Digital scroll System

Principle

Digital scroll compressor is the constant compressor and refrigerant bypass type. It means that even on the partial load, Compressor rotates continuously with fixed RPM and refrigerant just goes back to suction pipe without compression. COP is too low. However Inverter compressor controls the RPM of motor on the partial load.

Working

The cycle of Loading / Unloading as shown below repeats according to operation rate. Efficiency is very low on the partial load because of invalid working.

Working

Unloading means that when engine cycles 2000 RPM, and then suddenly the clutch pedal is released. It is like idling of an engine. You can hear the high level idling noise. In case of digital scroll compressor, high frequency noise occurs during unloading time.

Reliability of Solenoid valve

Issues

Owing to the often on/off of solenoid valve, the reliability can be decreased by time. Solenoid valve is a mechanical part. It can be damaged by abrasion or clogging. Operation of s/valve Reliability of Valve

Unloading

* S/valve must be on/off 1 time in 20 sec except full operation * During 12hr/day for 2 year operation,
s/valve repeats on/off almost 1.6 million times.

* the durability of general valve is 1~2 millions.

Reliability of compressor

Issues

Scroll compressor is a high precision assembly. As repeating on/off of s/valve, upper fixed scroll would repeat as well. As a result, reliability and capability will decrease due to abrasion of equipment.

System control method

Control

In order to control the cycle of Loading & Unloading, every 2seconds increases until 20 seconds. Total is 11 steps. After all, not linear control, step control.
