- FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention in which the temperature measuring unit 7 on the housing 8 of
- the housing 8 of the refrigerant compressor 2 may be, for example, a hermetically encapsulated housing 8, which is a
- Housing lower part 8a and a housing upper part 8b includes.
- the housing lower part 8a and a housing upper part 8b includes.
- Housing lower part 8a whereas the reference numeral 7 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ denotes a dashed illustrated alternative mounting position on a post of the refrigerant compressor 2.
- Refrigerant compressor 2 stored, predefined
- Characteristic K v is controlled and the at least one predefined parameter K v is monitored for overshoot and / or undershooting by a current characteristic K a of a current cooling cycle C Ka .
- the at least one predefined parameter K v is the duration of a cooling cycle C K.
- the current running time and the actual duration of the cooling cycle C K are monitored by the electronic control device 6.
- FIG. 3 three operating cycles C 1, C 2, C 3 are shown by way of example which show different rotational speed characteristics of the engine
- Operating cycle C is made up of one each
- Refrigerant compressor 2 during a cooling cycle C K is in operation and forcibly circulated refrigerant for cooling the cooling volume 4 by the refrigerant system.
- the refrigerant compressor 2 is switched without drive and there is essentially no cooling of the cooling volume 4th
- the first cooling cycle C K i is initiated at the time ti by the triggered by the thermostat 3 switching signal, wherein the refrigerant compressor 2 of the electronic
- Control device 6 is set in an ON state.
- the thermostat 3 triggers the switching signal when a deviation of the temperature level of the cooling volume 4 is detected from a predetermined temperature level, which suggests a cooling demand in the cooling volume 4, so that the cooling volume. 4
- Refrigeration must be supplied through the refrigerant compressor 2. In the present case, at the time ti exceeding the predetermined temperature level of
- variable speed refrigerant compressor 2 is set in the ON state, it is operated at a start speed vi.
- time t 2 which corresponds to the predefined duration of the cooling cycle C K i, the predetermined temperature level in the cooling volume 4 has not yet been reached, and the thermostat 3 has accordingly not triggered a switching signal to the
- Cooling volume 4 of the electronic control device 6 is not known, the speed v by a predetermined value, for example, 10%, 20%, 30% or 50%, the current
- Speed vi increased to a first increased speed v 2 . This ensures that the refrigeration demand in the cooling volume 4 can be covered more quickly, or at very high refrigeration demand at all, or the refrigeration cycle C K can be terminated quickly.
- time t 4 receives the electronic control device 6 triggered by the thermostat 3 further switching signal, which signals that the refrigeration demand in the cooling volume 4 is satisfied and the temperature within the cooling volume 4 is within the necessary for cooling predefined temperature levels. Due to the further switching signal, the electronic control device 6 sets the refrigerant compressor 2 in the OFF state, whereby the second idle cycle C R2 is triggered.
- the elapsed time between times ti and t 4 time corresponds to the actual duration Ki of the first
- the electronic control device 6 goes from an increased refrigeration demand in the subsequent cooling cycle C K 2.
- the latter can be the case in particular if cooling cycles C K already exist before the cooling cycle C K i whose duration was longer than the predefined running time K v .
- the increased starting speed v 4 can correspond, for example, to the last speed v of the preceding cooling cycle C K i or as the mean value of the speeds vi, v 2 , v 3 of the preceding ones
- Cooling cycle C K i be calculated.
- Control device 6 triggered by the thermostat 3 more
- refrigeration cycle C K 2 is less than the predefined
- Cooling cycle C3 match, so that the refrigeration needs of Cooling is achieved within the volume 4 predefined duration K v with the speed vi.
- the third cooling cycle C K 3 a particularly energy-saving operation of
- Refrigerant compressor 2 reached.
- Control device 6 corresponds to the preset speed control, which is designed to allow over the entire operating time of the refrigerant compressor 2 as energy-optimized operation.
- the refrigeration system 1 undergoes a defrosting in predetermined, usually periodic, intervals.
- the evaporator 5a for example, over it provided
- Heating elements heated to remove formed in the cooling volume 4 in the region of the evaporator 5a frost or ice layers.
- at least the refrigerant in the evaporator 5a is also heated.
- the defrost is triggered in a rest cycle C R , so that the
- Refrigerant compressor 2 is in the OFF state during defrosting. During defrosting is no
- Refrigerant compressor 2 is set in the ON state. Only after the end of the defrosting the thermostat triggers the 3
- the disadvantages of the prior art will be explained with reference to the speed behavior depicted in FIG.
- the first two cooling cycles C K i, C K 2 run, as previously described, after the default speed control.
- the two cooling cycles C K i, C K 2 are shown as such operating cycles in which the predefined duration K v of the actual duration Ki, K 2 corresponds and the refrigerant compressor 2 with the
- Cooling cycle C K 2 following third rest cycle C R 3 is a Defrosting process, marked as DEFROST in the figure, triggered.
