SINGLE-PORT LIQUID INJECTION
The singleport liquid injection system is desig ned to permit
liquid refrigerant injection into one port on the compressor
at any given moment and operates as outlined.
The liquid injection solenoid valve is energized by the micro
processor when the temperature sensor, in stalled in the
compressor discharge, exceeds the setpoint. Highpressure
liquid refriger ant is then supplied to the tempera ture control
valve (TCV). Refer to P & I DIAGRAMS section for piping
and instrumentation drawings.

DUAL-PORT LIQUID INJECTION
The dualport liquid injection system is design ed to obtain
the most efcient compressor performance at high and low
compression ratios by permitting injection of liquid refriger ant
into one of two ports optimally located on the com pressor.
This minimizes the performance penalty incurred with liquid
injection oil cooling.
The dualport system contains all the com ponents of the
singleport system with the addition of a doubleacting
solenoid valve and operates as outlined.
The liquid injection solenoid valve is energized by the micro
processor when the temperature sensor, in stalled in the oil
manifold, exceeds the setpoint. Liquid refrigerant is then
passed through the tempera ture control valve (TCV) to the
doub leacting solenoid valve. Depending on the compres
sor’s operating volume ratio (Vi), the micropro cessor will
select the ow of the liquid refrigerant to the optimum
com pressor port.
