4-2-3 Compressor protection logic
Since linear Comp conducts linear reciprocating motion,
we have protection logic for compressor, motor and PCB
as the below.
- Stroke Trip
During the operation, if stroke is above the target value,
decrease the target volt by 3V.
- Current Trip
Current trip is set in order to protect compressor
mechanical part and drive from the overcurrent that might
arise during the operation.
Check the current for every 416.7us and if the Trip
exceeds 1.86Arms more than three times at Comp ON,
forcibly stop and restart six minutes later.
- Lock Piston Trip
If stroke is under 5mm even if the current is more than
14Arms, Take it as ‘piston lock’ and restart after 2’30” of
Comp OFF. Check the current and stroke for every
416.7us and if the condition fits more than three times at
Comp ON, the Trip occurs.
- IPM fault Trip
It occurs if FO signal received from IPM is LOW. For
every 416.7us, check whether FO signal is LOW. The trip
occurs if it is found three times during the five
periods(83ms).
4. ADJUSTMENT
4-1-1 Role
4-1 COMPRESSOR
The compressor intakes low temperature and low pressure
gas from the evaporator of the refrigerator and compresses
this gas to high-temperature and high-pressure gas. It then
delivers the gas to the condenser.
4-1-2 Note for Usage
(1) Be careful not to allow over-voltage and over-current.
(2) Do not drop or handle carelessly.
(3) Keep away from any liquid.
If liquid such as oil or water enters the Cover PTC
Compressor may fail due to breakdown of their
insulating capabilities.
(4) Always use the Parts designed for the compressor and
make sure it is properly attached to the compressor.
Parts may appear physically identical but could have
different electrical ratings. Replace parts by part number
and model number. Use only approved substitute parts.
4-1-3 Remove the cover PTC
(1) Remove the Cover Back M/C
(2) Loosen two screws on comp base
(3) Use a L-shaped flap tooll to pry off the cover
(4) Assembly in reverse order of disassembly
