a current discharge temperature to the desired discharge temperature is determined, such that the transition function is continuous and a rate of change of the transition function is limited. Next, a valve of the vapor compression system is controlled such that the discharge temperature is transitioned to the desired discharge temperature based on the transition function.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Daniel J Burns, Christopher R.
