Abstract: A control device for an electric compressor for use in a refrigeration cycle includes an inverter circuit and controller for outputting a driving signal to a DC motor. The controller is configured to set a specified constant rotating speed as a target rotating speed (Rt) of the DC motor (103) (SI), obtain an actual measurement rotating speed (Rm) which is a measurement value of a rotating speed of the DC motor (103) (S2), adjust a duty ratio of driving electric power of the DC motor (103) so that the actual measurement rotating speed (Rm) matches the target rotating speed (Rt) (S3), and newly set the target rotating speed based on a change in the duty ratio (S4).

Abstract: A compressor includes a main body having in a housing a vane back-pressure space configured to project a vane forming a compression room for compressing gas, and a centrifugal oil separator. A discharge section to which the gas from the oil separator is ejected is formed in the housing, and the oil separator includes a pressure-adjusting valve configured to adjust pressure of the vane back-pressure space according to pressure of the discharge section. The pressure-adjusting valve is arranged in the oil separator without being affected by the gas ejected from the oil separator.

Abstract: A method of controlling an electric compressor of the present invention, comprises the steps of: setting a specified constant rotating speed as a target rotating speed (Rt) of a DC motor (103) (S1); obtaining an actual measurement rotating speed (Rm) which is a measurement value of a rotating speed of the DC motor (103) (S2); adjusting a duty ratio of driving electric power of the DC motor (103) so that the actual measurement rotating speed (Rm) matches the target rotating speed (Rt) (S3); and newly setting the target rotating speed based on a change in the duty ratio (S4).

Abstract: A controller of a compressor of the present invention sets a time in a timer according to a motor current detected by a motor current detector. When a time has reached the time set in the timer, the rotating speed of a DC motor is increased. Therefore, control of the rotating speed according to a load can be achieved. When it is determined that a refrigerator load is great, the compressor is operated at a higher speed quickly, while when it is determined that the refrigerator load is smaller, the compressor is operated at a lower speed, which results in energy saving.

Abstract: An inverter control device controls the operation of a brushless DC motor selsorlessly. A driving controller of the inverter control device switches commutation of switching elements from control based on a position detection commutation signal to control based on a forced synchronization commutation signal if an output voltage of an inverter circuit section is equal to or greater than a preset threshold and a value of a rotational speed detected by the rotational speed detector is equal to or less than a reference value less than a target value of the rotational speed. The output voltage controller of the inverter control device changes the output voltage control signal based on a phase difference detected by a phase difference detector when the driving controller is controlling commutation of switching elements based on the forced synchronization commutation signal.
