A compressor control apparatus, and a compressor control method. The compressor may be operated in an operation mode in which commercial power applied to the compressor does not pass through an alternating current capacitor when the load is in an overload state, thereby preventing the loss of a drive and effectively reducing the copper and core loss of the compressor.

Apparatus and method for using a microcomputer and switches to control the flow path for the power of a compressor based upon the compressor's load state

A machine includes at least two compressors that is controlled by a compressor controlling apparatus. By using an inverter for the at least two compressors, the use of elements is minimized and the compressor capacity may be increased, and the operation efficiency of the system may be enhanced. As an example, a plurality of operation modes may be used according to a load or cooling capacity of the two compressors. The two compressors are separately or simultaneously operated by using the inverter, thus simplifying the configuration of the system, and reducing cost.

Machine including compressor controlling apparatus and method

A compressor control apparatus and method, and a refrigerator including the same, are provided. In a refrigerator having two compressors, starting of two compressors may be staggered to reduce an effect of the suction pressure and discharge pressure between the two compressors, to provide for stable operation of the compressors, and improve reliability and power consumption.

Apparatus and method for controlling compressor, and refrigerator having the same

A compressor control apparatus, and a refrigerator including the same are provided. Operation of two compressors may be controlled using one inverter, thereby reducing a number of components, increasing compressor capacity, and enhancing operation efficiency of the system. Commonly used switching elements may be switched at an operating frequency, allowing the simultaneous operation of two compressors, reducing switching losses, and improving the efficiency and stability of the system.
