Definitions

  • the thermistor has a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity and is mounted in a housing wall [52] U S C :4:g?b? a f i above the normal liquid level, where the liquid includes [51] Int. C] Fz'sb 47/00 at least some refrigerant.
  • the thermistor is connected [58] Field 85 192 in a circuit which is normally energized, so that the 62/l93 thermistor is self-energized and its impedance is low. If i 2 refrigerant accumulates and contacts the thermistor, the refrigerant boils off and rapidly cools the thermis- [56] References cued tor, increasing its impedance.
  • compressors are generally used to raise the temperature and pressure of the gaseous refrigerant before it enters the condensor to remove heat from the system.
  • a hermetic compressor generally has a motor in the upper portion of the housing, coupled over a shaft to the compressor itself in the lower portion of the housing. Oil can be contained in the bottom of the housing, where it contacts the shaft to provide lubrication for the driving system.
  • refrigerant enters the lower part of the housing and increases the liquid level, the liquid can enter the compressor cylinders and damage the compressor.
  • Various systems have been devised to protect against such a high liquid level condition in compressors (or in the receiver or other system component), but none has proved satisfactory.
  • Another important consideration of the invention is the provision of such a protective arrangement which is effective when the liquid level is excessive at the time the system is energized to prevent energization of the electric motor.
  • the present invention includes a control circuit for protecting a refrigeration system which includes an electric motor.
  • the system includes a housing for retaining liquid which has at least some refrigerant at a given level in its lower portion.
  • the control circuit includes a voltage divider circuit, having an impedance component coupled over a common terminal to an element which has a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity; this element is mounted in the housing above the given liquid level.
  • An a-c voltage is applied over a pair of conductors to the voltage divider circuit.
  • a rectifier is coupled to one of the conductors, and a d-c relay has its winding coupled between this rectifier and the other conductor.
  • the relay has a contact set connected to regulate power transfer to the electric motor.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the incorporation of the control circuit of this invention with an energizing system for a motor-driven compressor;
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram depicting details of the control circuit shown generally in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 depicts a general arrangement for energizing a compressor 10.
  • Three phase a-c energy is received from a conventional power source (not shown) over lines 11a, 1 lb and 1 1c and applied to maintain controller 12.
  • Energy from one phase circuit is passed over line 13 to power control unit 14; of course line 13 represents two conductors but a single line is depicted for simplicity of explanation.
  • This energy is then passed over line 15 to compressor control circuit 16, which also receives a control signal over line 17.
  • This control signal can be a temperature-representative signal from a thermostat.
  • the output signal from control circuit 16 is passed over line 18 to a liquid level control circuit 20.
  • a thermistor 21 is positioned in the crankcase of compressor 10 above a reference level 4] representing the normal upper surface of the liquid 22, including oil and refrigerant. Under normal conditions the liquid level remains below the given level 41, when additional refrigerant does not leak down to increase the level of the refrigerant-andoil mixture.
  • the signal from thermistor 21 is applied over line 23 to liquid level control circuit 20.
  • the output signal from circuit 20 is passed over line 29 to controller 12. If the oil-refrigerant liquid rises above level 41, it represents a dangerous and undesired condition, in that liquid could enter the compressor cylinders and damage the compressor.
  • controller 12 When the liquid level in compressor 10 is below thermistor 21, controller 12 is effective to complete a circuit for passing electrical energy over lines 40a, 40b and 400 to energize motor 10a in the upper portion of the compressor assembly.
  • the liquid level control circuit 20 is not effective to energize and deenergize the compressor itself, but rather is in series with the signal from compressor control circuit 16 to regulate operation of controller 12.
  • thermistor element 21 is shown within control circuit 20 in FIG. 2, although physically it is mounted in the crankcase of compressor 10 as shown generally in FIG. 1. Electrically thermistor 21 is coupled over a common terminal 24 to an impedance component 25. Component 25 is shown as a resistor in FIG. 2, and with thermistor 21 forms a voltage divider circuit between a pair of conductors 18a, 18b over which the a-c voltage is applied to control circuit 20. Another series circuit between conductors 18a and 18b includes a thermostat 26, a diode 27, a resistor 28, and a relay winding 42. Relay winding 42 with its associated contact set 43 can be considered as a switching means for regulating de-energization of the compressor motor when the excess liquid level condition is detected.
  • Unit 31 is shown as a lightemitting diode (LED), because such units provide a visible indication of current flow and exhibit only a very small voltage drop, usually less than 2 volts.
  • LED lightemitting diode
  • Conventional indicator lamps (such as incandescent bulbs) which have a drop of several volts may not be workable in the circuit, ashe units 31, 32 must provide a virtural short circuit across winding 42 when switch 32 is turned on.
  • Switch 32 can be a silicon-controlledrectifier (SCR) or any other suitable switch with input, output and gate connections. Thev input and output connections are coupled in series with unit 31 as shown.
