3.2.2 Oil Return Control in Heating
Pc: High pressure sensor detection value
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
Tb : Heat exchanger temperature
Starting conditions
Oil return operation is not conducted before 2 hours have elapsed from the activation of power
supply.
After 2 hours have elapsed, oil return operation starts when the following item meets the
reference value.
Total amount of oil discharged from the compressor (The total amount of oil discharged from
the compressor is computed from Tc, Te, and compressor loads.)
Oil return operation starts every 8 hours of cumulative operation of the compressor, even if the
reference value is not met.
∗ Between (A) oil return preparation control and (B) oil return control, and between (B) oil return
control and (C) control after oil return, the compressor stops for 1 minute to reduce noise on
changing of the four way valve.
