OPERATION AND CONTROL OF TANDEM COMPRESSORS AND REHEAT FUNCTION

摘要

A refrigerant system control operates tandem compressors. If one of the monitored system conditions does not change as each of the tandem compressors or associated components is brought on line, then a determination is made that the respective component is malfunctioning. A refrigerant system can also be additionally equipped with other functions and components, such as variable speed drive, economizer circuit, unloader bypass, and reheat circuit. In case of a reheat circuit, the system can consist of single or multiple compressors. The control algorithm can also be updated such that that particular malfunctioning component is eliminated from the operational sequence.
