The present disclosure relates to retrofit for fan control in refrigerated cases. In exemplary embodiments, a system includes a leak sensor module for sensing leaked refrigerant and a universal connector. The universal connector is configured as a junction for connecting an AC voltage source with the evaporator fan and the leak sensor module. The universal connector is configured to be operable for selectively supplying AC voltage from the AC voltage source to the evaporator fan, or to the leak sensor module, or to both the evaporator fan and the leak sensor module. The system is configured such that when the leak sensor module is activated to conduct leak testing, the AC voltage from the AC voltage source to the evaporator fan is interrupted by the universal connector to thereby turn OFF the evaporator fan and facilitate detection of any leaked refrigerant.

A climate-control system may include a compressor, a thermal storage device, an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, a first expansion device, and a second expansion device. The compressor may include an intermediate-pressure inlet, an intermediate-pressure outlet, a discharge outlet, a suction-pressure pocket, and a plurality of compression pockets. The thermal storage device may include a conduit and a phase-change material surrounding the conduit. The first expansion valve, the second expansion valve, the outdoor heat exchanger, the indoor heat exchanger, and the thermal storage device may be in fluid communication with the compressor. The climate-control system is operable in a charging mode and a discharging mode, and is operable in a cooling mode and a heating mode. The thermal storage device may be configured to absorb heat from a working fluid or to transfer heat to the working fluid.
A controller for a system having an evaporator, a condenser, and a dynamic compressor includes a processor and a memory, which stores instructions that program the processor to determine a first heat transfer fluid temperature at a first heat transfer fluid path of the evaporator, determine a first pressure at a first working fluid path based on the first heat transfer fluid temperature, determine a second heat transfer fluid temperature at a second heat transfer fluid path of the condenser, determine a second pressure at a second working fluid path based on the second heat transfer fluid temperature, calculate a pressure ratio of the compressor from the first and second pressures, determine a speed setpoint of the compressor based on the pressure ratio, and operate the compressor at the speed setpoint to compress a working fluid until a condition is met.

A system includes: a refrigerant compressor including an electric motor; a single printed circuit board (PCB); a drive that is disposed on the single PCB and that includes switches that control the application of power from a battery to the electric motor; and one or more processors disposed on the single PCB, the one or more processors configured to: determine a speed command for the refrigerant compressor based on one or more operating parameters; and actuate the switches of the drive based on the speed command.
A conditioning system for a conditioned interior space includes a vapor compression system, an evaporative cooling system, and a controller. The vapor compression system includes an evaporator, a condenser, a refrigerant active fluid for flowing between the evaporator and the condenser, a first fan to produce a first airflow toward the conditioned interior space, and a second fan for producing a second airflow from the condenser toward an exterior space. The evaporative cooling system includes a first tank containing a non-refrigerant active fluid, and a heat exchange device fluidically coupled to the first tank to receive the non-refrigerant active fluid. The first fan is positioned to produce the first airflow through the heat exchange device toward the conditioned interior space. The controller is programmed to control cooperative operation of the vapor compression system and the evaporative cooling system to condition the conditioned interior space.
