    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of compressors, an evaporator, an expansion device, and a system controller. The compressors may be linked in parallel. The system controller may: determine a saturated evaporator temperature, a saturated condensing temperature, and a target capacity demand; determine an estimated system capacity and an estimated power consumption for each compressor operating configuration; compare the estimated system capacity with the target capacity demand and an error tolerance value; select an optimum operating mode based on the comparisons and based on the estimated power consumption; and command activation and deactivation of the plurality of compressors to achieve the selected optimum operating mode. The optimum operating mode may be selected after the normal system logic achieves a steady state and may be selected from a group having the estimated system capacity within the error tolerance of the target capacity demand and a lowest associated power consumption value.

    Abstract: A leak detection system for a refrigerant circuit is provided. The refrigerant circuit is sealed and circulates a working fluid having a refrigerant ( e.g ., flammable refrigerant) and an oil. A reducing tag component is solubilized within the refrigerant. The leak detection system also includes a sensor for detecting the tag component if the refrigerant should leak from the refrigerant circuit. The sensor is highly sensitive to the tag component and thus enhanced detection is enabled. The tag component is stable in the working fluid and does not affect the flammability rating or performance of the refrigerant or oil. The tag component is present at a concentration of from about 50 ppm to about 35,000 ppm in the refrigerant. Methods of detecting leaks from refrigeration systems are also provided.

    Abstract: A drive controller for a motor of a compressor includes a drive circuit that applies voltages to windings of the motor. The drive controller includes a speed control module that controls the drive circuit to rotate the motor at a requested speed. The drive controller includes a speed determination module that generates the requested speed. The drive controller includes a locked rotor protection module that identifies a locked rotor condition and, in response to identifying the locked rotor condition, instructs the speed determination module to power down the motor. The locked rotor protection module acquires an estimated speed of the motor upon expiration of a predetermined time interval that begins upon startup of the motor. The locked rotor protection module identifies the locked rotor condition in response to the estimated speed being lower than a threshold speed. The threshold speed is based on the requested speed.
