A regulation method for an inverter compressor in a refrigeration system including establishing a working area via limit values for evaporation temperatures, condensation temperatures, compressor speeds, maximum compression ratio, and maximum superheat value, and measuring working values of the compressor in terms of evaporation temperature, condensation temperature, and compression ratio. If the compressor operates outside the established working area, the method includes modifying the working parameters of the compressor by acting on elements to be selected among the compressor speed, the opening angle of the expansion valve, and a combination thereof. If the compressor does not go back to the working area within a certain time, the method includes stopping operation of the compressor and triggering an alarm.
