Abstract
A method of operating a transport refrigeration system having a refrigerant compressor driven by a prime mover. Electrical control maintains the temperature of a load in a conditioned space close to a desired set point via heating, cooling and null cycles, with the prime mover being started and stopped, as required, in response to the difference between the temperature of the conditioned space and a selected set point temperature, i.e., temperature error. Restarting of the prime mover is dynamically controlled by controlling the magnitude of the restart temperature error in response to the difference between the temperature of the conditioned space and ambient temperature.
