Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A control system controls adaptively an operation of a vapor compression system. The control system includes a memory for storing a mapping relationship between control inputs of the vapor compression system, and a processor for executing a supervisory controller and an optimization controller. The supervisory controller controls the operation of the vapor compression system using a set of control inputs selected according to the mapping relationship. The optimization controller modifies the mapping relationship in response to the operation of the vapor compression system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A control system for adaptively controlling an operation of a vapor compression system, comprising: a memory configured to store a mapping relationship between control inputs of the vapor compression system, wherein the mapping relationship maps values of at least a first control input to values of at least a second control input, such that a value of the first control input defines a value of the second control input forming a set of control inputs, wherein the firs…
