Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for controlling head pressure in a vapor compression system, e.g. in a precision air conditioning system. One embodiment of the invention provides a method for regulating working fluid flow in a vapor compression system including a compressor. The method includes: providing a controller; receiving signals at the controller representative of a monitored discharge pressure in a discharge line of the compressor; and using the controller to provide a control signal to an actuator that controls a flow control valve that, in turn, controls working fluid flow into the system, the control signal being responsive at least in part to a difference between a set point pressure and the monitored discharge pressure.

Abstract: An air pressure differential sensing system includes a conduit defining an air passage through which air flows upon application of an air pressure differential across different regions of the air passage, a flap pivotally connected to the conduit, and a sensing device mounted proximate to the air passage and separate from the flap. The flap is configured to move about a pivotal axis in response to the air flowing through the air passage. The sensing device is configured to sense an angular position of the flap about the pivotal axis, the angular position of the flap being a function of the air pressure differential.
