Abstract : The aim of this study is to determine the electronic expansion valve (EEV) opening using a fuzzy table when the superheating of a
variable capacity air conditioning system is controlled via fuzzy control. Optimum opening of EEV is determined by applying superheat
control method, where factors including superheat error and superheat gradient, as well as compressor capacity, indoor temperature, outdoor
temperature, and indoor fan rpm, are considered. This control algorithm uses a fuzzy table wherein values are changed to optimal
values according to operating conditions, enabling fast and stable control.
