Note 1: Operation in this refrigerant dilution area is safe in air to air heat pump heating mode. For
other applications, such as AC only, review expansion device to raise superheat. A cold sump may
result in high refrigerant migration after shut down.

Accumulator
Figure 2
To prevent ooded start damage on 3 phase scrolls due to off cycle migration, the accumulator may be
congured on some systems to allow free drainage from the compressor to the accumulator during the
off cycle. When the above conguration is not possible and the unit charge is over the charge limit shown
in Table 5, a crankcase heater is required.
