Oil return operation
ƒ Purpose
Perform oil return after a specified amount of time has elapsed in order to prevent an insufficient amount of oil in compressors.
ƒ Concept
The compressor capacity is raised to increase the amount of refrigerant circulation. This will return oil remaining in indoor units
and piping.
ƒ Control specifications in detail
- Oil
recovery operation shall be performed to prevent a compressor from being short of oil. Oil in pipes or indoor unit will be col-
lected to outdoor unit by
starting oil collecting operation.
- Oil collecting operation will begin 7 hours after outdoor unit starts to operate but time might be reduced depending on the
operating condition (# of compressor in operation and operating frequency).
- Master outdoor unit will be changed after oil collecting operation
.
