Abstract

A method for operating a linear compressor includes providing a current controller, a resonance controller and a clearance controller. The current controller, the resonance controller and the clearance controller are configured for regulating operating parameters of a motor of the linear compressor. By managing priority between the current controller, the resonance controller and the clearance controller, the method may assist with efficiently operating the linear compressor while also maintaining stability.
