The present invention relates to a linear compressor, and more particularly, to a linear compressor which supplies a necessary cooling capacity through a natural cooling capacity modulation and a forcible cooling capacity modulation, and a cooling system using the same. The linear compressor according to the present invention includes a compression space into which refrigerant is sucked, a movable member which linearly reciprocates to compress the refrigerant sucked into the compression space, one or more springs which are installed to elastically support the movable member in a motion direction of the movable member, a motor unit which includes a motor and a capacitor connected in series to the motor so as to make the movable member linearly reciprocate, and a motor control unit which performs a natural cooling capacity modulation according to a load by reciprocation of the movable member.

Linear compressor

A linear compressor for producing a driving force by magnetic induction and naturally modulating a cooling capacity according to a load includes a fixed member provided with a compression space, a movable member which linearly reciprocates inside the fixed member to compress refrigerant, a plurality of springs installed to elastically support the movable member in a motion direction, a first stator through which a current flows, a conductor member magnetically induced by the first stator to make the movable member linearly reciprocate, and a control unit which controls supply of a current with respect to the first stator.
