  • Patent number: 8417387
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control system for operating a cooling system comprising components at least including a compressor (2), an evaporator (3), a pressure control element (6) and a condenser (4), and also having a control circuit (9) having electrical connections with at least some cooling system components, through which the control circuit (9) continually measures and stores, over time intervals, electrical operating variables of the cooling system, the control circuit establishes interrelationships among at least some measured values and some stored values of the electrical operating variables of the cooling system and generates a control signal for the cooling system based on at least some measured values and stored values of the electrical operating variables and on the interrelationships established among at least some measured and stored values of the electrical operating variables of the cooling system.

  • Patent number: 7471058
    Abstract: A starting device and starting method for a single-phase induction motor, housing: a stator having a running coil and a starting coil; a running switch and a starting switch which is conducted to an open condition upon completion of the motor start. The starting device includes: a starting circuit including a control unit which receives, from a current sensor, signals representative of the current level being supplied to the stator, the control unit being connected to the running and the starting switches, for instruction the open and closed conditions thereof; the open condition of the starting switch being defined when the ratio between the present current level supplied to the stator and the starting current level, upon the closing of the starting and the running switches, reaches a predetermined value.
