A refrigeration system configured for controlling operation of a compressor is disclosed. The refrigeration system comprises an electronic expansion device operatively coupled with the compressor. The refrigeration system comprises a controller operatively coupled with the electronic expansion device. The controller is configured to control the electronic expansion valve based on a superheat setpoint range. The controller is further configured to adjust the superheat setpoint range in response to an operating point of the compressor being within a threshold distance from a boundary of an operational envelope for the compressor.

Systems and methods for active compressor control

The present invention relates to a method and a system of commissioning elevator, and an elevator system. The method includes obtaining at least one operation data of at least one elevator door, comparing the operation data with corresponding criterion operation data, and determining whether a deviation between the operation data and the criterion operation data exceeds a pre-set range, and if so, triggering a control over at least one control end relevant to the operation of the elevator door to make a deviation between the operation data re-obtained and the criterion operation data fall within the pre-set range. The invention will increase the efficiency in elevator commissioning and remove the adverse effects on elevator operation caused by factors such as 'Stack Effect', and thereby ensure good working condition and high security of elevators.

A method of conditioning an environment includes generating, by a group feedback analysis system, a first comfort limit based on a first plurality of data points corresponding to user feedback of a group of users in an environment conditioned by an environmental conditioning system, and each associated with temperature and humidity environmental criterions. The method further includes generating a second comfort limit based on a second plurality of data points corresponding to user feedback of the group of users, and associated with the temperature and humidity environmental criterions. The method identifies a constrained comfort zone defined by the first comfort limit, the second comfort limit, predefined lower and upper bounds for the temperature environmental criterion, and predefined lower and upper bounds for the humidity environmental criterion. The environmental system is controlled to maintain the temperature and humidity environmental criterions within the constrained comfort zone.
