Classification: CPC F | IPC F

Claim 12:
13. An outdoor unit of a climate control system, the outdoor unit comprising:
a housing;
an adjustable compressor located within the housing and configured to circulate a refrigerant fluid through the climate control system;
a humidity sensor configured to detect a measurement representative of a humidity condition of an outdoor ambient environment; and
control circuitry operably coupled to the adjustable compressor and configured to:
establish a target parameter for controlling an operation of the adjustable compressor, the target parameter associated with a property of a refrigerant fluid circulated within the climate control system;
receive a signal indicative of the measurement associated with the humidity condition of the outdoor ambient environment from the humidity sensor;
convert the measurement representative of the humidity condition to an offset value, the offset value indicative of a latent cooling load associated with an indoor space conditioned by the climate control system;
adjust the target parameter based on the offset value, the adjustment establishing an adjusted target parameter,
monitor the property of the refrigerant fluid;
compare the monitored property to the adjusted target parameter; and
adjust an operation of the adjustable compressor based, at least in part, on the comparison of the monitored property to the adjusted target parameter.
