Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an abnormal rise of a discharge pressure at the time of a cooling operation and an operation with a low frequency by detecting a refrigerant discharge pressure value of a compressor and an operating frequency thereof at the time of the cooling operation and by setting the operating frequency of the compressor at the lowest frequency determined beforehand, in a prescribed condition. CONSTITUTION:With the start of a cooling operation, a pressure value P is read by a pressure detector 9 and compared with a set pressure value Po set in a set pressure storage means 11, by a first comparing means 12. When P>=Po, the lowest frequency fo is outputted from a lowest frequency setting means 13. Meanwhile, an operating frequency (f) of a compressor 1 is read by a frequency detecting means 14 and the lowest frequency fo and the operating frequency (f) are compared with each other by a second comparing means 15. When f<=fo, the operating frequency (f) is switched over to the lowest frequency fo by a frequency setting means 16 and the compressor 1 is driven. Accordingly, the compressor 1 is driven under the conditions of a high discharge pressure and a low operating frequency and it is prevented that the discharge pressure is put in an extraordinarily high state. As the result, occurrence of locking of the compressor 1 or shortening of the lifetime thereof is prevented.