- the thermostat 3 After the end of the defrosting operation, the thermostat 3 triggers the switching signal and the refrigerant compressor 2 is set in the ON state. Since the electronic control device 6 of the refrigerant compressor 2 of the simple refrigeration system 1 does not receive any control signal, which on a
- Controlled default speed control and a third cooling cycle C K 3 started. This starts with the start speed vi. As soon as the current time exceeds the predefined duration K v , the speed v of the refrigerant compressor 2 is increased to the first increased speed v 2 . Because the actual duration of the third
- Cooling cycle C K 3 also exceeds the limits of the predefined duration K v i / K v2 , K v3 , the speed v increases stepwise to the increased speeds v 3 , v 4 and finally to a maximum speed v max . Only after crossing the third
- Refrigerant compressor 2 pulled to a lower temperature level.
- Cooling cycle C K 4 in the third cooling cycle C K3 is the same as the cooling cycle C K 4 .
- Refrigerant compressor 2 operated in the previously described case with a too high for the cooling demand of the cooling volume 4 speed.
- Control device 6 of the refrigerant compressor 2 at least one comparison parameter P v stored and overshoot or undershooting of the comparison parameter P v is monitored by a current parameter value P a to detect a previous defrosting.
- the comparison parameter is a comparison duration P v of FIG. 5
- Refrigerated compressor 2 stored variables is controlled, it is possible the refrigerant compressor 2 immediately after the end of defrosting at a high speed v, in the present case already with the maximum speed v max to operate.
- a high cooling capacity in particular a maximum
- Cooling capacity available from the refrigerant compressor
- Speed v 4 is driven before the refrigerant compressor 2 has been accelerated to the maximum speed v max.
- v max There are basically any progressive, degressive or
- the starting speed v s of the subsequent third cooling cycle C K 3 is not by the
- Figure 6 shows a second embodiment of the
- the load L of the refrigerant compressor 2 by measuring the
- a cooling cycle C K controlled by means of the preset speed control starts.
- the current load L is measured continuously and a current average load L m calculated over the duration of the start phase of the cooling cycle C K , This current average load L m is then measured as currently measured parameter value P a with that in the electronic control device 6 of
- Refrigerant compressor 2 stored comparison parameter P v compared. Since due to the heating of the refrigerant in the evaporator 5a during the defrosting process and / or due to the high refrigeration demand of the cooling volume 4, the currently measured average load L m exceeds the stored comparison parameter P v and the electronic control device 6 so concludes that a defrosting operation has taken place
- Cooling cycle C K interrupted after the end of the start phase and the special refrigeration cycle C D started. Since the load L is only measurable during the cooling cycle C K , the
- Thermostat 3 triggered switching signal can be started, but only after the end of the start phase of the cooling cycle C K.
- Cooling capacity provides, and therefore the
- FIG. 7 shows another aspect of the invention in which, due to the monitoring of the comparison parameter P v , the electronic control device 6 of FIG. 7
- Refrigerant compressor 2 on a previous interruption of the power supply (as POWER BREAK in the drawing
- the electronic control device 6 monitors the
- Control device 6 is no information about the duration of the interruption of the power supply. In the event of a brief power failure, the triggering of the special cooling cycle C D does not make sense, since the cold room temperature only rises slightly during the interruption. However, if the power interruption lasts longer, the cooling volume 4 heats up and should be cooled down quickly by means of the special cooling cycle C D.
- the further temperature T w is used as currently measured parameter value P a
- the further temperature T w is measured by a temperature measuring device 7, either integral part of the electronic
- Control device 6 of the refrigerant compressor 2 is or is arranged on the housing 8 of the refrigerant compressor 2.
- the comparison parameter P v is this
- Embodiment by a comparison temperature T v with which the currently measured additional temperature T w is compared.
- a comparison temperature T v with which the currently measured additional temperature T w is compared.
- Temperature T w with the reference temperature T v can be checked how far the electronic control device 6 and the housing 8 of the refrigerant compressor 2 have cooled.
- Refrigerant compressor 2 triggered because it can be concluded on a long-lasting interruption of the power supply.
- Special cooling cycle C D is triggered without a power failure was detected at the same time, so in other words can be concluded by monitoring the further temperature T w on a previous defrosting and the corresponding special cooling cycle C D are triggered.
- Parameter P a is not around the further temperature is T w and a previous power failure from the electronic
- Control device 6 of the refrigerant compressor 2 has been detected. For example, it is also possible to deduce a longer interruption of the power supply if the currently measured parameter value P a is the currently measured load L or the currently determined average load L m and an overshoot or undershoot of the comparison parameter P v has been detected ,
- Refrigerant compressor 2 is not constantly operated at the maximum speed v max during the special cooling cycle C D , but with a percentage of it, for example, 85% of the maximum speed v max . Furthermore, it may be advantageous if the refrigerant compressor 2 during the
- Special cooling cycle C D does not fall below a predefined speed v D , wherein the predefined speed v D is again defined as a percentage of the maximum speed v max , for example 75%. It is also advantageous if the refrigerant compressor 2 is operated immediately after the triggering of the special cooling cycle C D with a high predefined speed v D , wherein the predefined speed v D
- the currently measured parameter values P a are stored in the electronic control device 6 of the refrigerant compressor 2 over several operating cycles C. This is particularly advantageous if the value of the comparison parameter P v is adapted on the basis of the stored parameter values P s .
- the comparison parameter P v for example, depending on an extreme value P E , ie a minimum or maximum, the stored parameter values P s are varied or
- Comparison parameter P v can either directly the
- Comparison parameter P v is taken into account, ie the
