Compressor Control Method for Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17967574 titled 'Compressor Control Method for Vehicle
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for controlling a compressor in a vehicle to prevent thermal burnout of the inverter. The method involves monitoring the discharge pressure of the compressor and the temperature of the inverter in real-time. If the discharge pressure exceeds a predetermined value, a protection mode is activated to prevent damage to the inverter.
- The method involves controlling the operation of a compressor in a vehicle.
- The compressor is used to cool or heat the interior of the vehicle.
- Real-time data is used to determine the discharge pressure of the compressor and the temperature of the inverter.
- The discharge pressure and inverter temperature are compared to predetermined values.
- If the discharge pressure exceeds a predetermined value, a protection mode is activated.
- The protection mode prevents thermal burnout of the inverter.
Potential Applications
- This method can be applied in vehicles with air conditioning systems to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the compressor and inverter.
- It can be used in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, or any vehicle with an inverter-driven compressor.
Problems Solved
- The method solves the problem of thermal burnout of the inverter in a vehicle's compressor system.
- It prevents damage to the inverter by activating a protection mode when the discharge pressure exceeds a safe limit.
Benefits
- The method ensures the longevity and reliability of the inverter in a vehicle's compressor system.
- It prevents costly repairs or replacements of the inverter due to thermal burnout.
- By monitoring real-time data, the method allows for efficient and optimized operation of the compressor.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment method for controlling a compressor of a vehicle includes selectively controlling an operation of the compressor by determining and comparing a discharge pressure of the compressor and a temperature of an inverter with predetermined values based on data detected in real time when the compressor is operated to cool or heat an interior of the vehicle and operating a protection mode to prevent thermal burnout of the inverter in response to a determination that the discharge pressure of the compressor is higher than an operation stop pressure.
