Recently, it is increased to adopt inverter system to household electrical appliances, especially in ai conditioner and refrigerator. Inverter system is adopted for improving the efficiency. But Inverter system makes acoustic noise caused by switching frequency. In household electrical appliace, it is important to reduce acoustic noise. And in some cases it is possible to magnify the acoustic noise caused by switching, by system which may have different transfer characteristic. In this paper, random PWM method was adopted in inverter refrigerator using 8 bit microprocesso. We found useful PWM frequency and adoptation method.

In the single type mechanical compressor mounted on the refrigerated vehicle, one compressor is responsible for the refrigerator function of the air conditioner and the refrigerator, so it is difficult to maintain a certain refrigeration temperature in the summer. Particularly, in a mechanical compressor using an engine as a power source, the refrigeration quality is deteriorated due to unstable rotation of the engine. In this paper, we propose a three - phase inverter of a dual compressor system that uses an electric compressor separately from a mechanical compressor of a refrigerated vehicle. The output characteristics of the developed inverter were verified through a vehicle air conditioning simulator.

This paper presents the control algorithm of a single-phase AC/DC/AC PWM converter for the linear compressor of a refrigerator. The AC/DC/AC converter consists of a full-bridge PWM converter for the control of the input power factor and a half-bridge PWM inverter for the control of the single-phase linear compressor. At the DC-link of this topology, two capacitors are connected in series. These DC-link voltages must be balanced for safe operation. Thus, a new control method of DC voltage balancing for the half-bridge PWM inverter is proposed. The balancing algorithm uses the Integral-Proportional controller and inserts the DC-offset current at the Proportional-Resonant current controller of the inverter to solve the DC-link unbalanced voltages between the two capacitors. The proposed algorithm can be easily implemented without much computation and additional hardware circuit. The usefulness of the proposed algorithm is verified through several experiments.

Recently trends of home appliance has been changed in house and the demand for functional refrigerator has been increased. Power consumption of refrigerator accounts for a large proportion in consumer electronics. Also, compressor accounts for most of the power consumption in refrigerator parts. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-refrigerator system with single compressor & condenser fan in order to reduce energy. To verify the availability of the proposed multi refrigerant system, integration experiment is carried out.

Recently, the linear compressors with the free piston driven by the linear motor have widely attention in the cooling apparatus such as a refrigerator due to high efficiency. The method of using triacs as a linear motor drive is not satisfactory to improve the efficiency of the linear compressor. In this paper, the performance of the linear compressor using a PWM inverter such as the efficiency is investigated with the variations of both mechanical resonant frequency and electrical resonant frequency. The control loop for controlling both the piston stroke and efficiency is suggested. Through simulation and experimental studies, the performance of both the stroke and angle controls for improving the efficiency of the linear compressor is verified.

A precision of temperature control in the manufacturing process would be an important factor and become the main key to control production quality. Mostly manufacture machinery used oil as a coolant in their system so an accurate oil temperature control system become an absolute need in industrial field. This paper presents a experiment research to control the oil temperature constant at target point, in this experiment is $35^{\circ}C$ by using an inverter attached in compressor to varying the compressor speed. This control has been completed and tested through an experiment with different heat load of 4kW, 6kW, 7kW, 8kW and 10kW given under temperature constant room conditioned as $25^{\circ}C$. The results had shown the temperature deviation in the refrigerator has around $0.2^{\circ}C$ and the COP is 2.5 gained at 8kW and 10kW.

In recent years, The electronic and energy industries demand low power consumption and high efficiency, so under their demands, the white goods industries which are represented for refrigerator and air conditioner system be implemented energy-saving power suppling structure with inverter control system. As inverter control system is different from step control type, when switching system is optimizing temperature control during short period, the inrush plus current can be flown in the circuit. In despite of these characteristics, there is no fuse which can be applied to this type until now. For this reason, we suggest the method of manufacturing protector in the high efficient inverter control system using the alumina-based ceramic radiated heat characteristics and metal films laminated plating. And through the evaluating electrical characteristics, we make a possible to utilize the method when designing overall fuses.

Inverter-Type refrigerators are known to consume less energy by varying the inverter frequency according to indoor temperatures and refrigerant pressure through indoor-outdoor communication. However, many commercial operators cannot afford to replace indoor units with ones capable of communication. In a non-communication configuration, indoor units are connected with an inverter-type outdoor unit without intercommunication abilities. The research goal is finding appropriate operating parameters to achieve energy efficiency. Thus, an operation algorithm with two modes is proposed, i.e., one to search the best operating parameters and one for normal operation with the best parameters. The experimental evaluation showed 11.27% reduction in energy consumption, indicating a good applicability of the algorithm.

This paper describes a precise temperature control method for refrigerating and air conditioning systems. The control technique is based on the optimal servo control design method and the control algorithm is implemented on a personal computer. To control the precise temperature, two actuators such as an inverter for the compressor speed control and a stepping motor for regulating the expansion valve are used. The superheat and evaporator temperatures are chosen as the system output. So a multivariable system which has two inputs and two outputs to be controlled. The complicative model is identified by using an ARX(Auto Regressive eXogenous) model and the controller is designed by using the Matlab software.
