  • Patent number: 10208991
    Abstract: A heat pump device includes an inverter control unit for controlling an inverter. The inverter control unit includes a constraint-energization control unit that, during operation standby of a compressor, determines whether heating to the compressor is necessary, on the basis of a refrigeration stagnation amount in the compressor, and, when having determined that heating to the compressor is necessary, selects, according to the refrigeration stagnation amount, any one of direct-current energization for supplying a direct-current voltage to the motor and high-frequency energization for supplying a high-frequency voltage having a frequency higher than a frequency during a normal operation to the motor, so as to output a constraint energization command for carrying out constraint energization of the motor; and a driving-signal generating unit that generates a driving signal on the basis of the constraint energization command.

  • Patent number: 9829234
    Abstract: A heat pump device includes an inverter control unit outputting PWM signals to an inverter; a current detection unit detecting a current value flowing in the inverter and outputting the current value after reducing a current value having a first frequency or higher in detected current value; and a drive-signal stop unit that, when the current value output from the current detection unit is equal to or larger than an interruption level, stops output of PWM signals to the inverter. Particularly, the inverter control unit generates a voltage command value such that the voltage command value becomes a value equal to or larger than a lower limit determined according to the first frequency and generates PWM signals based on generated voltage command value and a carrier signal, thereby causing a voltage output time to the motor to be a predetermined time or longer.

    Abstract: A heat pump device includes an inverter control unit for controlling an inverter. The inverter control unit includes a constraint-energization control unit that, during operation standby of a compressor, determines whether heating to the compressor is necessary, on the basis of a coolant sleeping amount in the compressor, and, when having determined that heating to the compressor is necessary, selects, according to the coolant sleeping amount, any one of direct-current energization for supplying a direct-current voltage to the motor and high-frequency energization for supplying a high-frequency voltage having a frequency higher than a frequency during a normal operation to the motor, so as to output a constraint energization command for carrying out constraint energization of the motor; and a driving-signal generating unit that generates a driving signal on the basis of the constraint energization command.
