Oil Return Operation
In order to prevent the compressor from running out of oil, the oil return operation is conducted
to recover oil that has flowed out from the compressor to the system side.
Tc : High pressure equivalent saturation temperature
Te : Low pressure equivalent saturation temperature
Ts: Suction pipe temperature detected by thermistor R3T
Starting conditions
Referring to the set conditions for the following items, start the oil return operation in cooling.
Cumulative oil feed rate
Timer setting (Make this setting so as to start the oil return operation when the initial
Furthermore, the cumulative oil feed rate is computed from Tc, Te, and compressor loads.
