Abstract
An air conditioning system includes a main circuit having a multi-stage compressor, a condenser, a throttling element and an evaporator connected by pipelines; and a cooling branch, the inlet of which is connected to the main circuit between the condenser and the throttling element, and the outlet of which is connected to at least one of the first-stage suction port and the intermediate-stage suction port of the multi-stage compressor, wherein refrigerant from the cooling branch flows through the drive motor of the multi-stage compressor, and a regulating valve for controlling the opening of the cooling branch is provided on the cooling branch; and a control module that controls the opening of the regulating valve on the cooling branch based on the temperature of the outlet downstream of the drive motor on the cooling branch and the intermediate suction pressure of the intermediate-stage suction port of the multi-stage compressor.
