An adaptive control for a refrigeration system using pulse width modulated duty cycle scroll compressor

A control for a refrigeration system serviced by a special pulse width modulated compressor (30) coupled to a condenser (32)and evaporator (42). The system can be of the distributed type wherein the condenser (32) and compressor (30) may be coupled to service a group of adjacent refrigeration cases, wherein each case would have its own evaporator (42). A controller (52) is coupled to a load sensor (58) for producing a variable duty cycle control signal (54) in which the duty cycle is a function of demand for cooling. Moreover, fuzzy logic technique may be utilized in order to provide self adaptive tuning control for the system.
