  • System and method of controlling a variable-capacity compressor
    Patent number: 10436490
    Abstract: A working-fluid circuit may include an indoor heat exchanger, a variable-capacity compressor and a control module. The variable-capacity compressor pumps working fluid through the indoor heat exchanger. The control module may control the compressor and operate the compressor in one of a first capacity mode and a second capacity mode based on a demand signal, outdoor-air-temperature data and a compressor runtime.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 29, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 8, 2019
    Assignee: Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Hung M. Pham, Shane J. Angle, Edward J. Trudeau, Jr., Chetan Sowani
  • System and method of controlling a variable-capacity compressor
    Patent number: 10371426
    Abstract: A climate-control system may include a variable-capacity compressor unit and a control module controlling the compressor unit. The compressor unit may be operable in a first capacity mode and in a second capacity mode that is higher than the first capacity mode. The control module may be configured to switch the compressor unit among a shutdown state, the first capacity mode and the second capacity mode based on a demand signal and outdoor-air-temperature data.

  • Scroll machine having improved discharge valve assembly
    Patent number: 8052406
    Abstract: A valve retainer is provided for securably retaining a discharge valve assembly within a recess formed in a scroll. The valve retainer can be installed between the recess of the non-orbital scroll and the discharge valve assembly to retain the discharge valve assembly at the recess. The valve retainer can include a ring-like body having inwardly and/or outwardly extending tangs for cooperating with structure formed on the respective valve and the recess of the non-orbital scroll.
