Abstract

A linear compressor driving device for linear compressor driving a piston in a cylinder by means of a linear motor to generate a compressed gas, has an inverter for outputting an alternating current to be supplied to the linear motor; current detecting means for detecting an output current from the inverter; voltage detecting means for detecting an output voltage from the inverter; current amplitude value determining means for determining a current amplitude value of the output current; output power calculating means for calculating an output power from the inverter based on the detected output current and the detected output voltage; frequency determining means for determining a frequency of the output current such that the output power is maximum; and inverter controller for controlling the inverter based on the determined current amplitude value and the determined frequency.
