Abstract: A method for controlling and adjusting the refrigeration capacities of a refrigeration system equipped with a double suction compressor, the refrigeration system including first and second compartments to be refrigerated and including first and second evaporators respectively positioned in the first and second compartments. The double suction compressor is controlled to alternate its compression capacity with high-frequency between first and second refrigerant suction lines respectively associated with the first and second evaporators such that the first and second compartments are simultaneously cooled. The compression capacity of the compressor is applied to the first and second suction lines based upon respective first and second duty cycles that together account for 100 percent of the compression capacity of the compressor. First and second temperature sensors are associated with the first and second compartments and provide temperature values that are used to select the first and second duty cycles.

Abstract: The present invention refers to methods for controlling a double suction compressor for application in refrigeration systems, capable of meeting the different demands for cost, efficiency and control of temperatures by means of techniques of complexity levels and different configurations of the elements from the control loop (temperature sensors, actuators, controllers, etc.).

Abstract: The present invention refers to a system and method for checking the operational status of alternative compressor valve and more particularly for checking operational status of electrically commanded valves, provided in alternative compressors used in refrigeration systems. In accordance with the present invention, said operational checking system of alternative compressor valve comprises a data processing core (5) capable of estimating one among two possible operations statuses of said metal valve (1) by varying at least one electric parameter provided by said sensor (4), wherein said step of estimating one among two possible operational statuses of said metal valve (1) is effected on the basis of the results from the comparison between said signal of electric parameter from sensor (4) and the predetermined range of data analogous to the electric parameter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the fields of power electronics and electric motors, and describes a system for correcting harmonic content in power systems. The invention solves the space and weight problem, associated with the core of an inductor for correcting harmonic content, also providing performance advantages of electric motors, such as higher available voltage at maximum load and higher rotational speed at maximum load. The invention is particularly useful in refrigeration compressors.

Abstract: System and method of remotely connecting and disconnecting an auxiliary power supply of the frequency inverter for variable capacity compressors employed in cooling systems. The inverter includes a circuit breaker that when it receives an external signal to activate the auxiliary power supply indicating that the auxiliary supply should be connected, the circuit breaker enables the auxiliary power supply, which activates the inverter. The inverter begins sending, continually, the internal maintenance signal to activate the auxiliary supply to the circuit breaker indicating that the auxiliary supply should be kept running, making the circuit breaker maintain the auxiliary power supply enabled.
