without unloaders or variable capacity.

One single-step compressor, Cool 1, is started at 100% call for cooling from the temperature propor-
tional band and stopped at 0% (see Figure 13).
Figure 13 One single-step compressor without unloaders
Two Single-Step Compressors Without Unloaders—Two-Step
First single-step compressor, Cool 1, is started at 50% calculated output from the temperature propor-
tional band, and stopped at 0%. The second compressor, Cool 2, starts at 100% and stops at 50% (see
Figure 14).
One Compressor With an Unloader—Two-Step
The two-step compressor is started unloaded at 50%, Cool 1, calculated output from the temperature
proportional band and stopped at 0%. At 100% the compressor starts fully loaded, Cool 2, and returns
to unload operation at 50% (see Figure 14).
