In order to control multi-zone temperatures, a multi-type air-conditioning system may be used. In this study, control algorithms for the compressor and the electronic expansion valve of a multi-type air-conditioning system were developed by using fuzzy logics. The compressor control algorithm was composed of a compressor pressure setpoint algorithm, a compressor pressure setpoint reset algorithm, and a compressor frequency setpoint algorithm. The electronic expansion valve control algorithm was composed of an indoor temperature control algorithm, and a superheat control algorithm. These algorithms were applied to a multi-type air-conditioning system. Test showed good results for the control of a multi-type air-conditioning system.

Numerical simulation has been made on the performance of an oil free air compressor for automotive electronic air suspension system. Calculation results on the flow rate at various air supply pressures were reasonably well compared to the experimental data. With the aid of the computer simulation program, parametric study on the compressor design parameters has also been carried out for the compressor performance improvement: Increase in the discharge port diameter or discharge valve stiffness was found to be effective to increase the flow rate per unit compressor input for the present compressor model.

Approximate Computing is a promising method for designing hardware-efficient computing systems. Approximate multiplication is one of key operations used in approximate computing methods for high performance and low power computing. An approximate 4-2 compressor can implement hardware-efficient circuits for approximate multiplication. In this paper, we propose an approximate multiplier with low area and low power characteristics. The proposed approximate multiplier architecture is segmented into three portions; an exact region, an approximate region, and a constant correction region. Partial product reduction in the approximation region are simplified using a new 4:2 approximate compressor, and the error due to approximation is compensated using a simple error correction scheme. Constant correction region uses a constant calculated with probabilistic analysis for reducing error. Experimental results of 8×8 multiplier show that the proposed design requires less area, and consumes less power than conventional 4-2 compressor-based approximate multiplier.

The vibration of a rolling piston type rotary compressor for air-conditioning use is analyzed numerically and experimentally. Multibody dynamic analysis methods to predict the vibration are given. The compressor is modeled as a multibody system composed of bodies, joints, and force elements. Experimental results are shown to compare with simulation results. A sensitivity study using different variables that affect the compressor vibration is also carried out. It is found that the mass of the weight balancer plays an important role in acceleration.

In this paper, an accelerated degradation test procedure for an electronic appliance compressor is proposed. We investigate the amount of wear of the compressor and consider several factors as accelerating factors. Finally we select the operating pressure as a main accelerating factor. The test condition of accelerated degradation test is determined. The modified accelerating test reduces the test time in design phase by using the suggested accelerating factor.

Energy consumption of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems is responsible for about 25 to 30% of the energy demand especially in hot seasons. This equipment is mostly electricity dependent and their use in principle affects negatively the environment. Enhancing the energy efficiency of the existing equipment is important as one of the measures to reduce environment impacts. This paper reports the results of an experimental study to evaluate the impacts of the use electronic expansion valve and variable velocity compressor on the performance of vapor compression refrigeration system. The experimental rig is composed of two independent circuits one for the vapor compression system and the other is the secondary fluid system. The vapor compression system is composed of a forced air condenser unit, evaporator, hermetic compressor and expansion elements, while the secondary system has a pump for circulating the secondary fluid, and an air conditioning heat exchanger. The manufacturer's data was used to determine the optimal points of operation of the system and consequently tests were done to evaluate the influence of variation of the compressor velocity and the opening of the expansion device on the performance of the refrigeration system. A fuzzy logic model was developed to control the rotational velocity of the compressor and the thermal load. Fuzzy control model was made in LabVIEW software with the objective of improving the system performance, stability and energy saving. The results showed that the use of fuzzy logic as a form of control strategy resulted in a better energy efficiency.

The paper presents the characteristics of capacity control of variable speed water cooler with the electronic expansion valve open/close degree. It is a preliminary study on the optimum control of the water cooler system using a variable speed compressor controlled by inverter. The electronic expansion valve controlled by the variation of compressor speed maintains the constant degree of superheat at the evaporator outlet, which aims to find the degree of superheat obtaining the optimum refrigeration effect. The investigation indicates that there is a point achieving the maximum cooling capacity by the variation of the electronic expansion valve open/close degree with constant compressor speed.

Compressors are widely used in high-speed electronic systems and are used to reduce the number of operands in multiplier. The proposed compressor is constructed based on the m-GDI(: modified gate diffusion input) to reduce the propagation delay time. This paper is compared the performance of compressors by applying 4-2, 5-2 and 6-2 m-GDI compressors to the multiplier, respectively. As a simulation results, compared to the 8-bit Dadda multiplier using the 4-2 and 6-2 compressor, the multiplier using the 5-2 compressor is reduced propagation delay time 13.99% and 16.26%, respectively. Also, the multiplier using the 5-2 compressor is reduced PDP(: Power Delay Product) 4.99%, 28.95% compared to 4-2 and 6-2 compressor, respectively. However, the multiplier using the 5-2 compression circuit is increased power consumption by 10.46% compared to the multiplier using the 4-2 compression circuit. In conclusion, the 8-bit Dadda multiplier using the 5-2 compressor is superior to the multipliers using the 4-2 and 6-2 compressors. The proposed circuit is implemented using TSMC 65nm CMOS process and its feasibility is verified through SPECTRE simulation.

An experimental study was conducted to investigated the effect of refrigerant flow control on the performance of a variable-speed heat pump operating in both cooling and heating mode. For this purpose, cooling and heating capacity, EER and refrigerant mass flow rate corresponding to an electronic valve as well as a capillary tube were measured as functions of compressor speed, length of capillary tube (or valve opening of the electronic valve), refrigerant charge, and outdoor temperature. From the comparison of experimental results, it was found that the performance variation due to the electronic valve opening became significant as the operating conditions(outdoor temperature and compressor speed) deviated from the standard condition at which heating capacity and EER were rated for the indicated capillary tube.
