Abstract
An apparatus and method for controlling an operation of a reciprocating compressor are disclosed. The apparatus for controlling an operation of a reciprocating compressor includes: a TDC/BDC detecting unit for detecting a TDC and a BDC of the reciprocating compressor; and a controller for independently controlling the TDC and the BDC so as to fit each reference position based on the detected TDC and BDC. Efficiency of the reciprocating compressor can be enhanced by independently controlling a top dead center and a bottom dead center.
