Current fromutility 102 may encounterPFC system 104 prior to being used byinverter drive 116 to drivemotor 108.PFC system 104 may be any device that improves a power factor of a load.PFC system 104 may be a passive PFC, such as a bank of capacitors used to balance an inductive load or an inductor to balance a capacitive load.PFC 104 may also be any conventional active PFC that actively matches the load to the mains resulting in a high power factor, i.e., a power factor approaching 1.0. - Alternatively,
electrical switch 112 may be controlled bycontrol module 106 to select a second current path that bypassesPFC system 104 and provides current fromutility 102 to inverter drive 116 to drivemotor 108.Inverter drive 116 may drivemotor 108 at a variable speed to operatecompressor 32 ofheat pump system 10.Sensor 122 may be located betweenelectrical switch 112 and inverter drive 116 to measure parameters such as an input current or an voltage and/or to take a watt meter measurement.Sensor 123 may be located withmotor 108 and may measure parameters frommotor 108 such as current, voltage, actual compressor operating speed, and/or current command operating speed, and the like. Each ofsensors module 106.Sensor 124 may be a single sensor or a number of sensors that measure parameters ofheat pump system 10 such as discharge temperature or pressure, suction temperature or pressure, condenser temperature or pressure, evaporator temperature or pressure, compressor speed, refrigerant temperature or pressure, and the like. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 ,control module 106 may includePFC control module 140,PFC module 142, andstorage module 144.PFC module 142 ofcontrol module 106 may be in communication with utility data fromsensor 121, drive input data fromsensor 122, motor data fromsensor 123, and heat pump data fromsensor 124.PFC module 142 may be in communication withPFC control module 140 andstorage module 144.PFC module 142 may use the data from sensors from 121, 122, 123 and 124 along with values stored instorage module 144 to determine a desired PFC status. -
Storage module 144 may include stored values such as data received fromsensors PFC control module 140 may receive a signal fromPFC module 142 regarding the PFC status. PFC control module may provide a signal toselection device 112 to select a current path fromutility 102 toinverter drive 116. - Referring now to
FIG. 4 ,control logic 200 including a flow chart for a control system for power factor correction is depicted. Atblock 202,sensor 121 may provide an input voltage fromutility 102 toPFC module 142.Control logic 200 may then continue to block 204. Atblock 204,sensor 123 may providePFC module 142 with a compressor motor operating parameter, such as an output power ofmotor 108, the commanded compressor operating speed or the actual compressor operating speed. Alternatively, output power ofmotor 108 may be estimated based on other sensed measurements, such as current or voltage. Whilecontrol logic 200 provides specific examples of measured parameters that may be used to control PFC system, it should be understood that these parameters are provided for example purposes and that other parameters such as power factor, utility power, watt meter power, utility input line voltage, or system temperatures or pressures fromsensors Control logic 200 may continue to block 206. - At
block 206,PFC module 142 may access a predetermined voltage threshold range fromstorage module 144. For example, the predetermined voltage threshold range may be between 80% of the rated line voltage and 120% of the rated line voltage. Accordingly,PFC module 142 may compare the measured utility voltage to the predetermined range of between 80% of the rated line voltage and 120% of the rated line voltage. If the utility voltage is outside of the predetermined range, e.g., between 80% and 120% of rated line voltage,control logic 200 may continue to block 210 to enable power factor correction. This may allow PFC to operate when the utility is heavily loaded, for example. If the measured voltage is within the predetermined range, e.g., between 80% and 120% of rated line voltage,control logic 200 may continue to block 208. - At
block 208,PFC module 142 may access a predetermined operating parameter threshold fromstorage module 144. The predetermined operating parameter threshold may be a predetermined percentage (e.g., 50 percent) of rated motor power or normal operating speed if commanded compressor operating speed or actual compressor operating speed are used as the compressor operating parameter. Alternatively, a combination of operating parameter thresholds may be used.PFC module 142 may compare the measured compressor motor operating parameter to the predetermined operating parameter threshold. For example, if the compressor motor operating parameter is output power ofmotor 108 and the predetermined operating parameter threshold is 50 percent of the rated motor power,PFC module 142 inblock 208 may compare whether the measured output power ofmotor 108 exceeds 50 percent of the rated motor power. If the measured output power ofmotor 108 does exceed 50 percent of rated motor power,control logic 200 may continue to control block 210 to enable power factor correction. In this manner,PFC 104 may be used whenmotor 108 is drawing more current fromutility 102 and when rated watt power is not determined. If the compressor motor operating parameter does not exceed the predetermined operating parameter threshold,control logic 200 may continue to block 212. - As discussed above, compressor motor operating parameter may be an output power of
motor 108, the commanded compressor operating speed or the actual compressor operating speed. Accordingly, the predetermined operating parameter threshold may be appropriately matched. It should be recognized that the above percentage threshold values and ranges are for example purposes only and different values may be used for utility voltage, motor power, commanded compressor operating speed, or actual compressor operating speed, as appropriate. When different measurement parameters are used, corresponding associated threshold values may likewise be used.Control logic 200 may be configured such that a number of thresholds must be met to enable or disable power factor correction. - At
block 210,PFC control module 140 may transmit a signal toelectrical switch 112 to enable power factor correction.Switch 112 may connect a current path betweenutility 102 andPFC system 104.Control logic 200 may then end. Atblock 212PFC control module 140 may provide a signal toelectrical switch 112 to select a current path such thatutility 102 feeds current directly to inverter drive 116 through a normal rectifier without usingPFC system 104.Control logic 200 may then end. - Those skilled in the art may now appreciate from the foregoing that the broad teachings of the present disclosure may be implemented in a variety of forms. Therefore, while this disclosure has been described in connection with particular examples thereof, the true scope of the disclosure should no be so limited since other modifications will become apparent to the skilled practitioner upon a study of the drawings, the specification and the following claims.
