Method for operating a linear compressor
A method for operating a linear compressor includes establishing a set of predictors, and establishing a model for an estimated head clearance of the linear compressor with the set of predictors. Coefficients of the model for the estimated head clearance of the linear compressor may also be established. The model for the estimated head clearance of the linear compressor may be used to calculate an estimated head clearance during operation of the linear compressor.
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING LINEAR COMPRESSOR AND REFRIGERATOR
A method for controlling a linear compressor and a method for controlling a refrigerator are provided. The method for controlling a linear compressor may include measuring an ambient temperature, and when the measured ambient temperature is equal to or lower than a predetermined safety temperature, applying a safety current to a motor assembly for driving a piston. On the other hand, when the measured ambient temperature is higher than the predetermined safety temperature, a current lower than the safety current may be applied to the motor assembly.
