OIL RETURN SYSTEM
The oil return system continuously maintains the prop-
er oil level in the compressor oil sump.
High pressure condenser gas flows continuously
through the eductor inducing the low pressure, oil rich
liquid to flow from the evaporator, through the dehy-
drator to the compressor sump.
