Oil Return Control
In order to prevent the compressor from running out of oil, oil return control is conducted to recover
oil that has flowed out from the compressor to the system side.
3.2.1 Oil Return Control in Cooling
HTdi : Compressor discharge pipe temperature (Tdi) compensated with outdoor air temperature
Pe : Low pressure sensor detection value
Tc: High pressure equivalent saturation temperature
Te: Low pressure equivalent saturation temperature
Ts1: Suction pipe temperature detected by thermistor R3T
Starting conditions
Referring to the set conditions for the following items, start oil return control in cooling.
Cumulative oil feed rate
Timer setting (Make this setting so as to start the oil return control when the initial cumulative
Furthermore, the cumulative oil feed rate is computed from Tc, Te, and compressor loads