  • the gate connection of switch 32 is coupled over a series circuit including a resistor 33, a second semiconductor switch 34, a diode 35, and a resistor 45 to common terminal 24.
  • the second switch 34 can be another SCR, with its gate coupled over resistor 46 to conductor 18b.
  • a Zener diode 47 is coupled between the anode and the gate of second switch 34 as shown.
  • a resistor 36 is connected as shown between the oath ode of switch 34 and conductor 18b.
  • a capacitor 37 is coupled between resistor 45 and conductor 18b to complete an RC filter 45, 37 for protection against noise and other transients which might otherwise effect spurious triggering of SCR 32.
  • Another filter capacitor 38 is coupled between diode7 and line 18b to filter the d-c voltage provided by diode 27 for energizinghe d-c relay winding 42, and for maintaining first SCR 32 in the conducting state after it is gated on.
  • the thermistor is a self-heated unit; it can be considered a heater, radiating heat to the interior of the compressor crankcase. As the thermistor is heated, its effective resistance value is decreased, so that most of the potential across the voltage divider circuit appears across resistor 25. The potential across thermistor 21 is sufficiently low so that the positive excursions of the a-c voltage passing through diode 35 are not sufficient to pass any pulse through Zener diode 47 to the gate of SCR 34. With SCR 34 off, there is no drive to the gate of SCR 32,'relay windings 42 and 30 remain energized and contact set 44 is closed.
  • the boiling heat transfer, as the refrigerant contacts the thermistor, is very important. This provides a substantial impedance change and consequent large change in the signal voltage developed across the thermistor. This large change in the signal or control voltage is sufficient both to overcome any variations caused by changes in the ambient temperature, and to minimize voltage fluctuations caused by power supply variations.
  • thermostat switch 26 is momentarily opened to interrupt the current through SCR 32.
  • the dial of the thermostat can be turned to effect the circuit interruption.
  • Use of the switch in conjunction with the thermostat element is preferable because actuation of the switch does not change the room temperature setting on the thermostat.
  • the effective resistance of thermistor 21 will have reached a suitably low value when switch 26 is restored to the closed circuit condition so that there will be no gate drive to the SCR 34, and SCR 32 will be off.
  • relay winding 42 will again be energized to close contact set 43, energize winding 30 and complete the power transfer circuit for the compressor.
  • SCR 34 will immediately turn on SCR' 32 to prevent the operation of the compressor motor 100.
  • thermistor 21 is contacting the oil-and-refrigerant liquid and is being cooled.
  • a voltage divider circuit including an impedance component coupled over a common terminal to an element having a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity and mounted in said housing above said given level;
  • a d-c relay having a winding coupled between said rectifier and the other of said conductors, and having a contact set connected to regulate power transfer to the electric motor;
  • a first semiconductor switch having input, output, and gate connections, coupled in parallel with said relay winding
  • a filter capacitor coupled between said rectifier and said other conductor, for maintaining a d-c energizing voltage across the first semiconductor switch
  • circuit means including a second semiconductor switch, coupled between the gate connection of the first semiconductor switch and the common terminal in the voltage divider circuit, to provide a turnon signal for the first semiconductor switch as a function of an impedance change in said element signifying cooling as the refrigerant liquid contacts the element and boils off.
  • a voltage divider circuit including an impedance component coupled over a common terminal to a thermistor having a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity and mounted in the compressor housing above said given level;
  • a d-c relay having a winding coupled between said rectifier and the other of said conductors and having a contact set connected in the power transfer path for the electric motor;

  • a filter capacitor coupled between said rectifier and said other conductor, for maintaining a d-c energizing voltage across the first semiconductor switch and the d-c relay winding;
  • circuit means including a second semiconductor switch, coupled between said first semiconductor switch and the common terminal in the voltage divider circuit, to gate on the first semiconductor switch as the impedance of the thermistor increases to signify increased heat conduction by contact with the refrigerant.
  • a voltage divider circuit coupled between said pair of conductors, including a resistor coupled over a common terminal to a thermistor which has a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity, which thermistor is mounted in the compressor housing above said given level;
  • a series circuit coupled between said pair of conductors, including a rectifier and the winding of a d-c relay, so that a-c voltage supplied over the pair of conductors is rectified by the rectifier to energize the relay winding, which relay has a contact set connected in the power transfer path for the electric motor;
  • a first silicon controlled rectiifer having its anode and cathode connections coupled in parallel with the d-c relay winding, and having a gate connection;
  • a filter capacitor coupled in parallel with the anodecathode path of the first silicon controlled rectifier, and in parallel with the d-c relay winding, to maintain a d-c energizing voltage across these components;
  • a trigger circuit for said first silicon controlled rectifier coupled between its gate connection and the common terminal in the voltage divider circuit, comprising a diode and a second silicon controlled rectifier, to gate on the first silicon controlled rectifier as the impedance of the thermistor rises when refrigerant contacts the thermistor, boils off to cool the thermistor and thus increases its impedance.
