Pump Down Residual Control
If liquid refrigerant is retained in the evaporator when the compressor is activated, the liquid
refrigerant enters the compressor and dilutes oil therein resulting in a decrease of lubricity.
Therefore, pump down residual control is performed to collect the refrigerant retained in the
evaporator when the compressor stops.
