INTEGRATED MULTIPLE POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORT REFRIGERATION UNITS

摘要

The invention relates to an electrical subsystem to power a vehicle refrigeration system. The electrical subsystem includes an AC drive electrically coupled to a high voltage DC bus. The AC drive provides “refrigeration compressor AC power” responsive to a cooling demand. The electrical subsystem also includes a “low voltage DC bus”. The low voltage DC bus powers a plurality of low voltage refrigeration components including refrigeration fans. A microcontroller sets the compressor AC voltage and the compressor AC frequency. A method of preventing vehicle refrigeration system compressor stall includes the step of limiting the electrical AC power to the compressor such that the AC voltage does not droop causing a compressor stall. Also, an electrical subsystem for powering a compressor in a vehicle refrigeration system includes “V/f” operating information for the compressor, and a microcontroller commands the AC voltage and the AC frequency to the compressor.
