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
TsA: Suction pipe temperature detected by thermistor R5T
