An inverter is disposed at a position on the upstream side relative to a compression mechanism along the flow of a refrigerant and the position cooled by the refrigerant. A motor is disposed at a position heated by the refrigerant compressed by the compression mechanism. A control device changes an upper limit value of a driving current supplied to the motor on the basis of at least one of first information relating to the temperature of the motor or second information relating to the temperature of the inverter.

In order to improve a method for selecting a frequency converter for a refrigerant compressor unit comprising a refrigerant compressor and an electric drive motor in such a way that the frequency converter is optimised for the application in question, it is proposed that a working state suitable for the operation of the refrigerant compressor unit is selected in an application field of an application diagram of the refrigerant compressor, that an operating frequency is selected for this selected working state, and that, on the basis of drive data, a working state operating current value corresponding to the selected working state and the selected operating frequency is ascertained for the operation of the refrigerant compressor unit

A variable refrigerant package air conditioner is shown that is easy to install in new construction with a unique base that causes collected mixture that overflows to drain outside the building. A control system is shown that has motors and compressor that are pulse width modulated so the air conditioner is infinitely variable while maintaining the highest possible power factor. Dehumidification of outside air occurs as it is mixed with inside air. By gradually approaching a temperature set point and even reheating after dehumidification, moisture is removed from the room.
