Abstract: A refrigerant compressor for refrigeration plants having a compressor unit driven by a drive unit. At least one of the compressor and drive units has a control unit which is controllable by delivery rate control system to control the refrigerant compressor at different delivery rates. An external delivery rate setpoint value is communicated to the delivery rate control system to prevent critical operating states.
