Benefits of technology

The present patent describes a refrigeration system that includes a compressor, sensors, and a controller. The controller receives data from the sensors about the operation of the refrigeration system and uses it to determine the ideal output value of the compressor. If there are any abnormalities in the compressor's performance, the controller detects them based on the data collected from the sensors. This system improves the efficiency of the refrigeration system and helps detect defective components, resulting in better maintenance and repair.

Problems solved by technology

As another example, an embodiment of the present disclosure may result in the detection of defective components of the refrigeration system.

Abstract

A refrigeration system includes a compressor, one or more sensors, and a controller. The one or more sensors are operable to sense data associated with the operation of the refrigeration system. The controller is operable to receive the data associated with the operation of the refrigeration system from the one or more sensors, determine an ideal output value of the compressor based at least on data associated with the operation of the refrigeration system, and determine, based at least on the data associated with the operation of the refrigeration system and the ideal output variable, that the performance of the compressor is abnormal.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 318,889, filed Apr. 6, 2016 and entitled “Modular Outdoor Refrigeration System,” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This disclosure relates generally to a refrigeration system, specifically compressor diagnostics for a modular outdoor refrigeration system.BACKGROUND[0003]Refrigeration systems can be used to regulate the environment within an enclosed space. Various types of refrigeration systems, such as residential and commercial, may be used to maintain cold temperatures within an enclosed space such as a refrigerated case. To maintain cold temperatures within refrigerated cases, refrigeration systems must control the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant as it moves through the refrigeration system.[0004]Each refrigeration system typically includes at least one controller that directs the operation of the refrigeration system. The ...
