| Abstract |
This paper presents a simple mechanical vibration and acoustic noise reduction of IF(current-frequency) starting sensorless controlled compressor. The adopted compressor is controlled by the sensorless estimation using back EMF observer in the normal speed range.
In order to increase the speed up to normal sensorless speed range, the IF open-loop starting method is used. At the IF starting, the speed variation from the fluid load makes a mechanical vibration and acoustic noise. In order to reduce the mechanical vibration and acoustic noise, a simple variable torque slope with initial rotor position estimation method is proposed in this paper. The proposed method uses an initial rotor position estimation than a conventional rotor alignment method. And, the torque reference slope according to the increased open-loop speed is changed by the hysteresis error between the open-loop reference speed and the estimated speed. Because of the initial rotor position and the variable current according to the speed can reduce the collision of the compressor at standstill and low-speed region. Consequently the mechanical vibration and acoustic noise can be reduced.
The proposed simple variable IF starting method is verified 2.2kW IPMSM driven HVAC(Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning) compressor. Experimental results shows the reduced vibration and acoustic noise at the starting to normal speed range. |
